OK, this sandwich is very, very naughty but incredibly delicious.
Crispy fried free range bacon and creamy blue cheese.
My rear end is expanding just making one for the Bread Winner’s lunch. Lucky I don’t have enough bacon left to actually eat one.
It’s uncharacteristically cold and wet here today. Most un-February like. Plus the entire family is suffering from a rotten cold. I loathe summer colds. They’re anachronisms to my mind.
Good weather for soup though which is nice as I’m still trying to clear out the freezer. Poor thing is crying out for a defrost. I lust [...]

Or kinder, or work, or creche, or whatever else requires you to start wracking your brains about packing lunches. Lunch is my least liked meal of the day. I don’t heart thinking about it. I try and avoid thinking about it by having a checklist of ideas floating around the kitchen. I thought I’d share [...]

Day Four in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning.
We actually had a meal today that I didn’t cook so don’t expect a recipe for lunch! It was delicious. Probably a tad to much chilli though. I like it hot but it killed the actual flavour of the laksa. We ate in the [...]

Day Three in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning.
I had to do a small shopping top up last night, I bought more bread, eggs, rocket and a massive bunch of coriander. Most of which is already gone. I’m going to have to hit the supermarket again in the next day or so.
