    Which is what I started to do....until I realized I better stop....but perhaps as you are a little older your glass deserves refilling more often than mine! [wink]

     

    Diabetes limits my drinking these days but half the time I have a drink I struggle to finish it! Sad but true!

     

     

    A bit early....but that's the colonies, eh? Damned hot! [flapper] [flapper] [flapper]

     

     

    Yeah quite right you have to keep your fluids up down here! can't risk dehydration, can you?

    Nice catch there Digger. Wife's aunt wanted us to try a new Barbrque so we did. I had turkey and brisket with two sides. Baked beans and Cole Slaw.

     

     

    I know that you guys love Turkey but to me it's over rated! Perhaps it's just the stuff we get here?

     

    What sort of cuts do you BBQ (Turkey that is?)

     

    I'd rather Chicken to be honest.

     

    Do you make the beans yourselves?

    Snappers are sea fish I think. Are they locally caught? Or is that a lake?

    It looks like a nice place to live, especially if there are locally caught fish!

     

     

    They are caught mainly offshore here ME but the lakes here have all manner of other varieties to catch.

     

    The bays near Melbourne are famous for BIG snapper.

     

    That area is one of my favourite fishing spots and that same beach holds schools of fish 7 to 8 metres off the bank....if you know where they are.

     

    Here's a view from the boat looking back at that beach. I cast half way back to the shore for the fish, that's how close they are! Most of the time I don't start my outboard just use the trolling motor.

    It would be my dream to live within 500 metres of the boat ramp and that beach. It would be nice to take Bella for a walk there early morning and chuck a few lures about. The problem is that the majority of the houses we like there are about $100k too expensive for us.

     

    Who knows what might happen in the future though?

    Gael bought me home a tandoori chicken pie and a couple of potato cakes for lunch.

     

    Then tonight was chicken snitzel thinly cut with layered potato bake with melted cheese, peas & fresh corn.

     

    I'm full!

     

    Gael just presented me a big block of Cadbury chocolate and I declined, telling her to hide it from me.

     

     

    I'm such a good little pumpkin~

    Oh, yeah... And we took the rest home for leftovers for another meal because it was just two much to eat for two, and Grayson didn't eat much at all. msp_flapper.gif It's really a meal for 4 at our age.

     

     

    I'm glad you told me that as I'm getting fat just reading how much you guys have for meals LOL

     

    Fair Dinkum I am~

    Mrs V and I run a semi permanent soup/stew pot which is replenished with whatever veg and meat come our way... [thumbup]

     

    The pot veers between beef/chicken/pork and vegetarian pulses of any kind

     

    Lots of onions and garlic....and always chilli and curry flavouring

     

    We abhor waste

     

    A sort of benign Sweeney Todd philosophy, if you will... [unsure]

     

    Have a Nice Day..... [biggrin]

    Any of your neighbours disappeared lately?

    Visiting Missouri with the wife (where she is doing her internship) and her father and brother. We went fishing. Her father caught a 7 pound catfish and I caught a 4 pound small mouth bass, We ate then (fried them) along wth Korean Kalbi, Kim Chee rice with mushrooms and sweet potato on the fire.

     

    Another fisherman! You're my kind of people Tman. Good job.

    Saturday night:

    Chicken pieces rolled in gram flour, turmeric, coriander,salt and pepper - fried, on top of basmati rice with cumin and green peas.

    A favourite of mine - cooked lots and ate the lot!

     

    Sunday:

    Baked loaf of bread with oats and sampled that. Yum. Coffee.

    Later - Pork steaks with leeks, carrots, mustard gravy.

    Strawberries and blueberries.

     

     

    I see the leeks got a run.

    I fired up the wood oven yesterday and did a roast. The piece of lamb we had in the freezer was smallish so we added a rolled up piece of Pork Belly.

     

    Roast veggies done to perfection and I have now been dubbed "King of the roast"...Grin~

     

    Lot of work, so at 4 pm I had a nap on the couch,

     

    Scratch tea from leftovers.

    Good idea....

    I used to love those Fray Bentos pies! Loadsa pastry....famous for their corned beef.

     

    Today I skinned and chopped 1.5kg of French shallots and made shallot broth; added water, veg stock, bit of mixed herbs, garlic and let it simmer in oven for 90 mins.

    Then pureed and beautiful with home-made bread.

     

    Later a steak and kidney pie, carrots.

    Banana with blueberries.

    Oatcakes. Beer; still Friday night here.....

     

     

    Stop! You're making me hungry!

     

    I love things made with leeks. However they are a stupid price here and that puts me off. Your shallot broth made me think of that....grin~
