Neither do I. I like Coriander but many don't.

Anyway, tonight got a full house so I've done meatballs and vege stew. (I think)

Didn't have a recipe, just made it up.

Chopped up rough chunks of veges, sweet potato, purple potato, carrot, celery, onion, capsicum, cabbage, probably a few things I've forgotten.

Got the big enamel dutch oven out, fried some chopped up bacon then about 70 little meatballs in batches. Deglaze the pan and chuck in the veges, stir around for a while, tip in the meatballs and bacon, big tin of diced tomatoes, some salt and spices and some beef stock, put the lid on and simmer on low. See how it comes up, I've made some herb and cheese dumplings to throw in for a bit before it's finished.

Also made a beef and vege soup. The old girl likes the soup for lunch on the cold days, i take it to work sometimes, somedays for breakfast, other days for lunch with a sandwich.

Yep me too. Love it.

Some people have a genetic factor them makes them ill / nauseated eating coriander and others have no taste at all :wink:

Went to the local instead. Porterhouse, spuds & greens. Mrs WPT had Salmon. We shared a self saucing chocolate pudding for desert. Nice.

Fish & chips from Boys in Portarlington. Can't comment on the potato cakes, TP, but the flake, chips, dim sims and spring rolls were as splendid as ever.
