Success! Steam Whistle battered Sole.

Well, the Steam Whistle battered Sole was a success. Not only did this taste like pub style fish and chips, but it was so simple, I clubbed a baby seal while making it.

I have also come to the realization that "Steam Whistle Pilsner Battered Goujons of Sole with pomme allumettes in a paper cone" is a douche bags way of saying "fish and chips thrown on the classified section".

I recommend cooking this in a not stick, deep pan. I used stainless steel and struggled with a bit of sticking on the bottom.

Overall this turned out very well. I will do it again. I added some Dill and salt, but really, you can throw anything you want and it should work. Also, this batter can be used for anything, I searched for a Snickers bar to deep fry but could not find one.

In the future you can look for: Deep Fry :: Battering the world one object at a time

Steam Whistle :: Great website for a Great Beer

I thought I would give a shout out, to Steam Whistle Brewing Company.

I have some defrosted Sole at home, and didn’t know what to do with it. I guess I could have just thrown it in a pan with some butter and chives, maybe some lemon, and have a boring dinner, with a boring beer.

Instead, I decided to see if I could find a recipe that would add a bit of excitement to an otherwise snoozer of a meal. After about a minute of Googling, I came across this recipe.

Steam Whistle Pilsner Battered Goujons of Sole with pomme allumettes in a paper cone

Ok, I don't know about Goujons, pomme allumettes, or a paper cone for that matter, all I know is, I am battering my damn fish with Steam Whistle. I will giver a try this evening and report back tomorrow. Really, what could go wrong? Steam Whistle battered food, with a Steam Whistle in a frosty glass.

Now, I want to let Steam Whistle know that they have a Great Beer, that goes very well with a Great website. The Steam Whistle website showcases ease of use, nice multimedia content (ringtones, wallpapers, pictures, and virtual tours) as well as good reading, that makes you feel better about yourself, much like drinking Steam Whistle.

I myself would like to raise a bottle, to a Great Beer, with a Great website.

Tiger bawling like a little cub

Here is a video of Tiger's putt on the 18th, winning him his 11th major, the 2006 British Open. The video more shows him crying like a little Tiger cub, on the shoulder of his caddy, Steve Williams. Watch the video right to the end, he actually kisses his wife first! Unlike last British Open, where he kissed his mom first.

You know, I cry like this everytime I am on the course. Like yesterday, when I shot a 104.

APACHE!

You know, I always thought this song was called "Tonto", because of the "Tonto! Jump on it! Jump on it!" bit.

Who would have thought the music video is better than the song?

The Birth of PORTA-POTTY SPLASHBACK

Hello. Welcome to my blog, I am Tim Rayburn,
and you are not.

Let me start this all off with how I came up
with the name of this blog.

Nine years ago, when I was just a young lad of
seventeen, I was in a youth employment program
run by the province of Ontario. I would get
paid by my boss($8.00 an hour) who then would
be fully reimbursed by the province. So as you
can imagine, in my boss's eyes, I was slave
labour.

I had a summer job here in Ottawa as an
interior and exterior painter. I had already
been on a few job sites, and was getting the
hang of professional painting, and learning
lots, mostly how to preserve paint.

My boss (who I will leave unnamed unless it is
requested) always insisted that we carry two
items with us. A rag, for paint wiping
purposes, and a putty knife, for paint scraping
purposes. I kept one tool in one back pocket,
and the other tool in the other back pocket.

We were painting the interior of a nice house
in Manotick. I had been drinking the night
before and had what is commonly know as Beer Shits.
Unfortunately, there were no working bathrooms
in this place, so I had to run to the Port-
Potty on the front lawn. So I get in this green
box and really, its not that bad. If I was to
rate this Porta-Potty with the others I have
been in, I would give it a 5 out of 10, it even
had a urinal/Barf Bin, whichever you prefer.

So I dropped trow and took a well placed seat.
There was not much negotiating time, like I
said, I had a few too many pops the night
before, and things were happening very quickly.

Then it happened, right in the middle of all
this fun, I get, you guessed it, Porta-Potty
Splashback. I was devastated. Within one second
of the incident, I freaked. Imagination running
wild, I could not comprehend what just
happened, and what the consequences were. So,
in this time of total disarray, I did what I
think anybody would do, and whipped up my pants
at an incredible rate. Well, I forgot
something. I forgot about the putty knife in my
back pocket. For when I pulled my pants up, it
sliced a two inch long gash, right on my ass.

So, within a 1.5 second time frame, not only
did I get Porta-Potty Splashback, but I also
cut my ass with a putty knife. Not only is this
the worst bathroom experience ever, but it could
be one of my worst life experiences to date.

I could not decide on the name for this blog:

Porta-Potty Splashback
or
Cut My Ass With A Putty Knife

And so, I chose the greater of two evils, and
Porta-Potty Splashback was born.
