Friends from Afar

We have just had a great week with Larry and Joanne visiting from the US.  They taught school here over 30 years ago and came back to Australia to catch up with old friends and to kick start their retirement.

Poor Larry.  Unfortunately for him we all remembered that he made wonderful Beef Jerky.  I, like others, had been trying to find the equivalent in Australia with no success.  So having him live in the house enabled us to extract the secrets.  We made a couple of batches and I now am able to do my own. 

He did the same for Tim and Rhondda and is doing it again for the other family they are visiting. They are going to be a bit over Beef Jerky by the time they leave Australia.
