I just prepared a favourite rissole recipe of mine for tonight....I don't
usually prepare for my evening meal so early in the day, but have been
feeling lazy and weary lately when it comes to the end of the day!......

I put my new car (that has been outside since purchasing it early last
October) in to have a Diamond Glaze put over the paintwork, which will help
protect the paint work and gives it the highest polished gloss I have seen
on cars, and it only needs washing and not polishing.....A lifetime
guarantee (wonder how long a life guarantee is for a car).... I also had the
Leather and vinyl and carpets treated as well with a protective coating.....
Again, a lifetime guarantee......

My double garage is full of old furniture and just plain rubbish, together
with an old 1975 'Mini Clubman' car that needs repairs, and my son insists
that he wants to keep it and so time in the future restore it again!! .....
In the meantime my 2 cars sit outside of the garage on the drive with no
protection from the weather at all....I nearly have a fit everytime that
'Hail' is predicted!.... Unfortunately, my son is interstate and has no
immediate plans to return home!...... Meantime, the grass has grown too high
for me to attempt to mow it, and the backyard is full of unfinished backyard
work, started and not completed!....

His cat is driving me mad her grieving for him to return, and follows me
like a shadow.... I have nearly fallen down the stairs a couple of times
when I have decended, she will even run in front of me as I ascend as well!

I also have another car of his, a 1995 'Puegeot' 403 that again needs
repairing and re-registering, but he wants to sell it, but has put it
outside of my property on the roadway, and now I have the police onto me to
move it within 7 days, or else!!

I absolutely 'hate' being in the house by myself for so long, but he feels
some duty to stay with his sisters to help them still with their moves onto
a new acreage property, and neglect his responsibilities here in Sydney!

Now, these are only a very small amount of my problems at the moment..... I
have to let a little steam off sometimes!!

NOW, that recipe.....I will post it here as compensation of listening to my
rant!!


500g Minced (Ground) Beef.
1 Tspn Dried Tarragon Leaves.
1 Tspn Dried Basil Leaves.
2 Table Spoon (40Ml) Honey.
1 Tablespoon (20Ml) Dark Soya Sauce.
2 Tablespoons (40Ml) Full Cream.
1 Onion, finely chopped.
1 Good Sized Clove of Garlic, crushed.
2 Chicken Stock Cubes, crumbled.
1/2 Cup Fresh Breadcrumbs.
1 Large Egg, lightly beaten.

And Oil for shallow frying.

Combine all the ingredients together (Except of course, the Oil) in a bowl.

Shape the mixture into small Rissoles.
Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

***Note.....I usually have them with Mashed Creamed Mashed Potatoes, Carrots
and a green vegetable, usually Peas!....


Give them a try, they have been a favourite of mine for many years now!
