New Food Bible

August 30th 2009 00:02
Well I now know where to go when I want/need to find a recipe. I was wandering around the internet and found a recipe for onion bhajis - baked not fried. The website is Chef Jeenas food recipes, and I recommend all of you who are interested it food go and have a look.

We had Indian food the other week and I loved the Bhajis, but they were deep fried, and I don't deep fry anything at home anymore. So when I found baked onion bhajis, I knew I'd found my bible.


There are all kinds of recipes on the website, vegetarian, meat, pasta and anything else you can think of. There are videos to help you cook some of the dishes, lots of lovely photos, lots on nutrition. It's my idea of a great food resource.

I haven't been paid for this blog post, I just think the website is/will be useful for everyone looking for good, healthy food.

Pork Bellies Tonight Crock Pot Tomorrow NIght

August 29th 2009 06:53
I love it when it's pork bellies for tea! Why? Because bellies are yummy and pork bellies are what my husband cooks, not me!

Graham is getting ready to boil the pork, then he will cook it somehow with various things, then more things happen, rice is involved and then we dine sumptuously. The reason I don't know the details is because I am happy to give way to Graham when he wants to cook something, and I only get involved when it is time to serve up the food.

I know which recipe he uses, so I know I could cook it myself, but why worry about that. If someone else wants to cook, well, every now and then, that is great. I know that tomorrow night, it's my turn to cook again, and the night after, and so on and so on.


Tomorrow night we are having slow cooked lamb roast for tea. I think. I know it's lamb, and I think it will be cooked in our crock pot. The only issue is that the crock pot hasn't been used for many years, and I don't know yet if it still works.

I currently have the crock pot full of water and in Fast Cook mode. I don't have a food thermometer, so it will be a case of fingers crossed nd hope for the best to some extent tomorrow. But if the water in the crock pot isn't much hotter when I check it in an hour or so, than what is was when I put it in, then the crock pot is a no starter and we'll have to ditch it.

I hope it is hot though. With my new role as a student, that crock pot could end up being a life saver. If the water is hot, I still think getting a food thermometer is a good idea. I'll check out prices tomorrow and get one if I can afford it.

Fingers crossed on many counts - tea tonight will be good, hope tomorrow will be great, and the thermometer could be a health saver. Food kept at cool/warm for too long is loved by bacteria. We don't want food poisoning, that's for sure.

Being a Student/ Wife/Mother

August 26th 2009 05:16
I'm at the middle of week three in my new life of being a student as well as all the other things I am/do.

And the most important point, in terms of this particular blog, is how much easier life for the whole family can be ig you get a little organised. Yesterday, while I was doing the one hour drive to where I am now studying, I thought, hmm, I must remember to get the mince out tomorrow morning.

Because I am wife/mother/cook and the rest of it, feeding everyone is mostly my job. And it is the part of being a housewife that I enjoy the most - I love cooking, it's creative and I get see, hear, smell, taste the benefits of doing it well.

So, mince, I decided yesterday. And wonder of wonders, I remembered to get the mince out this morning and leave it to defrost naturally while I was off learning about Dealing with challenging bevaviour, or whatever title they gave this subject.

And when I got home the mince was nearly defrosted, so the next step is to decide - spag bog, or something else. I know hubby and son would love it to be spag bog, but I'm hankering for something more creative than that.

We have some pastry in the freezer. Could we have lamb sausage rolls? We also have lots of hamburger buns in the freezer - How about Lambburgers? Decisions, decisions. I'll have to check out how many sheets of pastry there are. If there's only one, the sausages are out.

Hmm, still not sure. The joys of being the cook. At least the mince is there ready, if only my brain was as ready with an answer. Got to go now, I have a freezer to look into.

At least the dogs always love what I give them for tea. They just love dog food, YUM!

Whats for tea?

August 5th 2009 07:19
The son asks the question at least once a week. Today I was able to confidently answer, 'Chicken'.

Then came the follow up question, 'How are you going to cook it, crumbed or not crumbed

Warmer weather, interesting food

July 30th 2009 23:37
As I sit here with frigid fingers, contemplating cooking another casserole for dinner for the next week, I'm thinking, there has to be somewhere else I could be. Somewhere warm, somewhere I could eat interesting food that I don't have to cook myself.

But where? In Australia at the moment Darwin is looking good, 27 degree days, as opposed to 17 degrees in South Australia where I am, shivering. Hubby and son could eat crocodile and barramundi, and I could eat, well I don't know what, but I wouldn't have to do the dishes

Moving On

July 21st 2009 07:44
Have you ever had to pack up all of your things and move? Can you imagine a more stressful thing to do?

We moved to our current home twenty-three years ago, and way back then I said to myself, Never again

Steamed chicken dumplings

July 18th 2009 12:09
I am busily doing things in the new kitchen that I haven't done before, or haven't done for ages. Last night, for tea, we had steamed chicken dumplings. I suspect I threw away the steamer things when I cleared out the old kitchen, but I wanted to give these dumplings a try.

I had seen them in Vegas Poultry at the Central Market in Adelaide, and I've been wanting to give them a go. On Friday, I finally bought some and decided to have them for tea, along with our usual Central Market things - cheese sticks, bagels, cheese rolls and some with wood smoked country ham from Barossa Fine Foods

Enjoy Your Life, It's Up to You

June 23rd 2009 02:56
We all have to get older. It is a simple fact of life. We are born, we live and we die. The way we live, the lives we lead all impact on how well we live. If we take care of ourselves, it can help us live a longer life, a better life. But there are no guarantees.

And even if you follow all of the rules, you can still fall victim to some of the common ailments that can plague us. Some people seem to cruise through life with barely a sniffle, others fall victim to everything going around. Whichever way it is for you, it is good to do your bit to help your body do the right thing for you

New Kitchen is In!!!

June 23rd 2009 02:29
It's been twenty years I've lived in this house. Twenty long years of living with a kitchen I've hated.

I don't know the person who had this house built, but I sure know he was no style king. The kitchen that I have put up with, is about the worst you could imagine in a 70's kitchens built by a person who has no idea about what a kitchen really needs to make it an all right place to spend your cooking time
