Well the food on-site has reached a new level of crapness!

Sodexo, the new caterers (and mob taking over my role) are fckn hopeless!

Last night was some pork slop stew thing or a Cajun chicken thing, they run out of eggs and when they do have them, they're the size of something your budgie might leave in its cage.

They have run out of the most popular beers in the bar... truck day tomorrow.

Sodexo = Shit!

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Not a big fan of the brioche

last night just had.............stuff. Don't know if there's a name for it.

Some cold chicken, salami, couple of different cheeses, pickles, pickled onions, stuffed baby bell peppers, celery sticks, dip and some biscuits.

Got home last night and had some broccoli soup that Kel made, basically just broccoli and onion, with a bit of stock which is delicious.

Followed that up with a cheese and sweet mustard pickle toasted sanga.
I don't do them in a sandwich maker, I prefer to do them in the fry pan over a gas hot plate.

A simple yet scrumbo meal after a week of camp groul.

Happened in Defence bases years ago. One place had no condiments when they tookover. Cost a bloody fortune to include them.Another one made no allowance for the guard dogs and wouldn't even give them meat scraps as they sold them to a pig farmer or some such.Another one did not allow properly for dining in nights. They stuffed up the diet so badly in Townsville that the local Mc Donalds made a fortune. Little things like hot meals delivered to duty rooms.

A visiting US General told us not to do it. Said it was an absolute cock up in the USA. These big companies chuck a low bid in then and make up the profit from contract amendments. The quality of the meals is not measured during negotations. The only decent meals would have gone to the pricks who negotiated the contracts when they were wined and dined at some seafood place in Perth.

Lucky I'm not eating rations.

went simple tonight, took a leaf from Skids with the toasted sangers.

I've got a small omelette pan which is basically two 6" fry pans connected on a hinge. Perfect for a pan fried sanger.

Sliced roast chicken, english mustard, Camembert and salami. On the side, some pickles, salt and vinegar chips and a couple of other odds and sods.

Yum

Mrs WPT made vegetarian risotto. Fridge vege's although she did use about 250 mls of chicken stock that was left in the fridge from last week.

Ice cream & blueberries for desert.
