09/10/2016 - If there's one thing I love, it's a green tomato and if I ever see them for sale, I buy them.

One of the most memorable things I've ever eaten was a pretty basic salad of green tomatoes, in Majorca in 2003. It's making my mouth water, just thinking about it..

They're a very good example of how supermarkets lead to restricted options, because you'll never see anything but very ripe ones for sale there. This picture was taken at the now-defunct Torrens Market, which was a proper 20-eggplants-for-$8 market, rather than $25-for-a-macaroon market.

Took a couple of photos at the nearby Garden Island Dolphin Sanctuary the same morning, which I've tagged onto this post.

3/10/206 - I'd made some gremolata. Delicious.

It's a nice pic. It made me think, "Must make some gremolata!"

I reckon these close-up food pics were taken on my Canon DSLR, rather than the crappy phone camera.

03/10/16 - One of the nice things about living where I live is running along the foreshore. In fact, I have run up and down its length so often that I completely take it for granted.

One of the things that I like most about it is when you can see a weather front coming in across the ocean. That's what's happening in this pic.

There'll be a lot of this type of photo as we go along, I expect.

3/10/16 - A screenshot of a recent drunk online purchase. You can't beat a good shopping bag.

Looking back, after something like six years' sobriety, it's quite shocking to see how central alcohol was to my life.

As it turned out, these bags were pretty crappy.

02/10/16 - The final post from what was a busy Sunday, shows the post-post punk band Belgrado from Barcelona, playing at The Metro in Adelaide. (I had to consult a friend with more memory than me to recall the name, to be honest).

I do remember that they were quite good, and the singer's blonde bob swished about quite magnificently.

These posts from, like nine years ago, also show how far phone cameras have come in that time.

02/10/16 - Op shop dig from yesterday. Interesting version of In The Year 2525. #cratedigging👌👌

I used to take chances on op-shop records like this, until experience taught me that it's rarely worth it and I might as well save my money. I rarely even look at op shop records any more.

Nothing much funky at all about this LP and I reckon I'm having to dig deep (no pun intended) to say something positive about it at the time. Suffice to say, it's not been out of its sleeve since this picture was taken.

02/10/16 - The first IG post I ever made was a shot of some Cumbia 7" singles. ('Fat stack of cumbia ready to be spun this afternoon #disocfuenteslabel')

I was planning to spin them at a local BYO vinyl afternoon session. I'd bought a handful of singles from someone in Venezuela (I think), and they were all fantastic.

I'd got into Cumbia in the eighties, when I'd been walking through Camden Market and heard the tune off the coffee advert (La Colegiala), and picked up a Discos Fuentes compilation tape as a result.

Years later, on the radio show, we used to play a lot of the electronic stuff, including that made by Melbourne's Cumbia Cosmonauts and we had a fantastic afternoon at one of their parties once. Never really understood why Cumbia doesn't have the reach of, say, Ska, in the anglosphere - not being sung in English, I suppose.
