When Bob was handing out taste buds and palates and the like, my Dad was curiously absent. Which makes dinner challenging when he comes to visit. It’s a question of balance. Something that Dad will eat and something that won’t make the rest of us actually die of palate induced ennui. That’s a real disease, […]
I whipped these up this afternoon when I realised I still had a lot of carrots left and no baked goods in the freezer. The Ankle Biters proclaim them to be delicious. Rat Girl AKA Lil Miss has made little finger holes in several of them. Bummer she can reach the kitchen bench now. Carrot […]
A conversation. Me: You know you’re dying of nothing more than patheticness don’t you? BW: Don’t cry for me, I’m already dead. Yep, man flu. It’s highly symptomatic, lingering, debilitating and potentially fatal. Or so the Bread Winner would have you believe. Me, I like to call it a well deserved head cold developed after […]
Now I know that it is hard to go wrong with a Sunday roast and a leg of lamb totally rocks in it’s own right. I’m not disputing that. If, however, you really want to take it to the next level, have I got a recipe for you. Yeah baby. Kashmiri Style Leg of Lamb […]
That crock pot fiend has done it again. Her Spanish rice casserole is totally brilliant comfort food. I upped the rice quantity (and pre-soaked it overnight). Instead of Italian seasoning, I just ripped some oregano and basil out of the garden and threw that in. To make it appear like I had gone to some […]
Sunday night at Chez KP featured the Bread Winner’s favourite cuisine, Mexican. Chimichangas to be precise, courtesy of A Year in CrockPotting. The Bread Winner was muchly pleased. I used about half the meat and one 400g tin of tomatoes and it was enough for the four of us. I made my own tortillas with […]
Bulk buying fresh food means lot’s of cooking when you get home. Particularly when the Bread Winner has not made lunch for the Ankle Biters and dinner also needs to be prepared. So, today the Kitchen Playground produced leftover coriander pesto burger and cheese in sandwiches for lunch. Adzuki bean soup with cheese and thyme […]
We did! It’s true. We ate out for under $8 for the 4 of us tonight. OK, so I’m being a little misleading. I packed dinner into the car fridge and cooked it on the free barbecue at a local park. It’s a beautiful autumn day in Melbourne. Sunny and warm, not too windy. Plus […]
I made pho for dinner on the weekend. It was delicious. Must post about it. Not now though. It presented me with somewhat of a dilemma. The stock calls for 3 kg beef spare ribs. The meat does not get used in the actual dish. So I was left with all the meat that had […]
The Bread Winner only got a passing bite of tortilla last night as he went out to the Comedy Festival with some friends. He did pause briefly to comment on it’s deliciousness. Knowing that Mexican food is to him as Vietnamese food is to me, I thought it only fair to have some form of […]
