SIMON’S YABBY PIZZA
Being of Italian descent I was introduced to Nonna’s homemade pizza as a young child, and to say it has become one of my favourite meals would be an understatement! Decades on we are still making pizza from scratch at home – now with my own children. Pizza night is a weekly event everyone looks forward to.
If you don’t have a mixer such as a Kenwood at home or simply don’t have the time to make your own pizza base, you can use good quality yiros bread or buy pizza bases from your local supermarket to speed up the preparation time.
Ingredients
Pizza base (makes 2 x 12 inch bases)
7gm packet of dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
450gms of baker’s flour
250ml warm water
2 teaspoons salt
Toppings
6 tablespoons of passata
Shredded mozzarella & tasty cheese
4 cloves of garlic
Olive oil
Small handful of fresh coriander
20-24 cooked & peeled yabby tails (depending on size)
Method
Pour warm water into the bowl of the mixer and ensure the dough hook is attached. Add olive oil, flour, yeast and salt. Turn the mixer to speed one and leave to mix for five minutes. Turn off the mixer, spray the sides of the bowl and the top of the dough with a canola oil spray or similar. Cover the bowl with cling wrap then a tea towel. Leave the bowl in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size. Sprinkle a generous amount of semolina or flour onto a clean bench. Remove dough from bowl and break into two even balls. Punch down and knead by hand for about a minute or so. Use a rolling pin to roll out evenly to suit desired thickness/size of pizza tray.
Carefully place base on a lightly oiled pizza tray. Cover evenly with a thin layer of passata. Lightly sprinkle the shredded cheeses over the pizza base. Put the cooked yabby tails in a bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Finely chop coriander and garlic and throw into bowl with yabby tails and give a good mix so the tails get an even coating of coriander, oil & garlic. Evenly arrange yabby tails on pizza. Sprinkle more cheese evenly over pizza. Place pizza into a pre-heated oven set at 200c for 20 minutes. Check pizza after 10 minutes of cooking to ensure it is not sticking to the tray. Remove pizza when cooked to your satisfaction and cut into 8 slices. Grab you favourite beverage and enjoy with up to four people!

A Country Weekend
Two hours north of Sydney, 4 km along a dirt road, having passed through two gates and three creek crossings, to reach a country cottage for the weekend.
The soundtrack accompanying our conversation is only birdsong, the stridulation of insects, and the belches of frogs as sunset leaves us in the blue hour, waiting for the star show.
Our hosts Simon and Gemma with Julie and Gary the photographer, shared a prawn and mango salad, for our first evening meal.
The rest of the weekend party included David and Kimberley.
Simon is thoughtful in conversation in this portrait on the new deck..
The dam on the small property, here pictured in the golden dawn light, is surrounded by ironbarks, ranging from saplings to mature trees.
As an aquaculture experiment, Kimberley has seeded the dam with fingerling yabbies, but there is some concern about the resident Eastern Long Necked Tortoises. Will they devour the yabbies? David casts in a yabbie trap. It will need to be checked every couple of hours for tortoises. There were three caught and rehoused in a nicely flowing creek 300 metres away.
Planted within the past three years in the midst of drought, these bottle brushes have done well.
The evening light on the lichen-covered igneous rocks, the substrate around here.
Going on a bear hunt? Going to catch a big one? No - we are off to check a lawnmower!
Yes, it's a stationary lawnmower fifty metres downhill, and it needs rescuing. Looks like a three-person push effort and a new main drive belt when it gets to the garage.
It might take a millennium for lichens, water wind, and the action of tree roots, and wombats to reduce these natural monuments to sand.

Looks like I never properly posted about this but here's the LP where a lot of my I Was a Teenage Exocolonist screenshots are from! Yabby's playthrough is a lot of fun and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're curious about the game, or if you're interested in revisiting it and looking for stuff you might have missed.

Watching a video of some american blokes cave spelunking and they've described a medium sized spider as "HUGE" and a small sized lobster as "HUGE" and I have questions because from the impression I got of your mdcolands meal sizes, its the opposite??
