Wooli part 1… Steak with Blue Cheese Sauce
We’ve hit Wooli. No not wooly, Wooli. Wooly is something like slippers or a word that is like verbal Viagra to a Kiwi. So Wooli, another of those cracking little seaside towns the boys and I like to frequent on my annual break. We have arrived at our little holiday shack which is adorned in…

Chicken, potato and black pepper curry… and my freezing fingers
It’s early in the a.m. Like, really early. Like, there is no chance that the sun shall be reprieving the moon of his night duties anytime soon. Nope, the moon has still got a good hour to go on the night shift, so that lad may as well go and get himself another cup of…

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…

Pasta Amatriciana… and thank you for Bacon Week
Sugo all’amatriciana (amatriciana sauce for all us English speaking, less sexy sounding peeps) is a classic Italian sauce hailing from the town of Amatrice. Why did I think I should tell you that?

Quinoa and Corn Fritters for Easy Mid-Week Dinner
I know we have offered up a few posts in the last couple of days and maybe I should’ve saved this one for a couple of days for when I am working too hard, or feel a bit uninspired, or chuck the shits because I have a little sand in my vagina. But the fact…

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…

The WTF Hotdog
The more astute amongst you would have noticed that there was no “Jennee’s Sunday Spread” this week. That is because Jennee joined me in my kitchen this weekend as my kitchen hand was away and quite frankly, I just think she was keen to hang out with me a little more. So she certainly did…

A day of celebration and recognition for turtles across this great globe of ours, and what better way to celebrate and recognize with them then to eat a pizza? Cowabunga dude!
