He can shoot and rarely misses.

How many kids you got again Skids?

You're talking point blank range there, no aiming required.

I think a lot of people are reminded of it. Was the trip worth it?

You never know.

To spice things up a funnel at 3 paces might be used twice a year.

Got a beef roast slow cooking in the crockpot. Pull that out shortly and make a sauce out of the liquid.

Also got chicken fillets simmering with stock, wine, bacon, garlic, mushrooms and onion. Add the cream and Parmesan shortly.

Serve with mashed spuds and steamed veges.

Chicken sounds good. How long do u cook it for?

Hubby cooked roast turkey breast last night, and lots of roast veggies, he always cooks Sunday. Saturday we were at a wedding, really good finger food trays, not little shit stuff that doesn't fill you up, mini burgers and big chunks of calamari. Friday went to a friends for dinner, I made a sugar free sticky date cake, and they cooked up a fantastic BBQ. While we were waiting for the meat, I mixed up an Mexican avocado dressing for her that had her in raptures! Thursday i stupidly decided to make Jamie's super greens canaloni, they tasted really good, the sauce was fabulous, cooked salmon to go with it and some calamari steaks, but geezus it took forever to clean the mess, the kitchen, my hair, my clothes, next time I'm using flat canaloni, lasagna, vegetarian lasagna, I'm making lasagna.

So daughters boyfriend rocked up last week with a big home made pizza, half potato, (yuk) half pesto, the pesto was to die for, this week he turns up with a big plate of quiche slice. I'm not sure what to think. Maybe the kids tell her I don't feed them. True, weekends we might go out for dinner one night, and hubby. Cooks Sunday, but I've cooked him plenty of edible meals. And they've been her for a BBQ I pulled all stops out at, and a couple of Christmas and birthday parties. My daughter says 'oh she was just cooking up a big bunch of pizzas, or as the week before that, lasagnas' who does that?

So next weekend they are having a spit, they are Italian and something else, so Easter is big, and we aren't doing anything, so she says 'well they are having a do!' Which is cool! They generally do alternate weekends. So I'm thinking I'll make an extra sticky date for them, and maybe some cookie dough protein balls. A couple of flavours!

I am so not into this let's share baking shit, I just can't compete! She makes stuff that looks like itcane out of a pastry shop. Is it in the DNA?

I mean I can cook, I just really don't feel like it very often. I'm doing a jaimie recipe slow cooked beef thing tonight. 37 days and no real cooking for 33 days! Yippee!

3 girls... that i know of.

I can and have shot a gun but I don't own one Stui. I don't think it'd go down too well if I borrowed old Vics rifle and went out shooting roos

Depends, an hour or so. I'm imprecise on stuff like that.

I just brown the fillets, take them out and fry the onion garlic, mushies etc in some butter and olive oil, chuck in some stock and white wine, put the fillets back in. get it to the boil (covered) then turn down to low and wander away.

Moisture all stays in the meat as it's basically being braised so a couple of hours is fine, if you're in a hurry you could do it all in less than an hour.

memo to self, reduce the amount of liquid next time before adding the cream, it came out too runny for what I was after

geez, if a jalapeno made her suffer she should stay away from real chillies.

We observe strict food rituals for Good Friday. However, last night Golden Terrace wasn't open, so we had to get our chicken and lamb doner from Alaysa.

We have lots of the little killers too: the thai tiny chillies. Having said that she laughed at her self so the word suffer is being used liberally.

I don't like too much chilli in my food these days.

Life without too many chillies would not be worth living.

The Thai birds eye chillies are great. Nice amount of heat and you can mix it up or down depending on taste.

jalapenos are nice, but just add a bit of warmth. I'll put 2 home grown sliced jalapenos in an omelette with cheese and bacon, and put hot sauce on top to eat.
