2 nights ago youngest made oven baked salmon in lemon & pepper then flaked into a pasta sauce with thin spaghetti, a hint of finely diced red onion & cut asparagus & fresh cut dill served with fresh grated parmesan. Delicious.

Last night had tiny lamb cutlets on the sizzle plate done in a marinade of tamari, a bit of the indonesian soy manis or something, oregano, bit of lemon juice & served with mashed potato & pumpkin mix, ratatouille (bits of red capscium, zucchini, tomatoes, beans, mushies mixed), & bits of steamed broccoli with steamed cauli).

Last night made a Thai Beef Salad for the first time - yummy.

If you leave the beef & sauce out of it the salad is remarkably simillar to a Lebanese Fatoosh - both amazingly fresh, zingy, & delightful.

Whole bunches of chopped: Coriander, basil, lettuce leaves, mint with thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, tomatoes,

Take out basil for the fatoosh & add parsley / dill & thinly sliced radish for the fatoosh

Different sauces. A taste explosion yummee

Tonight - slow cooked lamb roast on the new cast iron oven dish

Last night my youngest made: Stuffed roast eggplant (minced lamb, pine nuts, the roast eggplant flesh, herbs & spices with a chick pea salad & a fatoosh salad.

Tonight I've made Turkish lamb meatballs (kofte) that are poached (after they've been browned) in a tomato sauce. (minced lamb, grated onion, chopped mint & parsley, fresh breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, allspice, salt & pepper).

Served with steamed rice with a garden salad.

Just as an aside... Why is it that on 90% of occasions when a positive adjective is used by either Australian TV cooks or Australian radio restaurant reviewers do they choose the word "beautiful". Not only that, they all always seem to like accentuating the "U" and say it as beaU-tiful.

They all do it. Drives me mad it does.

There are plenty of other words out there which can be used to describe a meal or an ingredient.

Thankfully, Ramsay, Lawson, Oliver, Blumenthal, Fearnley-Whittingstall, Martin, Worrall-Thompson, Carluccio, Stein and Smith have wider vocabulary.

Also, speaking of restaurant critics... vale Michael Winner (who, although is most well know for his work in film, spent his later years writing a flamboyantly fantastic weekly restaurant review for the London Sunday Times). Condolences to his wife Geraldine as well as the rest of his family.
