Hardcore, Bigtop and Co. have introduced up to a range of unfamiliar routes in the past, and they did so again this week. This was an area with an interesting history. 7th Brigade Park formed only part of the Chermside Camp during WWII; the military camp also covered Marchant Park and some of the surrounding streets. In fact our trail on Sunday extended only a little way outside the old camp perimeter. Follow this link for some historic pictures and stories!
A halfway drink stop was much appreciated - and we have to apologise to our hares for the amount of shortcutting that went on. The heat must have affected our brains....Many thanks to Bigtop for a triffic meal - we loved it! (We must get the recipe.)
In the meantime, here's Charcoal's recipe for
German Meatloaf (Hackbraten auf spezielle Art)
Ingredients for 4 people
- 750 g mince,
- 2 stale bread rolls, softened in water, squeezed out and crumbled – Charcoal usually uses about 4 slices of stale bread,
- 125 g of dried fruit e.g. apricots , apple rings or pears, soaked and cut up small,
- 2 tablespoons of chopped up parsley
- 1 onion chopped up fine
- 2 eggs
- Some salt and pepper
- You can add marjoram – Charcoal didn't for last week's Hash run
Preparation
- Mix everything together and put in a rectangular cake tin – Charcoal lines it with baking paper to make it easier to remove the meatloaf from the tin.
- Preheat the oven to about 220 degrees C and bake for an hour. If Charcoal makes several, he rotates the tins about.
You can use the same recipe for rissoles, but it saves time making meatloaves.
When: Sunday 23rd November, 5 pm
Where: Bunya Riverside Reserve, end of Dugandan Road, Bunya. A map!
Hares: Miss Demeanour, Shockjock and Co.
