A 2kg leg of lamb, deboned (that was the poochs' dinner :-), the inside of
the leg sprinkled with sea salt and cracked black pepper, spread with
seeded mustard and a bit of some hot Aussie mustard, slivers of garlic
shoved in some cuts, and the whole lot sprinkled with chopped rosemary. She
who likes lamb wanted it rolled and tied. I wanted to roast it flat. It was
rolled and tied.

Chunks of potatos, wedges of pumpkin and a couple of whole carrots where
thrown into a hot pan with some EVOO, garlic cloves and some rosemary.

Served with mint jelly, and a bit of garlic aoli (for me).

I think we're safe from Vampires tonight :-)

I've defrosted a prime rib steak....it's steak sandwhich for supper for
me. The steak was rubbed with fresh cracked pepper, onion powder and
garlic powder earlier this morning and I will cook a mess of sweet onion
and mushrooms to top the meat in the sandwich as well. Maybe even come up
with a dipping sauce from the pan juices... And toast the fresh cut rye
bread with garlic butter.

Damn the thought alone makes me hungry.

Sometimes it's easier to decide what to make when the selection is
limited.

We had a mis-communication this past weekend and we both shopped.
Louise also happened upon a store that was closing and loaded up on
things like canned artichoke hearts, olives, smoked oysters and
sardines, pie filling, and many others. The deep freeze and both
refrigerators are packed. We had to stash some things under the wet
bar because the pantry wouldn't hold it all.

I have no clue what I'm making tonight.

Nice to see you posting again. I might've missed some posts though. I know
you said you had a cold/flu. It's hard to think of cooking when that
happens, heh?

I tend to do this sort of packing-in food. I'm trying to change my style --
although it's difficult. Over the past months, I've tried to get most of
the staples that are doing nothing but cluttering my view, and try to think
more of planning. I know this will never happen, but I'm leaning towards
it.

I get overwhelmed with trying most days to decide on what to prepare
dependant on what's most expedient to use, how long I've had a certain
product, etc. It's starting to get under my skin.

I still can't get my head around the Tilapia thing!!

Ham and cabbage (diced and sliced) some butter/pepper etc and wrapped in
alfoil and baked in the oven is nice.

It's a Kiwi dish, and they usually put it in a saucepan and bury it in a
Hungi pit. I think they might use corned beef with the cabbage too.

WHOOPS!!!


Forgot to send what we're having tonight!!


Starters will be some diced ham, mushrooms, fresh asparagus, corn, a
little sliced onion and cheesy sauce vol au vonts.

Followed by eye fillet steak, with 'sides' of garlic roasted potato
chunks, with a crispy fresh leaf salad, some sliced vine ripened tomatos
topped with shaved buffalo mozarella, purple basil and EVOO.........
(and if she who wants it, I'll make a pepper sauce for her steak :-/

Dessert will be my own version of a "High Apple Pie"....... the quicker
cheats way :-)

If I remember, I'll take some pics.


And on that note, I'd better pull my finger out and get started!!

LOL!! Next time, I get to have it my way :-)

The lamb, suprisingly, held together and was quite tightly 'meshed'. The
slices actually stayed together and looked quite good on the plate.

It even tasted 1/2 decent....... although I *did* have that greasy
'after lamb' taste in my mouth....... or maybe it was just in my
mind??!!

LOL!! We didn't!!

I made sure I scoffed most of the Eye Fillet down though :-)


It's the first 3 course meal we've had in a
looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time........ I'm just glad I still know
how to juggle everything so that they come out on time :-)

So now we have leftovers for the next couple of days, and then back to
the usual.

Thanks Dee Dee. It was pleurisy/pneumonia. I get it every 4-5 years.
I'm still not completely over it, but at least I'm moving around.

We spent some time organizing over the weekend, but there's just too
much here. We won't need to shop for weeks other than milk and
probably fresh veggies.

LOL.. Yep. I looked at what was here and just scratched my head. I
ended up throwing a salad together. I'm thinking pizza tonight to use
up veggies that need to be used soon.

(Vegetarians should read the posts about wholesale handbags or cheap
Tiffany jewelry right about now.)

By popular demand, I made Singapore chile crab for the Valentine's Day
dinner. I took the day off for bureaucracy and a doctor's appointment,
so I swang past Central Market and asked for a feisty crab. It was
indeed feisty. It fought every inch of the way into the pot, but it did
not die in vain. I served the crab with jasmine rice and a simple
salad. SO approved. Nothing like a fine dinner in the NW.

Sounds nice, if not messy :-)

Do you know about putting crabs in the freezer for abour 45mins? It puts
the,m to sleep, no fighting to stay out of the pot, and they don't drop any

I usually leave them in the fridge until just before I put them in the
pot. Thursday's dinner woke up fast. I'll try the freezer trick next
time. Thanks!

DAMN!! You shouldn't have told me that :-(

I *love* Drew Barrymore (well, the way she looks anyway, she's probably
a real bitch in rl!!)

If she looks like DB, I wouldn't care about the fashion sense........
she'd be nekkid most of the time anyways ;-)

That is of course, if she doesn't smoke. If she smokes, she could look
like Megan Gale and I wouldn't touch her with a 10' barge pole.

No worries. The freezer is the most 'humane' way of killing them without
affecting the flavour of the flesh.
