• Braised lamb cutlets with bubble-and-swede… and a couple of things that grow really well on the south island of New Zealand

  Yeah, I know right. Who uses lamb cutlets for braising? Well, in the south island of New Zealand where the sheep population grossly outweighs that of the humans*, lamb cutlets are cheap as bro, so today I would do whatever the heck I wanted with them. Also, what is this whole bubble-and-swede thing, you ask?…

• Gumbo. Smoked lamb gumbo…

  Today I made gumbo… or something that is sort of gumbo, I guess. Best as I can figure gumbo was created in Louisiana as sort of a use-up-all-of-the-shit-in-your-garden, chuck-in-whatever-bit-of-meat-you-can-afford, roux flavoured, file or okra thickened, po’ folks type food, so I’m pretty sure that means I’m following the brief… and not even with a chance…

• Humour, Australia Day and Hipster by proxy

  Um, I have a question. Have people, like the total generalization of the human race, just lost their fucking sense of humour? Did we all just get so damn middle aged and serious? Have we all forgotten how much fun it can be to just have a good goddam laugh at our own selves, or…

• Slow Cooking the Winter Chill Away…

  The first chill of winter never gets any easier. If summer is the firm tanned buttocks of the physically active young lady, then the first chill of winter is the pale sagging buttocks of the aged lady… polyester slacks included. Yes, that is the first chill of winter – it’s a bitch of a surprise…

• Where did the good kebab shops go…

  Abrakebabra… and then the magic was gone. Yes, this is a story of my disenchantment with the state of the local purveyors of the bread wrapped meaty treat; the kebab. I remember a time when getting a kebab was a bit of theatre. A middle aged gentleman with a black moustache, button up shirt and…

• Black Rock Camping Day 2… banana cake and lamb in the camp oven (not at the same time though)

  Black Rock Camping Day 2 It was a bit of a broken sleep last night as I was awoken numerous times by the pitter patter of a good hit of rain dropping to us from somewhere above. *Fun camping fact #1 – although the sound of rain dropping on a tin roof is nice, and…

• Lamb & Preserved Lemon Filo Cigars…for your next Local Gerbil Appreciation Club AGM

  As I stated in my last post, spring is here. And if, per chance, you missed that last post, maybe a kindly passing stranger informed you too. The new season brings warmer weather, pretty flowers, songful birds, pink unicorns, waterfalls made of lemonade… where was I? Oh yes, and clearly it brings a few acid…

• The Silence of the Boys Eating the Lambs… Well, the lamb’s belly anyhow

  I ventured into the shop of my local purveyor of quality meats a while back to procure my good person a quantity bacon for the impending bacon week celebrations, when I noticed the butcher was taking the bellies off some lambs. “Nice lamb Graeme”, he said to me. “Looks very nice Scotty”, I replied. “How…

• Lamb shanks… and the start of winter

  It is officially winter. Well, if you are one of the approximately 740 million people living in the southern hemisphere it is officially winter. The nights have got cold. Cold like Tony Abbott’s bed (and if that isn’t cold by now it damn well should be), but the days… the days are still kissing our…
