Today is going to be rissoles. Our butcher makes these densely packed ones the size of a baseball. In Mama, I lay a tin of tomatoes, thick slices of onion, potatoes and tomatoes. Then I place a rissole on the top of each slice, put chunks of zucchini and mushroom between them. Pour another tin...

I pay around $11 per kg for chicken, pork or bolognese mince (a mixture of beef and pork). Our dogs don’t like pure beef for some reason. Anyway, this is what I use for dog mince. If I want mince for something, and that’s a rarity now, I go to the butcher. The cheaper stuff comes from the...

Our freezer is not quite full, but close to it! When @bilby is on lates we fend for ourselves meal wise so I bulk cook things I like - veg casseroles with all the veg he doesn’t like and I do, and work may way through them over the two weeks. I also batch cook our dog food… generally...

I’d be more interested is having you show me some anthropological sites.

One thing mum and dad are loving about where they are living now is the ginormous lunch they get. Most of the time they are given an extra portion each that they take back to their flat and have for dinner that night. They get these meals for around $45 a week each. Not bad considering they get...

We had some good Thai food, including spring rolls, in the pub at Glenrowan.

These museums do give me a tiny hankering for visiting…. I must admit….

Pan fried ribeye steak (medium rare and well seared/caramelised on the outside and perfectly pink in the middle) with par cooked potatoes, carrots and corn that were then sauteed in the butter left over from sautéing the mushrooms in butter! I would pay $40 for such a dinner!

She is one celebrity who will be missed. There’s not many that can evoke that response.
