The pork and BBQ sauce came up real well. The kids demolished half of the 5kg piece on Sunday night.

Did too much jacket spuds and corn cobs so Monday while I had a day off, I used some of them plus some leeks and made soup.

So tonights dinner is soup and toasted pork and bbq sauce sandwiches.

im happy for him to think its his idea!! checking them out now, he will probably say just go get it!!

Cooked some cauliflower and parsnip soup from the superfoods book last night, it was really yum, you can't taste the parsnips and the cauliflower makes it creamy, had the left overs for lunch. Last night order a new dishwasher, super quiet, clean steel so resists prints, and it has emergency water cut off to prevent leaks! arrives next Tuesday. Hubby has mnanged to get the old LG to work every three days or so. Went to Bacchus marsh Irish pub for dinner, warm seafood salad, very nice. Three more days to cook one pot meals! Or eat out! Cheers!

leg of lamb tonight. 3kg.

rather than doing roast spuds I did a gratin. Layers of celeriac, sweet potato and potato with a cream and chicken stock sauce.

Serve with steamed veg, mint sauce and gravy.

Roast beef and properly cooked roast potatoes, fluffy white on the inside, golden crunch outside, with garlic salt, lots of roast veggies, perfect for this yucky weather!

Wanted an easi cook as had a lovely day out -happy thread bit- with junior, we both got foils and a cut in Preston, then went shopping at Westfield in airport west, had to bank a cheque for a car we sold, and even happier, the bank had real people working there! I love self serve at the supermarket, not the bank!

And the supermarket is the WTF bit, a lot of the meat had security tags on it! Gees who walks in and pockets a roast? I'll have to check our supermarket, never noticed that before!

About 15 years ago ,my flatmate and I went shopping at Malvern Central Safeway. As we looked at the meat section I noticed a tray of a dozen steaks marked as soup bones . 14 cents. I grabbed them and the housemate was having pups.Stealing etc. No,the supermarket code will carry this. Everything goes through including soup bones. At 14 cents. Get home, pack it away and freeze etcand go to pub. Bloke who works at Safeway tells me it was common practice. Butchers see Mum or housemates etc and throw a heap out as something else and put in non obvious pace. I just happened to spot it and the woman behind me was probably some kids mum. What can she say? You are stealing my stolen stuff. They were great steaks as well.

2 nights ago youngest made a mushroom pie - An Ottoleghi recipe

To die for and while I don't mind mushrooms, his pie was something else:

http://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/mushroom-an ... ivier-shop

She got the mixed mushies etc from Prahran market. She only used pastry on top. With a mixed green salad - delish. Finished it off for lunch today.

She also made a rhubarb and blood orange cake / desert: The dough apart from flour & the usuals had some blood orange in it as well as some almond & pistachio meal. This was laid in a rectangular dish with slices of rhubarb & blood orange across it and then baked into it.

OMG

Went out for my youngest's 24th. Tradition has it that we go to a new restaurant of her choosing.

This year it was Mossi in Little Collins Street between Queen & Bourke Streets: Nice Italian food: Good homely & tasty food. Great service.

https://www.massi.com.au/menu

https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaura ... toria.html

Very "nice" night out.

Not too expensive, basically $60 a head for:

3 x entrees of calamari / baby octopus, deep fried stuffed green olives & salami with pickled veg.
5 x mains : 4 pastas & 1 fish,
3 sides: greens, ridiculously large style rectangular spuds / chips and a green style salad
5 x drinks including 2 x cocktails, 2 x beers and a wine.
3 coffees with 5 x cannoli.

Ate too much.

Cooked the chile mince, with veges, spooned it into ramekins, bit of puff pasty on top, into the oven.

Made seafood paella tonight - got the recipe from a lady in Valencia years ago - yum yum yum! Lovely bottle of Margaret River red to wash it down.
