  1. When life gives you Lemons.... WTF do you do ? 🤣

    Work contact asked me if I used Lemons. I said yeah sure, apparently the citrus farm he works at can't sell what they have 😔, and he'd grab me some of the produce set to be composted.

    I expected maybe 6 shitty lemons if any, him bringing me anything would be a extra 240km drive for him.  

     

    20kg later.... this is a small sample and they are the size of my hand🤦‍♀️

    I have 2kg sliced onion to use up 🤦‍♀️. I sliced 2kg and sent with the boys on their Bucks weekend. They ate 72 Sausages and forgot the onion.

  3. Leftover Burger Patties I made for a Bucks weekend. I only had Ciabatta to hand. Lightly toasted, American cheese, pickle, onion, one with BBQ sauce 🤢 and one with mayo, mustard & tom.

    Sadly, no booze made the return journey.

  4. Ugly delicious tonight. I got lured by misleading grocery store steak again. The fat was a good inch thick, the meat maybe 1 cm. So I decided on Steak Sangas fat removed for me and the boy. Forgot I had 0 salad... he didn't mind 🤷‍♀️

     

    Steak, Beetroot, King Island Cheddar and Onion with Spicy Tom Relish. 

     

    Tried an internet thing where you butter bread before toasting. Won't do it again. My grill is probably uneven.

  5. So I came home to his first crack. Not too shabby (but as I mentioned - we don't BBQ so who knows if its any good 😂). Delish & Juicy he did pork belly and chicken legs - got bored of lollipops after 4! Cherry & Sheoak - apparently thats important.

  6. Husband went to a couple of BBQs during lockdown with his lad mates. Both of whom had invested in pellet smokers and were dabbling. Now we have never been BBQ aficionados I think I tried Brisket once maybe? But nevertheless when he mentioned he was considering trying it out I agreed, hobbies are good, I like meat, how hard can pellet smoking be 🤷‍♀️? And if he dosen't take to it, no harm. 

     

    Came home from work today. 

    What. The. F...

  7. Cypriot/Greek inspired slow roast Lamb. 

    Garlic, lemon, Cinnamon, Oregano & Rosemary marinade for 24 hours. 

    Balanced on some tiny potatoes kidlet dug up from his great grandmothers veggie patch.

    Five hours later and the carnivore should be happy. Little drier than I would have liked but I'll put that down to me using a leg not a shoulder. I just can't seem to find lamb shoulder down here.

  11. Skewered and packed one of the other red meats for Hubbys work lunch tomorrow. I just can't do it myself, too strong/gamey, have to air out the house after.

    That needs dark chocolate chips in it in my world. I can't tell from pic

    Normally it does here too. But this Gelato place neglected the chips. They also didn't have Vanilla which is what I would have usually got. Still yummy. 

  13. Pub lunch today.

  14. We each picked two restaurants that do Covid takeout. Picked the name out of a hat. One of hubbys Mexican choices 'won'. 

    You win some you loose some. Flavours are awesome. Temp/portions not so awesome.

  15. Breakfast at a place called Eat at Dan & Stephs. I think they were on a cooking competition tv show. Its a brunchy kind of place, husbands choice not mine. We prebooked and had a 45 minute sitting window.

  16. I haven't been anywhere since February. Decided to brave it and sneak away for the weekend.... but not brave enough to eat out / do anything yet 😂. So we had food delivered to the apartment. At least we can see the sea.

  17. This fits here just. Only because my dinner was all the off cuts etc. Kid had curried (catsick) snags and rice. 

     

    Husband is hosting friends for day drinks tomorrow while I'm working so I built this to ensure there is something to nibble on. Last time it was very much single malt and not a single thing else! 

     

    I want to assure you this will be served with a lot of fresh fruit and veg. But it would be a lie.

  18. 21 hours ago, heidih said:

     

     Not my thing and if they must exist please please hold the cold shredded cheese! 

    I'm with you on the cold cheese, as is my husband. His layering involves 'bottom cheese' so it melts into the meat. My son however has a less advanced palette... and like with the hidden veg - if he can't see it, it's not there and it must be cheesy - hence top cheese 😁

    As to the hard shells - I've only lived in UK and AU and hard / soft shells are both readily available in all shops - don't know anyone that makes either of them personally. Hard seems to get most of the advertising though. 🤷‍♀️

  19. Night before last husband was playfully moaning about missing a Schooner and A Parmy. Again.

     

    Gave it a shot. I scored 10/10 for the Schnitzel (thank you Panko) and 8/10 for the Chicken parmigiana as a whole.

    Tonight was Turkey Taco Tuesday, I stuff for the kid and these are his. I have learnt that if I put crunchy / healthy toppings in the meat they get eaten - so mince includes tomato, beans and capsicum etc.

    Excuse the presentation but these beeping things fell over 6 beeping times while I was trying to provide socially acceptable photo content of a 7 year olds dinner. This is the Beep It shot.
