I have shared his boofhead chronicles with my most literate son, who will enjoy it but officially sneer at it. <br /><br />They all remember Dermott. I have also shared with the son who just left school, and who can barely read. He will enjoy the pictures anyway...while mother and father gently weep in the background. He remembers Dermott best though.<br /><br />The only fleeting recent sightings of you were a very short U-tube of either a woman teaching water colours or a skilful sneaky cleavage/boobshot, the latter interpretation probably just me because I'm not that interested in painting; and a vague reference to a war memorial in Southern Italy, which may or may not have been you and I lost almost as soon as I found it.<br /><br />The search continues....your cunningly difficult surname may betray you if I manage to spell it correctly. If not, which is quite possible, you are safe unless you take the initiative by return, using your mod powers. <br /><br />I shall give up soon - I started a Facebook page, which I regretted almost immediately because it takes up so much time in an inane, chaotic sort of way which I hardly understand. It gives me anxiety attacks with its constant prompts and people sending me spam, and leaves little time for anything else, like finding finbar.<br /><br />I found the remains of the tomato plant you left here today - sadly it didn't survive the tenants. Nothing much did. These are the things though, like this blog, that prompt me to reach out to you.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Horsie<br /><br />P.S. I am developing my own little blog which is pitiful by comparison at its early stages but I have hope it will improve as I get in my stride - A H Rides Again.You can stalk me back there if you wish.Alexander's Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603011195649850429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153497785545721033.post-92078918498449118832009-02-07T08:08:00.000+01:002009-02-07T08:08:00.000+01:00Jil, nut seems to be the operative word in the exp...Jil, <B>nut</B> seems to be the operative word in the expression South Beach Nut.

Was the message passed on? <BR/><BR/>Jil - warn your husband that coming back as me would have its disadvantages in terms of dribbling and the more-than-occasional public fart.<BR/><BR/>What is a South Beach nut? South of where?<BR/><BR/>In terms of the Tuna Patties, you can easily shallow-fry them. You would need at least an inch of oil in the pan otherwise only the top and bottom of the patties would cook, leaving the sides uncooked and a different colour. <BR/><BR/>Get the oil hot enough to seal the outsides but not so hot as to burn them. Seal one side, then turn them over and seal the other. Then keep turning them every minute or so to ensure even cooking.<BR/><BR/>Everything inside that needs cooking is already cooked anyway, so what you're really doing is crisping and heating them through. Shouldn't take more than five or six minutes. If you've got more patties than you can fit into the pan at once, cook in batches - without ever overcrowding the pan - while putting the cooked ones into a warm oven while you do the rest.Dermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293641722070313984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153497785545721033.post-84595073766731408242009-02-05T19:52:00.000+01:002009-02-05T19:52:00.000+01:00My husband wants to come back as you Dermott...he ...My husband wants to come back as you Dermott...he would kill to have these tuna paties...if only i was not a south beach nut...is there hope for me yet????? ok i don't have a deep fryer...but i could try it anyway...JilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153497785545721033.post-71844523565255007352009-01-11T18:07:00.000+01:002009-01-11T18:07:00.000+01:00Paddy is unfortunately very busy watching behind ...Paddy is unfortunately very busy watching behind the plant pots in the garden - looking for more mice to juggle.<BR/><BR/>Your message will be passsed on when he deigns to come in.<BR/><BR/>signed<BR/>the staffvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153497785545721033.post-61200981662985481022009-01-03T08:26:00.000+01:002009-01-03T08:26:00.000+01:00vivien - what am I?
