Salsa verde… a green sauce for steak and chicken and just about anything
Salsa verde. Literally translated this means green sauce. No mention of rocket science here so it kinda implies that even you’re going to be able to pull this one off! Also, with it’s literal name, the initials GS could also stand for “good shit”, as this is well and truly what salsa verde is –…

How to make mayonnaise… with the Mayonnaise Nazi
The Mayonnaise Nazi “Who is that man in the red mask? That devilishly tall, handsome masked man? The one with the Hitler moustache? The guy who is constantly harping on about how everyone in this world and the next should be making their own mayonnaise…” OK folks, I stand before you as my blogland audience…

Another day, another cook-off part 2
The dishes of Grazza McFilthy Mouth So, as I previously promised you fine folks (hell yeah I’m talking to you) that I would post recipes for the dishes we cooked in our now legendary cook-off this week, I feel somewhat obliged to actually come through with the goods.

A steak sandwich just so I get to use my homemade tomato sauce
As I stated in the title of this piece, this steak sandwich happened to come into my possession purely for the purpose of carrying my home made tomato sauce to my face. I could’ve just drank it but, quite frankly, that shit just looks plain wrong. Make a steak sandwich exactly like you would make…

It is a cruel hot sun out there at the moment. It’s the kind of sun that turns old people into stone when it’s rays hit their frail skin and burns small children to a cinder… and then it walks away laughing. I didn’t even need to use salt on the food in the kitchen…

Chutneys to get you through Christmas and the farmyard worth of leftover meat you may or may not have
Straight into the recipes with this one. I don’t have anything to say about condiments that I haven’t said before. You know I love this shit, but then again who doesn’t like condiments? Condiments with breakfast? Condiments with christmas lunch? Condiments with three days worth of left over meats? Comunists, that’s who doesn’t like condiments and…

The race that stopped a nation… and the burger that helped me survive the day…
The Melbourne Cup… and a day when only a burger will do… So there it was. Yesterday was the race that stops a nation. I mean, obviously the nation started up again a minute or two later, but it was that race. I’m sure some kind of four legged equine beast won and I’m also…
