  1. 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!!
  2. Thank Jim, especially the bit about "old man", like I need to be reminded.. Grin~
  3. 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!
  4. 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?
  5. I commenced my 71st swing around the sun yesterday and started with a community fundraiser breakfast....hob-nobbing with local politicians, the mayor etc and lots and lots of lovely local people. It was a nice start to my day! So it was eggs & bacon on toast with a sausage! Last night a group of close friends and my daughter took me to favourite Asian restaurant and spoiled me rotten. It was a great end to a lovely day and I consider myself very lucky. I had Sate' Chicken & fried rice and it was yummy.
  6. I was getting worried there for a second but then saw you remembered the tomato sauce...whew!
  7. Fillet Mignon last night for tea and we're off early to a benefit breakfast hosted for an accomodation attached to our major hospital for the area. It's all good and will be plenty social as we know heaps of people that go to this.
  8. Thanks mate, just the right time for a new barby, hope you enjoy it heaps.
  9. I made a Beef, Bacon & Onion Pie for last night. The trick is not to add the bacon & onion rings too early otherwise it breaks up and disappears. If you leave it too late then it doesn't impart it's flavours. Lots of it left for lunches and another main meal.
  10. Yesterday was th 38th anniversary of Gael and I living together and we were intending to go out for tea but as we were in town we had lunch instead. Went to the bowling club and I ordered Chicken Sate' and rice to be given 3 tiny bits of chook and about half a cup of boiled rice, not enough to fill anyone I reckon. Fortunately they have an extensive veggie and salad bar so I loaded up on those. Just had bits & pieces for tea, not really hungry.
  11. For brekky I had a cheese & ham toasted sandwich smothered in baked beans. Lunch was an egg, lettuce and mayo roll and an apple. Tea wasn't quite a mixed grill but there were beef sausages, 2 lamb chopps peas, carrots & mash plus a mixture of onion, tomato & zucchini topped with breadcrumbs & cheese & grilled. Here ya go:
  12. Fish & chips on the beach tonight....no dishes...Grin~
  13. We get them from our supermarket but they are $8 here, also delicious.
  14. Yep I eat that...it's yummy! Fat beef sausages, chips and a couple of our fresh eggs smothered in tomato sauce! Incidentally both my cholesterol levels are excellent! Last night we had Gael's sister Roz and her bloke come for tea. Gael did her pot Roasted beef and roast veggies. It was a memorable meal!
  15. Yep beer battered chips is quite the thing here these days and they are quite nice though probably not that good for you. I eat too much potato, love the stuff! I'll have them any way they are going! The potatoes we had last night were lovely though just boiled. We are seeing varieties we haven't had before and most are for a specific type of cooking, and I guess that means we have to have a couple of types now and buy more spuds as a result. Speaking of what we are eating, my Golden Delicious apples are just about ripe and I've started to eat them. They are still slightly tart but soon they will be exquisite. I like that tartness anyway and that's why Pink Lady are an overall favourite, both sweet and tart at the same time. You can't beat the juiciness of home grown apples though!
  16. If I remember correctly, they were beer battered wedges, they were nice but too many of them.
  17. We met friends in town for lunch yesterday and this was mine! Yes in true Aussie style it had a runny egg and beetroot....Yum! I'm sure people thing I'm mad taking photos of my meal and I've given up explaining about photos being for this thread, but I had an i Pad with me, so why not? Strangely I didn't need much for tea!
  18. Managed another BBQ last night and I cooked thin slices of crumbed chicken breast, potatoes and corn on the cob and peas too. Stayed out until about 8.30.
  19. I like my eggs runny but not the whites, that's ridiculous!
  20. Roast lamb & veggies last night....to die for! One of the best ever!
  21. Farmers here at times are facing harsh conditions, low fertility soil plus years of drought mean that sometimes when they are looking at losing holdings that have been in their families for generations, they cant face seeing it going to the banks. Very sad because they are really good farmers but just cant beat nature. I have to have an egg on my hamburger Butch, no good without one! Aussies also love beetroot on hamburgers and if you haven't tried one, give it a go! Roast lamb tonight! Smells great! Time for me to do the veggies.
  22. Mako shark crumbed and cooked on the BBQ. Humans: 1 Sharks: Nil
