Had hickory smoked lamb, smoked salmon and smoked pork ribs soaked in Dr Pepper. A Canadian mate around the corner has a smoker. The 2 dogs had a heap of rib bones and are happy as can be. He does it every week with different stuff and yoo share the cost. 10 bucks today and I took home a half rack of ribs. I will miss him when he goes home to Canada.

Sounds yum.

I did some osso bucco in the pressure cooker on Saturday night, along with a curry potato and cauliflower soup which was yum.

backed up yesterday with the Famly over for dinner with a roast pork and veges. The old girl prepped the veges for me and just before the Pies game started, pulled out piece of paper with a recipe she'd pulled out of the paper, for sweet potato gratin. Asked if we had any cream (cos looking in the fridge is apparently too hard) cos he'd like to have a go at making it, if that was OK.

You want to make it, make it. Quick trip to IGA for cream and back just in time for the first bounce.

Sounds delicious

I can relate to being on hols. Last week & this week is cleaning, riding my bike, spin classes & getting dinner ready for Mrs WPT & the the youngest when they get home from work. Had baked spuds with various salads: home made coleslaw, shop bought tabbouli, mushrooms, Israeli salad: diced tomatoes, cucumber, spring onion & red capsicum (with avocado), kidney bean mix with cumin & tomato and of course corn, grated cheese & yoghurt.

Bathroom today (embarrassingly needed a lot of work) & downstairs loo. Tomorrow, vacuum the living area, carpets & wash the wooden floor.

Mrs WPT is making a spinach quiche before going to work tomorrow morning. I might make a small roast - going to spin class tomorrow.

Chicken Kiev and roast veggies, potatoes (not for me) pumpkin, orange and purple carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, swede (yuk), grape tomatoes, all cooked in a splash of rich glen garlic infused olive oil from Yarrawonga, and a handful of bush tucker dukkah tossed on the top. Cooked some greens for me too! Got 4 Yums! Noice!

Made the better half Kao Soi today.

Roasted the coriander seeds, cardomoms and chillies, assembled the squillion spices, minced the garlic, ginger and turmeric - got the mortar and pestle out and made the curry paste - the smell is fantastic!!

Loved it did he ( haven't made it often cause the prep takes some time). He's off to Zimbabwe in 2 days to spend 2 weeks with the anti rhino poaching Rangers - they survive on very little so best feed him before he goes!

Got the recipe from a place in Chang Mai many years ago - make sure you have it there WPT - num num num !!!!!!!!
