Doing my bit to help QLD

This post will stay on top until Australia Day, 26th January 2011
Please scroll down for recent posts.

I have been watching the various news coverages of the QLD Floods - it is so devastating the amount of damage that has occurred - it will take a long time to recover from this action of Mother Nature at her worst.

So, I am doing my little bit to help ;-)

Please see my other blog post HERE for more details

More Butter Chicken ......... ;-)

I made up another batch of Butter Chicken from ccc#7 HERE

I make it up at least once every two months and it seems to taste just that little bit different each time - always very nice though ;-)

On the weekend, we wanted a light evening meal, as it was hot and I didn't want to spend a lot of time cooking, so we had scrambled eggs & bacon on toast.

I made mine up after being influenced by something I had seen recently on a menu at a Cafe

On the menu was this particular item

• Scrambled Eggs & Bacon, topped with smoked salmon on sour dough toast .................. $24.00

It was every bit as nice as the plate of food I had seen on the table next to me, but I it didn't cost $24.00!!!

I have a new toy ;-)

I bought the new Kenwood TriBlade - the one with the masher ;-)

We had mashed potatoes last night - 98% success - the mixer is very easy to use and mashed up the spuds in no time flat

I almost forgot to take a photo - this is all that was left when I finally remembered ;-)

Will be making Chicken Chasseur tonight, with mash, to see if I can get it perfect ;-)
