    Just a once off I think it’s ok and the fish certainly counts. Do tell how will you cook the barramundi?

    Hopefully it won’t take as long as 2 weeks for all the checks to be done so you can start sooner and at least stabilise your income a little sooner rather than later.

      Took a photo of dinner for ya. Not bad if I say so myself - my attempt at jerk seasoning tasted great on its own though maybe not so much after cooking

        Very nice, looks delicious!

        What’s this jerk seasoning you were using? What is it supposed to taste like?

          It’s a carribean spice blend, you can buy it pre made but I made a rough and dirty approximation of it with the spices I have. It’s spicy but also smoky with a sweet undertone and I added lemon juice for more of a kick. Has a diverse range of flavours - thyme, chili pepper, allspice, cinnamon, garlic and onion powder - lots going on.

      Yeah I’m hoping there isn’t a medical (HR said there was at the interview but when I got the call from the hiring manager there wasn’t anything). That will be the slow part.

      Unlikely I’ll get to start next week with Mon being a PH. I was hoping to set my work days as Mon and Tues anyway. Good news is some of the pre employment check links just came through so I can get those sorted out right away.

      E: also re fish I’m thinking I’ll try a Jamaican jerk rub, and a side of tomato rice. Either that or steamed with hunan chillies, and a side of shiitake rice
