Half Chicken and Chips
My friends often ask me if I still cook when I go home after working all day in a kitchen, or if I still cook when I’m drunk… or getting drunk… or just had a drink or two. To the first question I reply, “Why yes I do. I love cooking and cooking loves me,…

The Australia day prawn cocktail Yesterday was Australia Day and I was damn well looking to impress last night… and by that I mean I thought I was looking damn handsome and would make myself a killer Australia Day prawn cocktail. What more could a man want? Maybe his darling wiffy? Well, she’ll be…

Mussels times two… and this damn heat
H(eat) Day 1 Damn this heat. I saw the sun rearing it’s head above the hills this morning and it quite literally had fire in it’s eyes. It’s so damn hot out side right now I’m pretty sure Lucifer himself just came to my door to enquire as to whether he may be able to…

Hash
Hash for breakfast? Sure I’ll get the hash pipe… not that type of hash huh? Aw man, and my hash pipe is sooo impressive. I was going to relive my time back packing through India… oh well, didn’t have the shonky toilet anyway. This sort of breakfast lures me in every time. I am attracted…

Poached fish and potato salad with dill ranch dressing…
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…

Last post I did declare that I would be providing your eager eyes with a recipe for the garam masala chermoula prawns I cooked for the “Graz vs Queenie Challenge”… I really think we could’ve put a little more (or lot more… or even some) thought into the name of the challenge. Doesn’y exactly sound…

Graz vs Queenie aka. snapper and prawns vs squid and chorizo
Word was passed about the station… the challenge was on. The day was set. It would be yesterday, in the past. The protagonists of this challenge would be my fair Jennee’s brother, Queenie, and my self, Grazza McFilthymouth. The challenge would be set in our kitchen. The challenge itself? We would each choose four ingredients…
