We woke to a bit of a shock on Saturday when I was up quite early, standing at the kitchen sink and saw what seemed to be a very large dog with something the colour of a chicken in its mouth. Tana was beside me so on second look it was not at all good....
It seemed that the fox had ripped the side off the chicken coop off and taken all the chickens. We spent Saturday getting over the shock and Nick repaired the damage, strengthened the coop and bought new chickens. Apparently you just have to get over it and get on with it out here. Good thing we didn’t name the chickens or it might have been a bit more personal.
Unfortunately all the chickens had just settled and started to lay regularly so we are back to square one with frightened layers who will take a couple of weeks to settle into a routine. So no eggs!
The good news, cheer yourself up with food. I found some great quality barramundi ….
Fish and Zucchini Chips
Finely slice 1 ½ zucchini per person and lay in a single layer onto a sheet of baking paper on an oven tray (you’ll need a couple. Sprinkle lightly with salt and bake in a hot oven 200c till golden brown and crisp.
Mean while lightly coat the fish in a little seasoned flour and pan frie in a little oil.
Serve the chips with the fish and a dollop of Aioli, a slice of lemon and maybe a salad. We had some fresh snow peas. Its tasty and is a much healthier choice than fries.
Love
Mary
