Scallops, Prawns and Squid. Plus Bach's Solo Violin Works

Fresh scallops, prawns and squid. Marinated for a few hours in fresh ginger and spring onions. Cooked in a wok for a few minutes with black pepper and a little oil. Dash with a little soy sauce. Excellent meal on a bed of rice. Quite delicious.

I discovered recently that I have complete recorded sets of the Bach sonatas and partitas for solo violin by: James Ehnes, George Enescu, Devy Erlih, Christian Ferras, Julia Fischer, Bronislaw Gimpel, Arthur Grumiaux, Jascha Heifetz, Alina Ibragimova, Oleg Kagan, Sigiswald Kuijken (x2), Johanna Martzy, Yehudi Menuhin, Nathan Milstein (x2), Ruggiero Ricci, Benjamin Schmid, Oscar Shumsky, Lara St. John, and Emil Telmanyi. 21 different sets! Which is ridiculous. The grand purge will begin very shortly. Left will be Heifetz, Ibragimova, St. John, Shumsky, Milstein (DG) and maybe one other. Until another interesting set appears ...
