Patreon newsletter #2 (Patreon)

Dear Do Go PatreOn’ers!

Another week, another mini newsletter with Dave.

How are you all? I say ALL because you’ve grown to 48 members. I’ve got to say we are truly amazed.

We are already over 80% of our way to our next goal of filming a video pod. I hope when you see me in the video that I don’t disappoint that guy that wrote in to say I sound like a tall Aussie surfer dude when in fact I am a 52 kilogram* Festive Boy ™ who once tried surfing and vowed never again – too bloody cold and too much chance of drowning and or being attacked by a shark.

I also tried snow boarding as part of a school excursion** at 14 and I couldn’t work out how to slow down. So legit every 10 metres I had to fall over on my ass just to stop reaching terminal velocity. We had unlimited runs down the mountain, but I made it to the bottom once and then got in the chair lift back to the top and went straight to the café to drink a hot chocolate and similarly vowed to never try it again.

I uploaded a photo earlier in the week indicating that our very good friend Nick Mason (from the Weekly Planet podcast) is a guest on the show next week, returning after successful appearances on our Marvel and Elvis Presley episodes.

TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT

It was pointed out by Matt that some of you don’t like to know next week’s topic in advance, so skip over the next paragraph is that is you…



Nick Mason took the reigns to do the report, and for the first time ever Matt, Jess and I were all there. Four MCs rock’n the mic. It was a bloody ripper of an episode. We invited Maso to do a report on something comic based and he chose the topic of… Superman. We talk about Superman over time, how the creators battled to get recognition and Superman superfan Nicolas Cage.





END OF TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT

… Ok you can start reading again if you skipped over the topic announcement. 

I’m off to finish baking some eggs. Apart from Nachos it’s the only thing that I can cook (possibly explaining why I weight 52kg).

As a little bonus here is how I bake my eggs.

You will need:

2 x eggs.
Half a can of baked beans.
Blue cheese.
Bread.
1 x Avocado.

Method:

1. Fill a small ramekin or bowl with half a can of baked beans and then microwave on High*** for one minute.

2. Crack two eggs on top of the ramekin and cover with a lid. If using a bowl, cover with foil.

3. Bake at 150 degrees Celsius**** for 15 minutes.

4. Remove from oven, and remove lid or foil. Cut chunks of blue cheese and place over the top of the eggs.

5. Put the ramekin back in the over without the lid and toast some toast.

6. When the toast pops, get the eggs out of the oven, serve with half an avocado and enjoy! The most important part is ENJOY. I cannot overstate this step.


And there you go. Dave’s Festive Boy ™ Blue Cheese Baked Eggs…(NOTE: I spent too long writing this recipe and I burnt the eggs…Shit).

Thanks again for your support.

Do Go (Patre) On!
