Bread and butter pudding is clearly one of those recipes that developed from a need to not waste stale bread. Well bread pudding and bread and butter pudding is a derivative of that. It’s pretty much my favourite winter dessert. One of my favourite things about the bread and butter pud concept though is tht […]
I do wish that didn’t make me think of Nicole and Keith’s baby. Really, did they not test the name out from every angle or did they just not care? Anyhoo, ‘nough ’bout that. Sunday roast can be a variable thing in our house. No firm favourites, no set tradition. Tonight, it’s roast chook. One […]
It’s possible that I often mention scrambled eggs. Or maybe not. What is certain is that I eat them a lot. They’re my staple weekend breakfast and I often make myself a serving for lunch too. Perfect after a cold morning in the pool. In fact, Lil Miss and I had scrambled eggs with feta […]
Porridge is quite the popular topic at the moment. Wonderful warming stuff that it is. Before I give you my method, I must emphasise that they key for me is thick cut oats. The thicker the better.

Some girlfriends and I ventured out to Barr’d wine and tapas bar in East Ivanhoe last night. It’s always exciting to get out without the Ankle Biters. It was probably about quarter to eight when we arrived. Tables and seating are out the front for fine weather and nicotine addicts. We were greeted by the […]
Of course.
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 […]
Lordy me 4.3kg of meat goes a looonngg way. So far we’ve had the original dinner, two lunches and dinner again tonight. We still have lots to get through. That’s OK, the trick is being creative. Tonight was a master stroke of genius. One thing the Bread Winner can eat is truly frightening proportions is […]
