Fair Exchange



 Our neighbour brought over a couple of large fish from his fishing trip the other day.  Husband M fortunately knows how to clean and gut them.  Other friends thought they might be freshwater drum fish.  I ended up baking them whole in the oven.

 Daughter L decided to bake chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing as pictured for his small grandchildren.  They were so excited.  

Fair exchange do you think?

And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

  18. I could gut a fish if I had to, might be retching a bit while doing it but we would still be able to eat the fish
