CILANTR-O, CHORIZ-O, AVOCAD-O, LIME-O QUESADILL-O

CILANTR-O, CHORIZ-O, AVOCAD-O, LIME-O QUESADILL-O
Having returned from Singapore with more baggage than I left with (and I’m not talking about the check in kind), largely because I ate my way through as much food as possible in the two weeks…I am now contrite…time to pay up.  But then, I did tell you I was getting on a healthy kick…I...

A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!

A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!
OK OK, a little late for that famously Chocolated out day for lovers, but this is just a rework of an oldie on here, and it was for the Steam Oven a long time ago and in another galaxy! Named lust for obvious reasons, (which will become apparent once you have made and eaten this sinful confection!)...

CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL

CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL
You know I love a good bread recipe, and never short on food ideas, I am happy to say that I found a couple of fellow bloggers on the same wave length for these ones; Pink Parsley did an excellent recipe adapted from the now extinct Gourmet Magazine and added Jalepeno Mustard…terrific idea! But...

ONCE A TART…..

ONCE A TART…..
I know I know, ‘Tarts R Us’…that is what I could call this blog quite easily…and no other jokes in the tart arena are acceptable to me…so watch out! I did this during the week to great acclaim at the office and have to say that the sliver I managed to get before literally...

OF HONEY, FIGS, ALMONDS AND THE LIKE!

OF HONEY, FIGS, ALMONDS AND THE LIKE!
Well it was tough, but someone had to eat it! Luckily I made this one at work and the office staff were happy to oblige…otherwise my ever increasing girth would be even girthier! My sister Kerri provided me with some of her lovely fresh figs and of course I had to blog about them! I took on the...

THE FULL WILLY!

THE FULL WILLY!
Yes, The Full Willy! As in Willy’s Wonky Chocolate…its a long story, but after watching the amazing Willy on SBS and being totally charmed by the romance of it all, I happened to visit my sister and found that her husband had gone ahead and ordered some of Willy’s amazing chocolate...

PASTA LA VISTA BABY

PASTA LA VISTA BABY
I always imagined post Arnies corny line that if I should ever have an Italian Restaurant, it would be called Pasta La Vista…in the absence of such an occurrence, this is probably the next best thing. I LOVE homemade pasta and of course with the help of Thermomix, nothing could be easier. I dashed...

POPPING SINGLE HANDEDLY!

POPPING SINGLE HANDEDLY!
Well I have a work related injury, and it is impeding my typing, but never my cooking! I sliced my fore finger open like I was filleting a fish! OUCH…a roll of paper towel, nausea attack, visit to the Doc for super glue and butterfly tapes later, I am typing with great difficulty. With an enforced...

MAPLE BANANA COCONUT…got your attention?

MAPLE BANANA COCONUT…got your attention?
Maple Banana Coconut Fritters Well it would seem that you are all on holiday, while I remain slaving away in the kitchen…come on kids, comments make me zing! We are half way through January, almost the week of my birthday…(yes I have been counting backwards from 40 which will see me reach...

THE PIES HAVE IT ~ AUSSIE CUISINE?

THE PIES HAVE IT ~ AUSSIE CUISINE?
After many requests and many more half started New Year’s Posts (some of which will see the light of day, time permitting) this was a recipe I could get up on here quickly before the half way point of the first month of twenty ten was staring back at me. If last year was anything to go by, this...
