No, but happy to try. But I am a dab hand at  quesadillas, not the Mexican  'ring burners ',( I have 2 oldies to think of * )  but basically wholemeal wraps,  , bacon, leak or onion, capsicum ( red peppers) , and a little garlic, cracked pepper..perhaps any left over pizza meat, ..and lashings of cheese :yes:  Dear God I love cheese !!   Thank God for cows  :) :)

The trout looks  so damn good !!!!!!!!  

We're still using the carcasses from the  Christmas turkey & ham for  hearty soups.  We do our best not to waste food. 

Craw fish look a bit like the English Langoustine, and similar to Yabbies, Jilgies ( pronounced Joogies)  and Koonacs here in Oz . They all taste yummy , no matter what they're called  :)

We  also have Marron ( fresh water crays )  but are protected, and size regulated,  and can only be caught at certain times of the year to maintain numbers. Taste is totally different to sea water crays, more ' earthy' . 

 

* I actually love a good stinking hot beef or chicken Vindaloo or madras that almost make me sweat  . :devil: But when you have two oldies with sensitive tum tums, I have to be careful .   I've even had curry with chips ( fries) a ' ye olde english'  dish .Dips chips in curry sauce...mmmm:yes:  .

we were given a bushel of jalapenos peppers the other day . I now have about 50 quarts of pickled jalapenos half regular pickle half bread and butter pickle thanks to my awesome wife and kids, two days of work but a few years of good eats lol !! waste not want not.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Hope your foodie journey is going well. 

Massaman curry is on the menu Saturday night . Got the paste yesterday .  Never had a Massaman before .  Its a Thai curry. Its a bit sweeter than a regular Indian style curry ....apparently .  I'll be using brisket,thawing out as I type,   it'll go on about mid-day and cook all through the day  ,  

nice and s-l-o-w  :) 

I'll see how it goes . 

I just need a few more papadums   from the supermarket  .

oh yea I floured and fried a couple of chickens last night over the open fire. man i love cast iron. The wife made potato salad to go with it used those pickled jalapenos in it a darn it was good with that little bit of spice. I wish we had a little moisture its dryer than a popcorn fart here lol and hot.

We have the complete opposite, heaps of rain. Even worse in the east....floods. Thankfully no markets or events this weekend.  I've seen the bush fires in the UK and everywhere else. The UK is just not used to those conditions.  Heartbreaking to see, but  sadly , something we're all too familiar  with here in Oz. 

The chooks sound so good, and yes, theres something about cooking on a open fire, the flavour is totally different.  The jalapenos sound really spicy .  Yummy Potato salads, very common at just about every party, and BBQ here. Not complete without it. 

I sometimes watch ' Korean Street food ' on 'youtoobalicious '  . May not look all that healthy, but looks tasty :yes:

It went well . I didn't go overboard with the  'spice' , but delish, but next time I'll put a bit extra paste in the mix.  Thai curry pastes  can have quite a kick .  A different aroma & taste  than an Indian curry . The brisket was soooooo tender with a lot of flavour :yes: .

Your gonna make me buy a brisket before this is over lol. They are about 50 bucks here for a whole one. Last night was roast beef I had a ten pound bone in roast in the freezer from the tee bone section, Trimmed out the meat and tied it up, slow roasted, poked some holes in it and stuck in some garlic cloves salt and pepper. dang it was fork tender. We will be having roast beef sandwiches tonight, home made bread and the works lol. the tee bones will be frozen for later stew.

Here, its $16 per kilo, not sure what that equates to over there.  The size of the brisket was just a bit over a kilo. It has a bit more fat than gravy or chuck steak...equates to more flavour .  I also put in a few roughly chopped potatoes   & a large carrot chopped up.  Came out quite good  :)

My next culinary   ' adventure'  will be butter chicken .

 Yummo !!!! That will go so well with our home made piccalilli . Unlike the supermarket versions all mashed up and no flavour, , Ours is all chunky  with fresh vegies , mustard, turmeric fresh ingredients etc.  a ' secret recipe' ... almost. I eat it  straight from the jar sometimes. 

The left over massaman curry  and a previous  lamb roast got turned into a nice pie, ...with a bit of left over mince  ....with a bit of extra curry powder  . Scalloped potato on the top with cheese, served up with a few vegies.  Damn good it was :yes: 

Our $$$ are getting tight these days . Thank God for left overs eh ?  . Nothing gets wasted in this house.
