‘Twas hot and sunny in my little corner of the world today. Much as I love the hot weather, when combined with a boot load of lovely thick wood donated by my brother and my dad, it makes for a hot and somewhat grumpy Dani.
Only grumpy until the job is completed. Then we have a [...]

step by step Thai cooking
Posted in Carnivorous, Leftovers, Light Meals on Dec 22nd, 2008
Perhaps it would be wise to decide on the cook book challenge book before doig the shopping. Step by step Thai Cooking, published by Bay Books, is a world of temptation. Unfortunately, I am lacking vital ingredients for the most tempting dishes. I suspect this book will be by my side when writing my next [...]
Cleaning out the fridge…otherwise known as how to stuff heaps of vegetables into young children
Posted in Budget, Garden, Leftovers, Light Meals, Vegetarian on Dec 10th, 2008
One word. Fritters.
Working last weekend thrwe my week into complete havoc. Not being able to get to the farmer’s market meant going to a green grocers on Thursday after the supermarket. Aside from the horridness of the greengrocer when I am used to the greengrocers, I’ve had to stretch my fruit and vegetables further as [...]
Quick, easy Mexican-esque stuffing for baked potatoes
Posted in Budget, Leftovers, Vegetarian on Dec 3rd, 2008
Good old December knows how to throw her weight aound doesn’t she? Its only the third and my schedule is in complete disarray. So much so in fact that the entire concet of dinner did not enter my mind until after 4pm this afternoon. We generally eat at 5 (Anke Biter time) so this was [...]
An impromptu Cup Day BBQ
Posted in 10 minute meals, Baking, Budget, Carnivorous, Garden, Leftovers, Pasta, Noodles & Rice, Salads & Vegetables, Sauces, thermomix on Nov 4th, 2008
I love Cup Day. There is nothing as ludicrous as a public holiday for a horse race and I love it. We totally dropped the ball on organising anything this year but fortunately we have friends who are just as slack. So an impromptu BBQ was planned at 8.30 this morning.
I had defrosted some wonderful [...]
Broad Bean and Bacon Potatoes
Posted in Budget, Garden, Leftovers, Light Meals, Salads & Vegetables, Starters & Snacks, thermomix on Nov 2nd, 2008
Broad Beans would be so tiresome if they were in season all year round. Removing the pods, cooking, skinning. It’s a fair bit of work. Something I’m more than happy to do in spring when they’re in season to experience their fleeting deliciousness.
Joy of joy, despite my poor broad bean plants this year (almost certainly [...]
Leftover roast lamb, broad beans, peas and feta salad.
Posted in 10 minute meals, Budget, Carnivorous, Leftovers, Light Meals, Salads & Vegetables on Oct 27th, 2008
After the weekend’s birthday celebrations, one thing I did not feel like doing today was cooking. Rare but true. Even so, it’s only just occurred to me as I type this that take away is the common option for nights such as tonight. It’s just not something that occurs to me more than once in [...]
A summer’s day in mid-spring and a spring vegetable quiche
Posted in Budget, Leftovers, Light Meals, Vegetarian on Oct 12th, 2008
Today was 30 degrees. That’s 86 if you speak Farenheit. It’s going to be a long hot summer.
Which prompted me to make a summery meal. Well that and the fact that I had nothing planned, some scraps that needed using, lunches to make, no bread and not a lot of time on my hands. Want [...]

More creative fridge cleaning
Posted in Budget, Leftovers, Pasta, Noodles & Rice on Jul 9th, 2008
I absolutely had to finish that colcannon tonight. I don’t like the way potato freezes. Plus I have a strange aversion to serving up leftovers in their original state. So I needed an idea that would work well with a potato mash, bearing in mind I made a potato dough with some yesterday.
That left either [...]
