Another day, another cook-off
Another day, another cook-off That’s right, another cook-off in our humble home. Something different, right? Although a good cook-off may be a regular occurrence around these here parts, we have altered the terms with a slight global twist. Or quite literally a twist of the globe. Yes, I had another brilliant idea; we would close…

Barbequed Chicken with Thai Flavours… and tales from the wagon
With this cleanse looming, I was smart enough to stash a few posts in the shadows so I had a bit of ammunition while my boozy, culinary rifle was shooting blanks. Me smart boy. I could bore the absolute shit out of you with photos of the various fruit I eat each day and the…

Prawn Cocktail for Australia Day
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…

Spanakopita by Jennee
Recipe from the depths of Jennee’s mind, photos from the camera, additional writing by me, Grazza McFilthy Mouth… Spanakopita is some kind of Greek pie. It is rolled in filo pastry with a spinach-y cheesey filling. Basically it is kick-ass. A pie that has kept many a 70-something-year-old Greek man boned up and ready to…

We would each choose four ingredients…

Balsamic beetroot salad with fried beetroot leaves, quinoa, soft feta, cherry tomatoes and herbs
I sit back today, slowly winding down and reflecting on my week so far… and by that I mean I am in bed, sick, sore and whining like the small child who needs his mothers boobie. Dammit, I do need my mother’s boobie… Actually that would be a little sick, but probably encouraged in many…

Stuffed zucchini flowers with cherry tomato and herb salsa… fresh from the garden I might add
Our garden is being particularly nice to us at the moment. Not nice like helping out with the washing, or dropping the kids at school, or watering our pet carnies, but nice in a way that only a garden can; by producing an abundance of fresh vegetables that we get to use in our meals…

Jennee’s Birthday Feast(s)
HAPPY BIRFDAY JENNEE A dodgy photo of a dodgy fam… Yesterday was the date of birth of my lovely betrothed, Jennee. A magical day indeed. The day started as if we were in a fairytale. We awoke in a mansion over looking Byron Bay and the lighthouse, surrounding by beautiful lush green fields and a…
