Monsoon Summer lunch

20140912
By: kit Published: Sep 12th 2014

I’m not sure if I got household approval or hunger was to blame but it resulted in complete annihilation of the piri piri sauce. Lunch is late with pan fried chicken thigh pieces with piri piri, tomato & mint salad, stir fried yellow capsicum & onion and steamed runner beans. The onigiri are plain but […]

Nostalgic Piri Piri Chicken

By: kit Published: Sep 5th 2014

What an eventful week. After such an elaborate sushi making session, it’s good to wind down. As the rice was fresh for sushi, I prepared onigiri yesterday in advance. The fillings were kombu no tsukudani, smoked salmon & wasabi or anchovy & spring onion – “cupboard store” items (or left overs in the case of […]

Very Simple Ramen

By: kit Published: Sep 3rd 2014

A simple lunch consisting of noodles which is heavy on the crab sticks as I need to get through it since the brand change was not popular in the household. Shiitake, soft boiled egg, shredded crab sticks and spring onion combined with a shoyu ginger broth with added chicken stock. Despite the reduced amount of noodles or […]

First Pasta of September

By: kit Published: Sep 1st 2014

First day and pasta of the month, though the days are getting shorter the BBQ will go on.. Because of excess sausages and beans for Sunday breakfast, it was a simple matter of cooking the tomatoes to bring out their extra sweetness. Lunch is stove-top grilled tomatoes, shredded bacon, sliced Italian sausage and runner beans […]

The haggis that keeps on giving

By: kit Published: Jan 28th 2014

The idea to throw a BBQ for any occasion is not a very original nor unfamiliar motion for a pair of Australians, and to have 2 ‘special’ calendar events in sequence doubles the chances for proceeding. Spawned to celebrate this years Burns Night and Australia day, the game was afoot to use as much haggis […]

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 4

By: kit Published: Jun 20th 2013

I have no idea how long you can keep homemade mayonnaise but it’s tasting more limey (as it should!). Yet more proof that fat/oil is the way to go to make vegetables more tasty *sigh*

Eat Your Veggies!

Eat Your Veggies!
By: kit Published: Jan 7th 2013

I’m annoyed that though I don’t currently have a weight problem, it’s as if my personal concerns seem unfounded to other people. I have what I refer to as a “weight time-bomb”: if I’m not careful it’s in my genes that I can ‘blow up’. Presently I believe that all my sisters are now above […]

3 Shades of Pink

By: kit Published: Dec 12th 2012

With Yvan’s cooking motivation fired up we’ve been neglecting some potatoes that was destined for competition or venison stew (yes, still have a glut, but mostly it’s in the freezer) so over the weekend he eventually oven roasted the lot with rosemary and olive oil. As a carby side it really is at home with […]

Sweet & Frugal

Sweet & Frugal
By: kit Published: Sep 4th 2012

When there is a spot of sun, the BBQ beckons! It had been a while since we visited the local butcher, but they were eager to sell us anything except rabbit (which wasn’t quite available yet). As we hadn’t eaten sirloin in a while, we figured that should be remedied with a dose of sun […]
