Not that this awkwardness can't be occasionally successful: on Hejira, she clung so resolutely to even the stray flat notes that the impression was an attractive one of stubbornness and strength. ![]() Since Blue, Mitchell has demonstrated an increasing fondness for formats that don't suit her. The best that can be said for Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is that it is an instructive failure. But, always, the unpredictable caliber of her work has been as exciting as it is frustrating. She has dabbled with jazz and African tribal music, ventured deep inside herself and fled far away. From that happy juncture, she has moved on to more graceful and sober self-scrutiny ( For the Roses and Court and Spark), to dramatic musical experimentation mixed with failed social commentary ( The Hissing of Summer Lawns), to ever-more-seductive singing ( Miles of Aisles) and to rambling, hypnotic flights of fancy ( Hejira). He has a Masters of Science in Computer Engineering from UC Davis, and a Music Technology degree from Foothill College.In retrospect, Blue turns out to have been the album that displayed Joni Mitchell at her most buoyant and comfortable - with herself, with the nature of her talents, and with the conventions of pop songwriting.

The traditional wire grates work just fine, but the cast iron takes it over the top. I prefer to use the cast iron grates as they heat up nicely and leave distinctive sear marks. This is a simple direct heat recipe.Ĭast Iron Grill Grate. Just make sure to turn on all the burners to bring it up to temperature.

We decided to stick to a basic herb rub to enhance the flavor. Total time for this meal is under 30 minutes - that's what I call summer cooking! Made this recipe? Tag me on Instagram and hashtag it #thekiwicountrygirl.Grilling lamb chops isn’t the first thing most people think of when they are asking friends over for a cookout, but it should be! These rich little tender pieces of meat have so much flavor all on their own, you really don’t need to go overboard with dressing them up. This is really important for all meat as it helps the meat lose less juice when you cut into it and therefore makes it juicier and tastier when you do eat it! ![]() Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.This way they are medium rare when cooked which is just how we like them. I like cooking them for about 5 minutes on either side over a medium heat in a cast iron grill pan. Cook them in a really hot pan or on the BBQ.I find that trimming this first and leaving about 5mm of fat helps them cook faster but still retains that delicious flavour. Sometimes the chops we get from the farm have a really thick layer of fat on them. If you have time, you can do this in advance but you can do it immediately before cooking. A bit of olive oil, a couple of cloves of garlic and some balsamic vinegar then coat the chops. Use whatever fresh herbs you have in the garden - I like using mint and rosemary.

Most of you get meat from the farm which is awesome - we do too! Because of that, I'll be sharing more recipes and ideas for things like mince, sausages and chops - all the things that we end up with lots of when we get meat from the farm! I asked on my instagram stories the other day how many of you buy your meat fresh from the supermarket. It's more of a new way to cook something simple, which if you are anything like me is always welcome! This is another one of those "is it really a recipe?" recipes. I can eat like this every night in summer, especially when we are alternating between grilled zucchini and beans from the garden or freshly picked tomatoes and peppers! maybe some corn on the cob and whatever meat you have taken out of the freezer thrown on the BBQ. It's that great time of year where dinner involves a simple salad, new potatoes. Perfect for summer, these grilled garlic and herb coated lamb (or mutton) chops are fast and simple to prepare and cook! ![]() ![]() ![]() I used to use clear Maxima before I switched to the Amnesia. I like Maxima Chameleon too, but it can be hard to see when you’re viewing the brown line against trees that are essentially the same color. It’s easy to work with, and if you give it a quick stretch, any curl comes right out. My favorite butt section material is clear Amnesia. And yes, as you’ll see below, some build a taper into this section. The euro rigs / mono rigs we use have long butt sections that essentially replace traditional fly line - we’re often holding the butt section with the line hand. We’re focused on the long section before the taper, before any sighter or tippet section. Remember, we’re only talking about the butt section here, not the full leader. You either get used to it (and watch the sighter or other colors built into a taper), or you choose a hi-vis butt section. If you grew up fly fishing with a visible fly line, like most of us, then taking away that visibility and tracking might seem like a handicap. Visibility - Lastly, seeing the line is important to some anglers. Most often, stiffer lines coil more, but not always. All of these lines should be stretched at the beginning of the day, and once they are, some lines have more memory than others. It’s tough to make extra-limp lines perform the same way, given equal diameters.Ĭoiling / Handling - We don’t want the mono to coil as it comes off the reel. A stiff butt section material allows a thinner line to cast more like a fly line. Stiffness - the stiffness of the line also relates to its casting performance. Without some mass to the butt section, you end up lobbing and not casting much. Make sense? The limit seems to be around 14# or 12#, depending on casting stroke, material, and angler determination. But you can’t cast 8# nylon that way because it’s too light. With a good, tight form, you can cast a 20# butt section with no flies or weight attached, much like a fly line. However, you should understand that the mass of a line is what allows us to cast these rigs with fly-line-style casting. Weight - Sag equals drag, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to avoid here. Here are a few generalizations about why different anglers choose what they do. You can read a lot more about why it suits me in these other Troutbitten articles about the Mono Rig.īut I’d rather tell you what the other guys shared with me. Since I use the Mono Rig for both tight line and indicator nymphing, since I also use it for streamers, wets and the occasional dry fly, I’ve settled on a butt section that handles all of those situations. “I mustache you a question.” Man-selfie by Pat Burke.įirst, a summary of my own findings. Although he did give me this picture of him to boost his credibility. Some of these guys will chuckle at the term expert, and I use the word liberally here for a guy like Burke. In conversation with the best fishermen I know, it’s one of my favorite questions: What is your preferred butt section material for the long leader stuff?īelow, I’ve condensed the replies from a host of experts who inhabit various corners of the industry. Because the truth is, I keep coming back to one leader material that works well for me. ![]() Through the years I bought nylon, fluorocarbon, braided lines, running lines and more, in all brands, in all colors, and at every price range. ![]() I found a mad-scientist’s joy in altering leader formulas and materials. When I started ditching fly line, around the turn of the century (that’s fun to say) I followed the aforementioned process: I asked a lot of questions, got a lot of answers, then went off and did my own thing. READ: The Mono Rig and Why Fly Line Sucks | Troutbitten READ: What is Euro Nymphing? And what is the Mono Rig? | Troutbitten And many of us fish a variation called a Mono Rig. The system is known as a euro rig, tight line rig or long-ass leader. If you’re not familiar, then know this: there’s a rogue faction of fly fishers out there who’ve decided that employing fly line is not always the best way to present a fly. It seems that every good angler does something a little different with their leader, and everyone has a good reason why. This leads me to the topic of long leader butt sections, both the material and design. Sure, in some ways it’s all been done before, but not quite in the way that you do it, right? We’re at our best when we modify ideas and build on the creations of others, when we’re testing and developing with an open mind and adventurous spirit. Truth be told, some of the best innovations come from our unique brand of intemperate independence. We ask questions, get answers, then go off and do our own thing anyway. ![]() ![]() ![]() And if you're unsure of how to create a strong password, a good password manager will always include a strong password generator feature that will create them for you.

It's virtually impossible to remember each individual complex password that you should be creating for each account, which means you need another mechanism to keep track of them all. NordPass estimates that the average internet user has between 70 and 80 passwords. Keep in mind that, by their nature, password managers are extremely attractive targets for cybercriminals, so it's important that you choose one with a track record for security and transparency. This means that once you've entered your passwords into the password manager on one device, they'll automatically show up on all your other devices on which you've installed the app - whether you're using Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android or a browser extension. The best password managers are cross-platform-compatible and can automatically sync your entire vault across all of your devices. Password manager services usually offer user-friendly web interfaces, apps or browser extensions where you can access your encrypted vault using your master password.
