Chermoula prawns for the “Graz vs Queenie Challenge”
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…

Goochmas or Gooch-week or some other rubbish
Foreword by my mate Troppo. So it’s gooch-week, or goochmas* (not Christmas). This amazing time of year helps us celebrate all things in between, both moving and stationary. Sandwiched between two important events, it’s easy to overlook the feelings aroused at such a time. Christmas dinner, being an extravagant affair, always involves leftovers, which begs…

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…

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…

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…

Robina Yum Cha and the continuation of Jennee’s Birthday
Anyone who knows me, or thinks they know me, or follows my life through the misty little second story bathroom window that is this blog, will know two things. That I am a fan of the yum cha, and that one day of birthday celebrations is never enough. There are yet undiscovered tribes of pygmies…
