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

Another Sunday roast, this time lamb. It was nicely pink but I don’t mind it roasted a little longer as well. The ubiquitous roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, beans, mint jelly and gravy.

Dumpling soup again, this time has kale, pumpkin, lots of coriander and Vietnamese mint.

Breakfast with almost the lot ( missing baked beans IMHO ) I know people say a fry up is unhealthy but this lot was cooked in approximately a dessert spoon of olive oil.

Well possibly brunch as it was 11.30am A Spanish chorizo omelette with baguette toast.

Dinner was noodles, broccoli and Hungarian goulash with sour cream. We have small tubs of sour cream here in Australia, but nothing as delicious as the tubs of sour cream available in US … well at least California where I have done my most grocery shopping when in US. I first tasted US sour cream in the 80’s when visiting my girlfriend who had moved there, Woodland Hills, and at her home she produced a tub of sour cream. ” Taste this” she said, I did and my eyes opened wide ”I know” she said. It was so good.

Dinner was a minimal hamburger and a salad with homemade pickled red onions.

Soup for lunch again. Chicken and chicken stock, carrots, glass noodles, garnish green onions and chilli crisp.

Roast chicken for Sunday dinner. The slices of roast pumpkin were so sweet and delicious. Stuffing/dressing? was with tarragon. DH made the gravy. He cooks the butter and flour roux till it’s quite brown and uses the chicken juices with the fat skimmed off. It’s thicker than I like it but it doesn’t bother me enough to complain plus I like him helping in the kitchen.

Vegetable stew of eggplant, yellow pepper, red onion and tomatoes. Fried gnocchi and a beef patty.

Another soup as we are having a run of cooler rainy weather. Bought pork dumplings with a quickly made broth with Asian flavours… meaning some coriander, fresh ginger, lemon grass paste, soy sauce and chicken stock all simmered for about only half an hour.

Lunch was Irish seafood chowder. Cooked a soffitto (Sp.various) in butter, added plain flour, added fish stock, added small cubes of potato. Simmered this for about half an hour then added some cream, milk, salt and pepper, some thyme, brought this all to the boil and added cubes of salmon, cubes of snapper, some shrimp/ prawns and a few shelled mussels. Cooked for 5 minutes till all seafood cooked. Done.

Dinner was porterhouse steak with chips/fries and salad. 2nd photo shows the steak was cooked medium rare. Was all good

Tomato omelette for breakfast

You can tell when my husband has been cooking as he doesn’t cut the chicken small, anyway Thai green chicken curry with rice and poppadums (Sp?) … there is also some lime pickle in my bowl. It doesn’t really go with a Thai curry being Indian nor do the poppadums for that matter, but I don’t care, I like them.

Oh @liuzhou I’m sorry that happened, looks very bad. We had salad bowls with the usual suspects again. This time they contained home grown lettuce, kale and coriander. My garden is doing much better this year because I have put chicken wire around it to stop the possums eating everything. The possums have multiplied to be a problem due to, I think, the demise of the neighbour’s cat, who would hunt them. Yes cats are a menace but so are the possums in the city, although they are very cute.
