Chilli cucumber salad
This is a story about a little cucumber and chilli salad I have been making of late. This salad prompted more than 1 person to question its origins and even tentatively ask me to jot down a recipe for them. Firstly, I’m sorry but this is not a very good story. Secondly, if you would…

Harissa paste and then harissa marinated olives
Harissa is one of those condiments that is going to be a hell of a shock for your white bread, margarine and mayonnaise sandwich eating ass. Yeah, you probably won’t try it… it’s one of those things you “just wouldn’t like”. That is possibly one of my least favourite lines ever – “I just wouldn’t…

Kimchi – my new love
I have a new love and I am not shy to tell you her name is Kimchi. Contrary to what you may be thinking, Kimchi is not an oriental lady-boy. My lady-boy’s name is Mi Long and she has kinda lost favour in my bedroom court, if you get what I mean. Mi Long has…

Jamaican Goat Curry Mun
I am not sure where this recipe came from (although as I look at the title of this story I figure it could have originated somewhere in the vicinity of Jamaica) but it is one I have been cooking for many years and, as a bit of goat had managed to find it’s way into…

Carlos and Co. Port Macquarie, NSW
Driving into Port Macquarie by road you could be excused for thinking it is Byron Bay on some really heavy steroids. If you arrive at Port Macquarie by sea you may be excused for not really giving a fuck what it looks like and get your ass to the nearest reputable house of the ladies…
