About
I live in a friendly block of 8 flats in inner NE Melbourne. I have a garden in pots at the front door and two compost bins that I count as pets!
What a pleasure it is to come here and talk food!

A late night photo that doesn't quite show how good they looked. Or smelled!
The stuffing mixture contained:
fried onion, garlic, a little ginger, cooked chick peas slightly mashed, finely grated carrot, cumin, cayenne powder, finely diced semi dried tomatoes, finely diced preserved lemon, soaked (uncooked) rice, S and P, and I added in the flesh I scraped from the zucchini.
I microwaved the eggplant (pricked all over) for a couple of minutes to part cook it, which was a good move.
Next time I will salt and drain the zucchini's before stuffing them as I prefer a drier flesh.
I oiled the pan and put them in, covered it with foil (hooray for foil!) and cooked for 30 minutes, took off the foil, drizzled them with olive oil and cooked another 15 minutes.
Very tasty! :yummy:

Potato Curry with Thick Sauce (Madhur Jaffrey)
With Naan (Madhur Jaffrey)
and braised carrots and Brussel's sprouts (because that is what I had in the fridge).
A comfort meal, not elaborate, but absolutely delicious!![]()

Here is the picture of my potato and cheese bake with the beautiful French name!
It was easy and quick to make (then 40 mins to cook) and very delicious.
The broccoli, cauliflower and greens from the garden had a lovely sharp dressing that went well with the creamy cheesy potato!

My upstairs neighbours bought this set of 2 chairs and a table and asked me very politely if I would mind having it in among my plants where I could use it any time!
That was an easy request to say yes to!![]()

Here is a picture of my spaghetti dish with meatballs and arrabbiata sauce.
It was a lovely simple honest dish, I can see why it is such a classic.
I had never eaten it before, even though we sang 'On top of spaghetti' all through my childhood!
