ALBANY WHALE TOURS
NEW FORMAT, MORE TO READ, SAME FUN! Welcome to the new look Café Capers! While the original design proved immensely popular, we decided to make it even better and flip it on its side. This makes the paper much easier to handle when you are enjoying a meal at a small table - or sitting rather close to someone who might want to read it with you. The content remains fun, friendly and informative - we go whale watching with John Woodbury , celebrate the 15th anniversary of Safety in Numbers Choir, take a little dab at all the dads in readiness for Father’s Day and publish the winners of our Mothers Day competition. We have also been inspired at how Karin and Jeanne have coped with the aftermath of a fire that recently gutted the kitchen of their restaurant 14 Peels Place. (See p3)
People PowerThere aren’t many of us who don’t burst into song occasionally and whether we can hold a tune or simply warble off-key, singing is wonderfully uplifting for the soul. Singing with others is even more rewarding so in 1996 when Teresa Hughes was asked to start a group, the aptly named Safety in Numbers Choir was born. No auditions were needed and choir practices were initially held in Teresa’s lounge, usually accompanied by Janet Austin. Over the years Safety in Numbers has become an integral part of Albany’s community with its 15 year anniversary celebrations starting with a concert at St John’s Church on July 7 at 7.15pm. The choir sings at a range of events and raises money for a number of charities, including Relay for Life and the Fuiloro East Timor Group. Members enjoy doing ‘flash performances’ at the markets, performing at the Christmas Cabaret and raising money during their Christmas Carol Pub Crawl. Teresa also runs a beginners group and an extension group for the more experienced choir members. Behind the scenes she brings some high notes and fun to aged care residents at Hawthorn House and Clarence House - and somehow finds time to teach music at the Grammar School.
Why couldn’t the singer open her front door? Because she couldn’t find the right key.She’s no singer, she couldn’t even carry a tune in her handbag!!People who have heard me sing, say that I don’t ! Mark Twain.Last night I hit a high C. It’s amazing what can happen when you back into a spear on stage!I will now sing ‘Somewhere my love lies Sleeping’ with the Welsh Men’s Choir.
Quirky Questions1. When was the United Nations Organisation founded? 2. Who was the first female Prime Minister of Britain? 3. Which city is known as ‘the city of canals? 4. Who said “The world is your lobster”? 5. Who was the first explorer to reach the South Pole ?
An Awesome Experience!Whale watching in Albany’s pristine waters aboard John Woodbury’s catamaran Sail-A-Way is indeed an awe-inspiring experience, leaving passengers deeply affected by ‘ the totally breathtaking displays of wild nature at its best. ’Whales breaching, playing, nurturing their young, curiously circling boats and eyeing up delighted onlookers provide many heart-touching moments that linger for ever. But it’s not just the experience of seeing whales in their own safe environment that makes a cruise with Albany Whale Tours so special. John Woodbury is a gracious host whose main concern is the welfare of his guests, and his knowledge of Albany’s marine environment and whales is shared with warmth and humour. The boat is ideal for whale watching or absorbing the scenery, and your comfort is further assured with hot drinks and Forrest Woodbury’s delicious homemade scones and jam. John also offers a guarantee to all his passengers – if you don’t fully enjoy your voyage or fail to spot any whales (during the season) then you are invited back for a free trip until you do!

I have never changed a tyre on the car and don’t intend to. Suzanne Second Prize: Me and my sister bought mum two trailers of mulch and 6 bags of cow poo for Mothers Day.

Fathers Day September 4 Don’t forget Fathers Day is on the horizon, with plenty of scope to show your appreciation for your dad. We have checked out some interesting gift ideas and activities which range from a nice little home-made gift to exciting adventures such as swimming with whale sharks or abseiling down a cliff ! However we specially loved Bill Cosby’s delightful observation: “Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is the soap-on-a-roap.”

Gourmet GossipWinter Warmers By Rebecca CommonsOk, time to tuck up warm and make the most of the winter season’s foodie offerings. So many varieties of apple, from the crisp tart Granny Smith to the mellow Gala: pile up a cake stand with them and you have edible art! For a delicious dessert melt butter and brown sugar in a pan then add sliced apples. Poach for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve with a bowl of thick custard. Winter and potatoes are a match made in heaven. Try Ranger Russets - sliced thinly and cooked with onions, herbs and stock. Bake slowly in the oven, then top with cheese: a homely accompaniment for fish or meat.If you are a cauliflower lover look for firm, pale coloured heads with deep green leaves. I love their versatility, from soul warming thick soups to a sprightly Indian Aloo Gobi. Cauliflower are high in vitamins A and C, as well as in calcium, fibre, folates and phytochemicals. Other favourites are pumpkin, leeks, shallots and kale. Make a point of stocking up on some of the region’s red wines - on a wintery day a glass of red, mulled with warm spices is just the kind of comfort we all need!

Keep calm and carry on!Kitchen fires in restaurants are not uncommon, but the result can often be disastrous, especially for a new business venture. 14 Peels Place opened its doors on February 7 by mother-daughter business partners, Karin Marsland and Jeanne van Zyl but in late May the kitchen was a blackened, charred mess. Still shocked by the experience, Jeanne said it could have been worse if she hadn’t acted fast. Within days the doors had re-opened albeit with a limited menu and a determination ‘to keep calm and carry on.’“We have learnt never to take anything for granted and it is also vital to ‘tick all the boxes’ when it comes to locating fire equipment in accessible places, and making sure everything works properly. The building was insured so we can rebuild the kitchen, but we regret not having taken out income protection insurance to cover wages and time for renovations.” Meanwhile as life slowly returns to normal, Jeanne and Karin can look on the bright side and laughingly offer tips on cooking with ‘flare’, how to make flambé cherry pie, barbecued steak, burnt biscuits….. A Phoenix Party is also being planned!
Chargrilled Tomato Soup Shared by Karin and Jeanne, 14 Peels PlaceIngredients: 1kg of fresh, ripe tomatoes; 1 Spanish onion; 3 cloves garlic; 1 apple; olive oil; salt and cracked black pepper; brown sugar to taste; herbs – dried Italian to suit (ie basil, coriander, thyme). Method: Skin onion and garlic, peel and core apple, chop tomatoes roughly and lay in a deep sided baking tray. Add glugs of olive oil and season with salt, pepper and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in oven, 200 degrees, for half an hour or until onions are soft. When cooked place in a saucepan or deep bowl and use a stick blender to combine the chargrilled ingredients, then season to taste. (The apple reduces the acidity and the brown sugar gives the caramelised flavour.) This is a very versatile recipe - you can also reduce the liquid and use as a pizza base, or add cream or a splash of balsamic vinegar for a bit of variation.
