This makes a ton. I have kept some noodles and egg uncooked and will cook them tomorrow and serve them with some of the soup for lunch. Indonesian Chicken Soup serves 6 – 8 slightly altered from One Course Meals by Charmaine Solomon. 1 chicken, jointed 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns 12 sprigs […]
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. […]
I don’t know if I am just uber passionate about my food loves or that I can’t grow enough of anything to give a glut large enough to actually make me sick of certain foods. Or maybe a little of both. I let the last batch of asparagus run wild rather than eat it with […]
One of the many things I love about Son and Heir’s kinder is the little vegie patch. Over the school holidays, the silverbeet grew to maturity. So this afternoon, Lil Miss and I joined the kinder kids to harvest and cook some of it. Each of the children picked a leaf and then we headed […]
Dinner tonight was eerily like dinner last night. But not. Last night was steamed vegetables on noodles with haloumi. Tonight was steamed vegetables on noodles with tahini dressing. Despite the ingredients being much the same, the flavour was vastly different. I love the versatility of the simplest vegetarian meals. In fact, had I any tamari, […]
Just the veg and haloumi alone would be enough for me. The carboholics in the family demanded more so I added some dried Chinese noodles. A squeeze of lemon juice is all this dinner needs.
I love it when the state of the garden dictates our meal choices. Today simply had to be about silver beet (swiss chard). photo by MG Shelton, some rights reserved I rather fancied quesadillas. Much as I love my usual masa harina tortilla recipe, I felt like something more malleable. I still wanted to retain […]
I’m fairly sure mine is different every time I make it. It’s the most wonderful meal in a bowl. The dressing for tonight’s version was inspired by Jane Lawson’s Tossed’. The love affair continues. As the Bread Winner waltzed out the door tonight he threw a final comment at me, “W’s coming over tonight”. The […]
We like to mix things up a little round here. So I took a salad, added some grated cheese, sour cream and freshly made corn tortillas. Yum. Although perhaps serving beans for both lunch and dinner was overkill. Maybe we should stay out of the public arena for awhile. Southwestern Black Bean Salad from Tossed, […]
Parental brag first. So and Heir rode over 10km today in two separate stetches. LIttle champ. I bet he sleeps well tonight. The way home was harder than the way there but he made it! Now that’s out of the way, let’s move on to food shall we? You may not be surprised to hear […]
