Fresh...Rabbit Paella

My Dad makes a mean Paella, but like all great men he would be lost without his wife, my Mum, who provided the finest ingredients; Scallops, Prawns, Chicken, Chorizo, Saffron. However, after a day out in the country at a friends house I thought I would add an important ingredient to the traditional Spanish Paella... Rabbit!

Earlier in the day I caught a 10pound Carp, feeling lucky, I thought I would try and hunt for a Rabbit in the evening. It was an equally as successful trip and I bagged myself a Rabbit for the dish. I obviously am clueless about preparing a Rabbit so left that to my good friend Archie to show me the ropes and then I delivered it to my mother the very next day, with a big grin on my face!

FRESH Thai Green Fish Curry and Sweet and Sour fried fish

Boxing day usually consists of a hangover, a bloated stomach and a cold turkey buffet... Not this year! This year I visited Phi Phi Island, Thailand, for the Christmas break. On Boxing Day we hired a fishing boat in the morning, with the aim to catch our lunch.
After a successful catch of a few snappers and what I think was a Pompamo or Permit, we returned to a little shack where the fish was transformed into the most amazing Thai Green Curry with lots of fresh Basil and a Sweet and Sour with Tomatoes and Bell Pepper. Overall it was a fantastic experience.
