So, I’ve just gone onto my blog to write my latest post, annnnd what have we here, pray tell…
Some cretin, has spammed the absolute bejeezus out of it like Dog:The Bounty Hunter’s pantry.
Look don’t get me wrong, I’m all for advertising… If I’m getting paid.
I’m all for sponsors… If we make a deal and it’s consensual.
Note to Sir.Spam-a-lot: I don’t remember permitting you to spew all over my blog pages. Go back to the ‘past its expiration date’ can, you came out of.
I feel violated.
I feel exposed.
I feel that even if I were in a bunker during an apocalyptic storm, I would still refuse to ingest Spam.
I’d really love to know how the EFF this happened…?!
If anyone out there has any advice for me about removing this cyber-loser from my website, I’m all ears.
But, in the meantime, while I try to clear this up… I will gift you with my latest recipe, Salmon Pot Pie.
Why… You ask?
Because, this is a food blog, and where I come from, Spam ‘aint food.
- 700gm Fresh Salmon - skinned and boned, cut into 2cm dices
- 2 Leeks - washed and finely sliced
- 1 cup Butternut Pumpkin - peeled and cubed into 1cm cubes
- 1 small bunch of Dill - roughly chopped
- 300mls Thickened cream
- 1 sheet Butter Puff Pastry - use good stuff, please.
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive oil
- Preheat your fan forced oven to 200c
- In a heavy based pot or dutch oven, heat 2 tbs of oil over a medium heat and fry the sliced leeks and pumpkin together for about 5 minutes until they start to soften, season really well.
- Once the veg is soft, take the pot off the heat and add the raw salmon and dill with the cream. Stir well and add a little more seasoning if you think it needs it, then carefully place the sheet of pastry over the top, tucking into the sides well.
- Cook for 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and brown, then leave to sit for 5 minutes. After resting, eat immediately and be thankful it isn’t a foul can of Spam. Amen.
Note to everyone: Blog title credit goes to my hilarious sister, Cerrita.
Also, I truly apologize. Any irritating advertising you may see on my pages and/or pop-ups on your computer, are totally unsolicited and completely without my consent. But, that’s just the way the inedible cookie crumbles, in the sordid world of Spam. Please bear with me while I sort this out, sorry!

Do you have something like Akismet to protect your website from spam, if not have a look. I thought most service providers might supply that as an addon. Hope it works out.
Hi Mike, I do have Akismet, because I had a problem a little while back with spam comments. This is a whole different ball game, this creep has totally infitrated my blog pages with bogus advertising and popups. It’s so wrong. Thanks heaps

Bree, the only thing I can think of is to block his IP address, but I suspect that would only be a temporary fix. Sorry you are having the problem as I really enjoy your blog and recipes.
