Pastoral Letterand Church Meetings

If you are a member of a church not listed here, please email the detailsto [email protected] and we may print this in future issues.

I came across this story recently -its about the funeral of Charle-magne, who had been thegreatest Christian ruler of the earlyMiddle Ages. After his death, amighty funeral procession left hiscastle heading towards theCathedral at Aix. When the royalcasket arrived with a lot of pompand circumstance, it was met bythe Bishop of Aix, who barred thecathedral door.

“Who comes?” the Bishop asked,as was the custom. “Charle-magne, Lord and King of the HolyRoman Empire”, proclaimed theEmperors proud herald. “I knowhim not!” the Bishop replied, thenasked again “Who comes?”

The herald, a bit shakenannounced “Charles, Great, agood and honest man of theearth.” “I know him not!” theBishop said again, and againasked again “Who comes?”

The herald, now completelycrushed, responded “Charles, alowly sinner, who begs the gift ofChrist.” The Bishop, Christ’s rep-resentative, responded “Enter,received Christ’s gift of life.”

I wouldn’t vouch for the veracity ofthe story, but it does make thepoint that titles can’t save us. HolyEmperor, King, the Great - its irrel-evant what people call us.

After a life’s work, an incredible lifein many ways, Charlemagne’sherald realised that he was a manwho, stripped of all the titles andthe adulation, stood before Godasking for mercy and acceptance.

Augustus Toplady’s hymn, “Rockof Ages”, says this more elo-quently than ever I could:Nothing in my hand I bringSimply to thy cross I clingNaked came to thee for dressHelpless, look to thee for graceStrained by sin, to thee I flyWash me Saviour, or I die

Matters Arising

• gC hasn’t heard anything back from

bEaR. He will also chase up transport

Scotland about the snow clearing.

• den carpark has been retarred and

white lines painted

• tobys on School Road been repaired.

House in Viewfield that was burned down

- Can anything be done as vermin are

making a mess? the house is secured

and a letter has been sent to the family

concerned but there has been no

response.

Community Councillors updates

• iC - Environment - the trees in Keith

square were mentioned again. SC will

see to this. a tree in Station road is

blocking light was also reported.

• paths leading up to the falls Of tarnash

were washed away and are very deeply

rutted. Can anything be done about this?

• Cl - Roads and Rights of Way - Cl

asked why the bin men can’t put the lids

back onto buckets on windy days. they

get blown everywhere. Cl tied on cable

ties but the bin men cut them off, he has

on something stronger now which has so

far worked. the road is slowly collapsing

around the Oldtown railway bridge. there

are no fences on some areas and is also

untidy. SC will look into this.

• the area round the seat up the steps

towards the hospital is also untidy - fence

is down with fence posts littered around.

Hospital owns the ground.

• When is a new bus shelter to be erected

in fife Keith where the lorry ran into it last

year?

• light outside the Royal also not

working.

• Railings next to the ugie not repaired

yet- possibly insurance claim causing the

hold up.

• pavement beside Milton lodge

overgrown, KdRa will need to be

contacted to clear this.

• drains still not being cleared - SC said

he had seen drains in fife Street being

cleared.

• Sand boxes need repairing for next

winter’s supply of sand.

• a dog litter box has been requested in

the Cuthil. nC said it was ridiculous that

dog owners could not carry home their

bags and put them into their own refuse

buckets.

• Clothing bank - no money has been

received for a considerable length of

time.

• Christmas lights - Strathmill distillery

has offered premises for the trees to get

their lights fitted. JM will contact someone

about this. ta members have been ap-

proached and they will hopefully be able

to lend a hand putting trees into brackets.

letters to go out asking for donations.

trees are to be ordered for november

delivery. new lights for the a96 to be

ordered.

• JM - planning - the pitch at the new

school is to be moved as it is too near the

street. discussion was held about the all

One reason why I take

part every year in the

Moray Bike Ride which I

did again recently is that

it gets me back on the

bike for fresh air and

exercise.

This year a hardy bunch of local families

braved the elements and took part, all in

aid of the Royal Society for the Blind. Our

lovely countryside looks even better from

the saddle and no doubt like most readers

I only wish I could discipline myself to go

cycling a bit more often, to shed the

pounds and, in my case become an

increasingly rare entity - a fit and healthy

politician!

Often we hear bad things

in the media about young

people but like all

sections of society it is a

handful who are giving

an impression to society

that, in the vast majority of cases, is well

wide of the mark.

My own experience in recent weeks on

various school visits has been of meeting

young people who are engaged, enthusi-

astic and confident individuals. It is great

to see them continuing to develop these

skills with the encouragement and

guidance of their parents, teachers and

the wider school community.

Go Wild on Musselsin

the Moray Firth

The Common

Mussel (Mytilus

edulis) is found in

many places in the

Moray Firth. They

can form huge beds

particularly in areas

where conditions

are good for larval

settlement, and

where there is plenty of food. The largest wild mussel fishery

in Scotland is in the Dornoch Firth and run by Highland

Fresh Mussels Ltd. on behalf of the Highland Council. The

fishery employs 4 staff, rising to 8 at busy harvesting

periods, as well as supporting a number of jobs in shore

based businesses. Income generated goes to the Tain

Common Good Fund.

The mussel fishery has had a long association with the

people of Tain. In 1612, ownership of the mussel scalps and

the right to fish for mussels was bequeathed to the Royal

Burgh of Tain by James vI of Scotland. The Dornoch Firth

Mussels provided an important source of food during times

of famine, and are today considered a highly desirable food

item.

Approximately 60% of the mussels are exported directly to

France. Much of the remainder is sold to two local

companies in Tain, who clean and grade the mussels, pack

them in 5kg bags and sell to customers across the UK.

Mussels are extremely high in proteins, calcium and iron

while being low in fat and calories. They are also excellent

for your heart, containing the highest amount of Omega 3’s

of any shellfish (this is the naturally occurring fatty acid that is

believed to lower blood pressure).

The Dornoch Firth is regarded as an area of high ecological

value. The Firth is virtually unaffected by industrial devel-

opment and supports a wide range of marine and bird life.

Around one third of the Firth lies within Sites of Special Sci-

entific Interest (SSSI), and forms part of the proposed

Marine Special Area of Conservation.

Dornoch Firth mussels are not farmed like most of the

mussels sold in supermarkets.

Wild beds are used that regenerate naturally and great care

is taken to ensure these are not over-fished. Stock surveys

are carried out annually using a variety of techniques

including underwater cameras. These then determine the

harvest levels for the coming year.

For further information on the mussel fishery in the Dornoch Firth and on

purchasing mussels, please contact Dafydd Morris, Fisheries Develop-

ment Officer, Highland Council. ([email protected]) or

check out the website at www.highlandmussels.com

Mussels as a food

Mussels are truly one of nature’s most delightful delicacies.

They are usually steamed, although they are wonderful grilled,

baked, stewed or sauteed. It is difficult to understand why

mussels have taken such a battering by the British palate. They

are often dismissed as the delicacy that they are, perhaps due

to the fact that there were once a staple part of our diet.

europeans do not seem to have lost this and eat them by the

bucketload!

Moules Mariniere

4lbs mussels, scrubbed and scrapedBunch of fresh herbs4 tbsp onion, freshly chopped1 oz butter unsalted8 fl oz dry white wine1 tsp lightly crushed black peppercorns2 fl oz double cream

In a large pan with a tightly fitting lid, bring to the boil the herbs,onion, butter, wine and pepper. Add the mussels, return to theboil and cook over a high heat until all the mussels have opened.Turn the mussels into a colander set over a bowl to collect all theliquor.

Put the mussels into a tureen to keep warm, then strain the liquorback into the pan through two thicknesses of muslin to removesandy grit. Reduce the liquor by about a third to intensify theflavours, then add the cream and pour over the mussels.

Garnish generously with chopped parsley. Serve with crustybread to mop up the juices and your desired quantity of dry whitewine.

Parsnip Veloute

Now that the weather will be getting colder Ithought that I would bring along a soup to the table.Veloute translates as ‘velvety’ in French, it is a very rich,smooth and filling soup and it is a very big seller in ourrestaurant. The base for the soup remains the same - itis just the core flavour, in this case parsnips, thatchange. So, you could use any thing from artichoke tozucchini, my personal favourites are cauliflower, parsnipand carrot. The key to getting this soup velvety iscooking the ingredients until they are very soft, then liq-uidising and then passing them through a sieve. Soonto the recipe that is basic as it only has four base in-gredients, but is extremely worthwhile and will pleaseyour family or your dinner guests.

Serves 4-6 approx

4 Large Parsnips1 Large Onion125g Slightly Salted Butter500ml Double Cream (it must be double for cooking)1 Pint of WaterSalt to season and pepper if you must

Peel the parnips, quarter them, take out centre stalkby cutting at an angle to remove, this is so your soupcooks quicker and to maintain smoothness.

Peel the onion and slice roughly, put parsnips,onions, butter, cream and water into a large pan,making sure all ingredients are covered by the liquidand cook until very soft. Liquidise until smooth, passthrough your finest sieve, taste and season ifnecessary, then serve. If it is slightly thick you can addwater to reach your desired texture. I would serve thiswith parsnip crisps and a wee splash of white truffle oil.

Parsnip Crisps

1 Large ParsnipTeaspoon of SaltBoiling Water

Peel one large parsnip, cut the top and tail off, ifyou have a mandolin slice thinly remembering to useit's guard, if you don’t have a mandolin just use a goodpotato peeler to peel strips from top to bottom. Thenplace the strips of parsnips into a metal or glass bowland cover with boiled water and a teaspoon of salt,cover with cling film and allow to cool naturally, oncethey have cooled, remove from water and place on atea towel and pat them dry, then put them into a deepfat fryer at 180°c until they crispen. The point of puttingthem in water and salt is to maintain as much of thenatural white colour as possible (some food sciencehappens along the way!)

Next month I will bring you a good and heartywinter warmer main course, just like we are serving inThe Grill for this season, where we are concentrating onhomely feel good food such as Fish and Chips, our everpopular Steaks and the classic Sticky Toffee Puddingwhich featured in last month’s issue. These traditionaldishes will run alongside the existing seasonal menu.

Happy Cooking!
