Yes, battered and deep fried!
Actually my onion rings were breaded and oven baked 😊
Still not healthy by any means. But I am not brave enough to deep fry anything at home.

Ok. So my Hub Keeps unusual hours, and while it's Wednesday (at varying times) for us normal folk, it's Saturday for him & his Buddies. His turn to host and I am assembling burgers. It being Wednesday for me I make 'em at a normal time... they eat 'em when they get round to it 😂.
Look away lovers of Gourmet & Health. This is not it.
Half were beef burgers with Jalapeno, Onion rings, Burger sauce with Bacon and Cheese and half were 'Quater Pounder' style.

Popping in to say I had to google 'Eggslut' thinking I was reading the pronunciation wrong and it was some fancy gourmet thing I hadn't heard of.
Nope. It is what it is. And I love it. 😂

How old are the youngest?
We are a trio and my Son is 6. Sushi is his favourite food after chips and nuggets 😂. Despite being rural, Australia truly is a melting pot of cultures and what the kids take is so varied. I wouldn't have even considered giving it a go if he hadn't said 'So & so had Sushi today'... I am aware this might all change as age and judgemental behaviour increases 😔

I am trying to improve the variety in the lunch boxes I make for my big and little boys.
First ever attempt. See how they fare overnight. I don't love them enough to make it at 3am before work 😂 He's clearly not a Moe yet!

I will never again forget my lunchbox and leave it (and its remaining cauliflower rice) in my car for 24 hours when the outside temp is 38 degrees.
Pee-Yew! 🤢

Hearty Steaming Sausage Casserole! Just what you feel like after being outside all day in 38 degrees! Not.
Heres hoping ones husband gets the hint that if his answer to 'what time are you getting home?' is 'I dunno' I'm likely to resort to my timing friendly reheatable favourite stews & soups & casseroles 😂
If his comments of 'oh a hearty summer stew' and 'Thank G we have aircon' are anything to go by he might get it 😂

smoko?
Yes break time. Colloquialism with its roots in stopping for a cigerette and the Australian insistence that everything is better ending in 'o' or 'a'.
And Bernie 'Smoko' is still very much used by the rough and ready and rural and resistant to change 😂. Especially those that start at 0430 finish at 1800.

The baked egg thing from dinner gets repurposed for husbands lunch/smoko. I put it in a wrap with some veg and he will reheat in the crib sandwich press with an unpictured side salad.
Badly lit parcel.

"Crustless Quiche" & Salad. The ham fatigue is getting real now. But in times like these its very important not to be wasteful IMO.

You all know I'm a simple gal by now. Tried to mess around with presentation tonight 🤦♀️.
Him: Whats this called?
Me: Lamb Peas & Spuds
Him: Oh.
Over done lamb. Boiled then pan browned taytos, mashed minty peas & Feta.

Ham & Cheese Toasties
( I have come over all American and like the cast iron pan method - probably should throw away my Toastie Press space filler ).
I make a cheese 'paste' with strong cheddar, leftover cheese ends (goats this time) mustard, woster, salt & pep.
Ham salad wrap for husbands Smoko / First lunch.

Last night of the Jollies. Many a leftover shoved in a Doggy Box.
Chicken Parmy (Aussie tradition is to judge an establishment by its Parmy - or so my hubster tells me when he orders one 75% of the time and I accuse him of being boring).
Kid had a Cheeseburger
I tried a 'Rueben' - again not sure if truly a Rueben as had brisket and pastrami but was yummy and huge.
Jalepeno Poppers to Sample
This was a diff restaurant to the other night but a few in the area seem to be trying to do things 'American'.
We even saw a Carls Jr in nearby Rocky.

A BBQ dinner tonight at a place called Pie Alley in Yeppoon. Supposed to be New Orleans style food in a Whiskey & Blues Bar. Set in a literal Alley.
There was a brilliant live singer but it wasn't Blues. There was not that great a Whiskey selection and I have never been to New Orleans but I didn't see any Gumbo or Jambalaya on the menu ... so not sure if very authentic. BUT the food we did have was Very Very Very good.
Pretty sure my hub would have prefered to take more loaded "fries" home over me 😂.
Obligatory kids nugs & chips
Pulled pork loaded fries with salsa, Aioli and Jalepeno Jelly.
Bbq platter of Pork ribs, Popcorn Prawns, Onion rings & SF chicken with slaw and chips.

Well I have been really looking forward to all the eating out and not cooking. Didn't get off on the best foot 🤷♀️. Eyeing the pans in the apartment 😂.

@Kim Shook Yes they are my sausage rolls. I'm used to Srolls being rectangular or little squares. I use sausage meat without casing (or 'undress' pre existing sausages) add my flavours and shape a flatish portion of the meat mix on the pastry then fold and seal 🙂. I prefer the pastry to have an edge on the meat tbh

Last night we had another get together. I neglected to get any photos of the BBQ but got a shot of the nibbles. There was Rump & Snags, Potato & Pasta salads, Green Salad, Stuffed potatos, Coleslaw & Garlic Bread. I am done with cooking/making for a bit!
Goats, Cheddar, Camembert, Jambon Serano, Kransky etc..
We go away for 5 days now so its been a mission to hand over / use up leftovers. Tonight I made my husband an 'Abominable Sandwich' for dinner. (He loves weird ass sandwiches, they make me sick in my mouth a little 🤷♀️🤢).
Cheap white bread, thin sliced leftover rump, pasta salad, mustard, spring onion and jalepeno with Massdaam & Cheddar. Dustbin Sammich 😂.

I had a mouthful but in my husbands words 'If you get the chance to try this... Don't'.
