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…

What a time to go down… and a recipe for apricot chicken
What a time to go down… and no, I am not talking about trying to get your girlfriends knickers off in the middle of the local shopping centre… during Christmas extra trading. No. What I am referring to in the unwelcome timing of my backs ability to function properly going AWOL, and thus rendering me…

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…

Foodisthebestshitever reunion dinner/pissup part 2… Paul’s Caul and a nice spice rub
So Lauren and I have been on holiday for just over a week and have drank and eaten our way around southern Queensland and northern NSW, so would expect us to be well conditioned in the art of drunken eating… well it would seem that assumption was incorrect. Yesterday we arrived in Byron bay and…

Foodisthebestshitever reunion dinner/pissup… part 1. Three flavour crazy sauce
I awoke this morning to the sight that some rude bastard, probably a local pub owner or something similar, had dumped a shit load of empty bottles on our verandah. Yeah, great start to a Monday. The place looked like a fucking recycling depot. There was ginger beer, wine, various other beers, more wine and…
