A few meals we’ve been having this week. Below. Bought Tortellini with red sauce Below Pork chop with pasta and red sauce, plus puréed baby spinach. My red sauce is gently fried onion and garlic in olive oil, a can of tomatoes and usually a pinch of dried basil or maybe oregano. I know I could open a jar of passata but I’ve always done it this way. Below Breaded chicken fillet, salad and nuked potato.

Soup again… we love soup. This time with different mushrooms. Enokitake plus shiitake mushrooms, chicken, coriander, chilli, lemon grass, Vietnamese mint… love an Asian broth soup. The Vietnamese mint is growing like mad in the garden but not so the Vietnamese basil nor the sweet basil.

Centrelink oysters Kilpatrick…Hilarious @CantCookStillTry. They look delicious and I’ll be serving them at a small party I’m having on the 23rd. Salt plus.

Yummy breakfast, pancakes with smoked salmon and a dollop of whizzed up avocado.

Corned beef or also known as silverside with potatoes, carrots, broccolini and a mustard sauce. Fresh small dinner bread rolls were also on the table.

This was a small lamb Balinese curry using the paste from a jar of Ayam Balinese curry paste. Added onions, lamb and small pieces of potato and cooked for quite awhile till the potatoes were soft and creamy. I like this curry flavour, it is milder than most and not coconut milk based. Broccoli as a side and served with a slice of bread rather than rice!!

Baked beans and an egg in the pan with dark rye toast

Seems as though there are plenty of shrimp/ prawns being eaten including in my dish of seafood spaghetti

Here’s some soup I made for lunch. Has home grown kale and all the good stuff. I guess you could call it minestrone.

Chilli mince beef with black beans plus my simple accompaniments.

@Maison Rustique your, as you say doctored pizza looks really good. For dinner soy hoisin chicken with chicken stock rice and broccoli. A sort of “invented” dish. I did add a little chilli crisp after taking the photo. Was tasty.

Love those lamb chops above @gfweb Two dinners Pizza with bought base. I made paprika mince beef to go on with the usual olives, tomato sauce, mozzarella etc Below Cooked Pizza Chicken in white wine with thyme, potatoes, carrots and peas

I just discovered this thread and thought I’d post a photo of a beer I had recently in a Mexican type restaurant. Now I don’t know if beers like this are common in Mexico or the US but it was definitely way out there for my hometown of Melbourne. Actually it was quite good. Beer with lime and shrimp

Typical breakfast with canned baked beans.

Two omelettes one cooked for husband, who likes his ‘well done’ and mine still quite ‘rare’. Both filled with two cheeses, grated chedder and grated manchego. Lm
