Perhaps it was just a name used at that particular restaurant in Cairns and the oysters came from a "shelf", being a sea shelf somewhere out from Cairns.<BR/><BR/>The only oysters I know of here...are the "Black Lips", which are a very large oyster, preferrably more palatable cooked...such as in curries, batter, crumbed etc.<BR/><BR/>Then there is the "Milky" which is a smaller, "creamier" oyster.<BR/><BR/>The Sydney Rock Oysters and the Tasmanian Oysters are another two.<BR/><BR/>And there are the Coffin Bay oysters, but I've never heard the term "shelf oysters" used in all my years in the hospitality industry and restaurants.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing your pictures once you get your new camera. Thanks for your comment, Marc. :)<BR/><BR/>Then, of course there are the pearl oysters.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-46871561306047887012007-03-29T19:55:00.000-07:002007-03-29T19:55:00.000-07:00Mushey peas, Bleeagh!

If you ever get up here to Houston, I'll treat you to Repkas. Don't tell the LST'ers tho, they will take over the place. <BR/><BR/>Lee, when we were at Carins, we had "shelf oysters" and I was instantly addicted. Tell me about them if you can. They have a completely different flavor that I love.<BR/><BR/>I am going to buy a new camera soon. I am happy with my film camera, but the scanned negatives lack the resolution I need. I will buy a 10+ Mpx one soon. Yhen I will start my blog up again.<BR/><BR/>Bed time now. <BR/><BR/>As Stormy says, sand man is beating me to death.

I've talked/written myself into making some! ;) And as for the pies, I bought a frozen pack of four meat pies to keep in my freezer for when the desire for one hits!

I was smart for once! ;)<BR/><BR/>I think I'll buy some sars when I'm out today, too, Merle. I usually keep a bottle or two in the cupboard. Glad you're enjoying the story. :)<BR/><BR/>I read about your last few days in your blog, Cliff. It's very frustrating isn't when things go wrong with the Net and/or computers. You understand my panic about the dogs...with my being responsible for them made it 100% worse. They were under my care and I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to them!<BR/><BR/>Hi Lindsay...no...the staff were all locals, no transients. The Central has no ladies' lounge. I doubt if the other two pubs in town have either. Women joined the men in the public bars as is allowed everywhere these days. The clientele over all were a pretty good mob. I was at the pub in Oct/Nov, 1989.<BR/><BR/>You're right, Lindsay...I didn't stand for or take any nonsense... I never do! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-31795238999965051542007-03-29T07:19:00.000-07:002007-03-29T07:19:00.000-07:00A fascinating tale so far of your life evolving ar...A fascinating tale so far of your life evolving around that Pub. You have dispelled the image of men only (perhaps a decade before in the late sixties?)shoulder to shoulder drinking in the public bar, with copious quantities of beer spilling on the floor but barely visible through the bluish shrouds of smoke; with women consigned to the "ladies' lounge". <BR/><BR/>As you describe the patrons a mixed bag, some rough but nice who seem to treat “missy” like the lady she is. Presumably you also did not stand for any nonsense! Presumably some of the staff were itinerant workers or were they mostly locals you managed. <BR/><BR/>You have captured a certain mood of that time, one that will not be repeated. <BR/><BR/>Hence these are simple stories about happenings to keep as treasured reading for the future. <BR/><BR/>best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-16216049354671618322007-03-29T04:03:00.000-07:002007-03-29T04:03:00.000-07:00I'm back.

The good news is that I couldn't sleep and got up to catch up on your 'novel'. <BR/>I read every word and found my self all keyed up trying to help find a couple of dogs. I think I was affected by the fact that we've run a boarding kennel here on the farm for over thirty years and a 'lost' dog would be a no-no and something we've always guarded against.<BR/>You've given us a good look inside of the little town. I shall wait with patience for the end. Well done. <BR/>Sorry I've been absent, a funeral and 3 days without internet got me behind.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676389902079486865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-57543728474966643272007-03-29T02:36:00.000-07:002007-03-29T02:36:00.000-07:00Hi Lee ~~ Have enjoyed your story and just read th...Hi Lee ~~ Have enjoyed your story and just read the last 2 chapters.

I wish I had attended one but it was more sensible for me not to go to that one in Normanton, as I knew it would be a very late night and I just had too much work on my plate the next day.
