continuing tradition of a two course lunch special (see page

Wings Over the Illawarra takes off

The theme for this year’s Wings over the

Illawarra Air Show is the Centenary of Military

Aviation. As such, it has attracted an impress-

ive range of old and new military aircraft,

including A-18 Hornets, a Spitfire and Hudson

from Temora, a P51 Mustang, a P40 Kittyhawk,

a T-6 Texan, a Sabre and more.

As I was reading this list out to Steve, he kept

saying ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’, so I don’t think we’ll

be seeing him at the Café that day.

The day will feature a wide range of activities

and displays, including an air show of aerobatic,

historic, modern and military aircraft along with

defence force exhibits, freestyle motocross

displays, classic cars and bikes, amusement

rides, merchandise and food stalls.

Wings over the Illawarra is the only major air

show in NSW and has reached a stage in its

growth that means it is being promoted heavily

in Sydney. It could be wise to pre-purchase your

tickets online and travel by train as this event

is set to attract over 20,000 spectators.

Funds raised will support various charities

helping the disadvantage youth of the Illawarra.

Chasing the big fish

Bad weather

forced the

postponement

of the Blowhole

Big Fish Tourna-

ment to the

end of May.

The Big Fish

offers over

$25,000 in

prizes and

attracts up to

50 boats each

year.

Tuna and marlin are the main targets. Their

families must really like eating fish...

Details: Watch out for the action around the

Harbour on the last weekend in May.

Calling all Celts!

The 2011 Census figures for Kiama show that

over 20 per cent of us identify our ancestors

as coming from Scotland and Ireland (and with

another 30% nominating Australia, the numbers

are probably higher!).

So Berry’s Celtic Festival might be worth a visit

if you want to celebrate your heritage.

Commencing with a pipes parade through Berry,

the Festival then centres on the Showground.

There will be more pipes, string ensembles,

dancing and singing performances of Scottish,

Irish, Welsh, Galician and Australian heritage

origins, and demonstrations of physical prowess

by the wonderfully named Tartan Warriors.

Other activities include the annual raffle of

a magnificent Celtic quilt made by the Nowra

Quilters, a Cornish pasty competition, wander-

ing minstrels and clan stalls.

Details: 24 May, from 9.30am

Adults $10, children $5, family of 4 $20

Recipe of the month

A number of you have complained about the

lack of recipes in recent editions (there has

just been so much else to fit in!), so I’m giving

you a beauty. It is one we have been making

to sell at the Farmers’ Market, using seasonal

fruit bought there. A cake with substance!

Upside-down Cake Line base of 22cm tin with baking paper,

spray or grease sides, and sprinkle 1/4 cup

brown sugar evenly over base. Arrange cut fruit

decoratively on top of the sugar as this will be

the top of the cake. Any fruit will do!

Beat 150g butter, 1 cup caster sugar and

1 tspn vanilla on high for 4 to 5 minutes til

pale and creamy. Add 3 eggs, one at a time,

beating after each addition.

Using a large spoon, mix in 1/2 cup almond

meal and 1 1/2 cups SR flour. Do not overmix.

Spoon over fruit and smooth surface.

Bake at 180C for 50 minutes or until cooked.

Run knife around the edge of the tin to ensure

it doesn’t stick on the way out. Peel off paper,

admire your pattern, and dig in!
