Been eating all sorts of stuff these last few days but still no Croc! Maybe Saturday as we are going past a Croc farm? Lunch today was a pie & chips @ $15 at the RSL. Was nice but crust was a bit hard, been in the warmer a bit too long. However other restaurant options on the waterfront of Cairns could have cost us $60 or $70 for lunch......we weren't that hungry! There was a gelati bar nearby so we had one of those for dessert. I had Cherry Ripe of course....yum! F& C for tea?

Some crap at the hotel by the airport, they called it Chicken Sate' & fried rice......Thats not what ai would have called it~ We were too tired to go out and ate in our room. Gonna get breakfast over at the airport waiting for our flight to Cairns.

Eye fillet steak with mushroom gravy & veggies.

The usual eggs & bacon for Saturday brekkie, and left overs for lunch. Tea last night was crumbed Gummy Shark. homemade chips & coleslaw. Bloody lovely!

Went to a busy cafe in Sale about and hour west of home and grabbed some lunch yesterday. I had curried sausages and fried rice. It's been a long time since I've had curried snags and it was really nice. Last night it was Chicken Mississippi and fried rice, so I don't have a fried rice deficit ATM...Grin~

Home made hamburgers last night, it was almost warm enough to BBQ. Vegemite & toast for brekkie today and haven't decided about lunch yet??? I ended up toasting a left over hamburger in the health grill and having two small aples. Then Gael got home and she's bought me a curry pie from town! I ate that too....burp! A late invitation saw us out to tea at the RSL with friends and their married daughter. It was a fun night! I had the same chicken breast, Swiss cheese and mushroom dish I had on Monday night, still nice but 1/2 price (2 for 1 night) I think my blood sugar will be up this morning as I ate too much yesterday.

You've got a good memory!

A chicken & bacon risotto which occasionally comes out better than other times (always good though) and last night's was a good'un!

We finished pulling down our Easter Art show about 6.30 last night and decided to eat in town but the first place we wanted to go was closed. So was the pub we went to next....Grrrrr..Easter! Ended up at the RSL (Returned & Services League) which isn't great food but occasionally you do get a really good one! That was the case last night! We both had chicken fillet with grilled Swiss cheese and sliced mushrooms, with some kind of sauce. Gael had veggies and I had chips 7 salad. Yummo! Bella was crying and licking when we got home as shed been inside on her own for over 5 hours so I threw her rope for a while before she went to bed.

Tonight we had a small pie with left over ingredients from one we had last week. It was in the freezer for just such a night as this. It wasn't a big pie but it was full of pie mix, which to remind you was beef, bacon & onion but with the onion and bacon put in late enough to impart flavour but to also keep the integrity and not break down. I concentrated the flavours rather than thickening it at the end. Before you ask, yes I have tomato sauce on everything!

Easy one for Easter Saturday, a supermarket roast chook to which I added roast potatoes, peas & carrots. My darling was in bed by 7 o'clock and slept until 6.30 this morning, art shows will do that to you~

That Mara is shaping up to be a darn good cook Jim!

Meals yesterday were what ever we could get when we got the opportunity, but last night we had school whiting fillets crumbed with chips peas and carrots. They were yum! I bought them from the fishing fleet co-op the day before when I was in Lakes Entrance taking Bella to the vet. More than enough for two of us, well 2 of us and a dog in fact, for $8.00.

A few nibbles at an art show opening last night was all I managed and not unexpectedly this morning my blood sugar is quite low, well was quite low until I scoffed 4 or 5 jelly beans. Not quite what I usually have for breakfast~

We both had a huge day yesterday setting up a major Easter art show! Gael didn't get home until 6.30 and was almost too tired to talk so I knocked out steak eggs & chips which wasn't too shabby either.

We had sausages because that's what we felt like, and some left over baked potatoes sliced and refried and a lovely golden egg with runny yolk and of course need I mention, tomato sauce! Then a piece of bread & butter to mop up the yolk. Yummo! Not quite health food but certainly what we felt like.

Well done on the catch!

Butterflied leg of lamb and roast veggies...Yum~

So the square if choccie was 1mX1m? Perhaps just 12" X12"?

Well I had a big brekky out yesterday, couple of poached eggs on toast, 2 sausages, heaps of bacon, mushrooms and a hash brown! Then lunch out, a BLT toasted and a milk shake. Teatime I was too full to have a proper meal so I had a bunch of grapes 2 x toasted Hot Crossed Buns and a handful of M&M's.

Sometimes only breakfast will do~

Last night we had Chicken Cordon Bleu with small pieces of roast potato (square chips I call 'em), carrots & peas, then a fruit yoghurt and a few M&M's (yeah naughty I know). My daughter & family are taking us out for brekky this morning for my birthday as S.I.L was in Melbourne working on Wednesday. Looking forward to it as it's not even 6 am and I'm already hungry!!

Thank Jim, especially the bit about "old man", like I need to be reminded.. Grin~

Spaghetti & Meat sauce, or "gravel & worms" like I used to tell the Grandkids~ My apples are ripe and so I'm eating as many as I can but can't keep up with the Rainbow Lorikeets...they out number me!

Many thanks and you can't go too far wrong with a feed of fish! You guys wiill all be out BBQing soon while we huddle in front of a heater~ So what fish are you having? Bought or caught?
