The other vege I like but seems to have a very short season is Jerusalem artichoke - a root like vege tuber. It has nothing to do with jerusalem & nothing to do with artichokes although acc to wiki a frenchman thought the inner tuber was similar in taste to artichokes & so the name grew. Magnificent baked - sought of nutty taste - have to wash & peel it looks a bity like ginger & yummy along with baked spuds & anything else you put on the baking tray.

Has any one else tried them?
Is it true JA's make you fart? I remember hearing it on a cooking show or something. :shock:

WPT, your joint sounds like a three-star Michelin restaurant! I'm just lucky it's pretty cheap to eat out over here or I'd be in trouble!

Went to a pizza place for a work do last night on the water at Docklands.

Do your self a favor, don't bother!

The antipasto was nice, good actually, but the seared beef salad I had, ugh, seriously it didn't even look like meat! Quite a few had pizzas, and they looked very bland. The parmas were fried to the death,

Been to three restaurants there now, all crap! It's like they think your just happy to have the view!

Hardly, its meat & veg - but quite a few veg in the ratatouille most of the time - so when you spell it ouit it seems like a bit.

Although the cutlets were a first for me this week!

Doing some pasta dishes

Last night knocked up some chicken fettuccine with zucchini, bacon, capsicum and baby spinach in a tomato based sauce.

Tonight went back to old school.

Mince meat, mushrooms, beans, peas, corn, BBQ sauce, garlic, chilli (powder and flakes) tomatoes and shell pasta all mixed up together. Delish.

Chili is the best quick flavor ingredient known to man.
Love the stuff.

Tonight, it's schnitzel with home made dijon/lemon coleslaw.
Simple quick delish.


PS. JW Green goes well with this and is on special for $54.90 at DM, normally about $80. (price matched at 1st choice today)

You used to like the spicy food before cancer ruined your guts yeah?

I'd be tempted to do it still sometimes and pay the price, but not often.

The bright side is mate you're still with us. :D

last night i went to the local fish and chip shop, they recently changed owners so i thought i would give them a go. Last owners had no idea how to make a decent burger or how to grill a flake. The new owners seem to know what there doing but they cant handle the orders, they have 3 staff behind counter but do 1 order at a time quite annoying
