I’m experimenting with different mashed veg combinations. Tonight is potato, sweet potato, pumpkin and onion. We will see how it goes.

On a more serious note. Bilby and I saw this for sale today.

We are having pork ends tonight. It’s 9:18 am here and they are in the oven on 120C and will be so for a good 5-6 hours. Pork ends are some chunky bits of pork from various parts of the pig that aren’t big enough or substantial enough for something else. It’s never the hock, he sells those...

My best friend/sister has known about it for a while. After a gallbladder infection she went completely ‘whole foods plant based’ then vegan in terms of diet, not philosophy (she still has pets etc). She has been having vegan cheese for a while. It was difficult there for a while when we went...

Doh! I meant ‘for’ not ‘foe’…stupid autocarrot.

In Australia you can buy kangaroo testicles foe your car or as a purse.

I was at a gastroenterologist for my diverticulitis and she had an intern with her. After we chatted for a bit I turned to the intern and asked ‘so do you want to be a shit doctor too?’ The specialist laughed…. 😄

Tonight we had leftovers. Last night we had herb and garlic sausages, of which there were 9, meaning 4 were left over. I had a vegetable salsa in the freezer, basically my way of cooking up leftover veg into some kind of a basis for whatever. I chopped the sausages, and chucked them and the...

We visited a museum dedicated to Ned Kelly recently. It was all about his life and capture and had a replica of his house, complete with authentic verifiable Kelly belongings. It was interesting to see it and nowhere near as shabby as I had believed. Unfortunately, the whole town of Glenrowan...

@bilby and I recently visited the Parkes Observatory, made famous for his part in the moon landing and also because it featured in a little Aussie movie called ‘The Dish’. It was great.

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...

My mum used to do that too. I grew up with meals like steak and kidney and liver and bacon. You certainly kept quiet if you got one of those pieces.
