OMG, you live in an elegant lifestyles magazine of exquisite beauty, peace and joyfulness. I weep with pathetic houso envy

My life is too short to stuff a capsicum apparently

Mexican is finally starting to make a showing in Sydney but I find most places have been rather lacking - I do not think there is very good access to the authentic ingredients - except in cans and bottles.

OMG, Im reading slow-cooker cookbooks borrowed from library. Are you all impressed?

And expensive.

Where's my $2 burrito?! I'm not waiting until cinco de mayo to get a $5 burrito at Guzman y Gomez.

Not to mention Panama house doesn't actually serve anything Panamanian.

ONe can make thrifty Mexican style dishments at home if one could sufficiently motivated.

One chimichanga please.

you can get some ingredients at fireworks foods in north rocks or order online - tortillas are easy to make - and you can do all the fillings - beef, pork, chicken, etc... it is just the cheeses, peppers,etc that you need to get special.... it is really not complicated to make at home.

There are a lot of Latin American stores around Sydney, but most of them tend to be South American rather than Central. Good for asado though.

I love Indian food, too.

I have used Charmaine Soloman's recipes with good success - although I had to buy a lot of odd spices and I got a curry leaf tree - I tried to make naans at home - but honestly they are not like the ones made in a real tandoori oven. So, I either pick some up from a take away Indian place or I make roti or flat bread at home - which is pretty simple - like making a tortilla for Mexican...When I go out to eat - it is often Indian - there is a good place in croydon, hotel saravana bhavan - strange name but good food.
I want to buy some muslin/cheese cloth and try to make paneer - it seems fairly simple.

Roast pork met appelmoes en aardappel!

that sounds good - I love crackling - and you can not have pork without some apple.

I am inundated with rhubarb - after several attempts in which I had trouble getting it to grow, finally got established last year and now has gone crazy and this year is producing amazing amounts - I have to give it away - but rhubarb crumble with apples it lovely - and either a dollop of whipped cream or french vanilla ice cream - takes me back to childhood....


lentil soup for lunch - grilled steak and 3 veg for dinner - sort of boring, but I have veggies to use up.

Im having ham avocado salad, so there.

Yes, pork is uber gay
Alas my mummy doesn't cook for me. Ive only had some muesli tonight as I feel a bit stuffed-up as it happens. I may have some red grapes and cheese later

Hot Pot

I dont cook but had a really nice Chicken Parmigiana with roast veges and a salad at a local cafe/restaurant. Very nice.

Sometimes the best things are the least complicated - sounds nice. I hate when places over complicate things.

I'm making a Spanish inspired prawn tapas type dish tomorrow night. Onions, tomatoes, prawns, spices and hot crusty bread. Full report after I finish making it.

sounds really nice - I love prawn appetizers of every sort. I have little oval cast iron pots with lids that are perfect for sizzling hot garlic prawns.

mmmm prawns . Very rich but worth it.
When is the SS sortie? I can bring cheap wine and my own eating-irons?
