, Birdymum.

when our supper is finshed I should think what there will be tomorrow morning to be a serious lunchbox for my son
but I ususally think about this before I wake up    

Spicy, sticky beef ribs with a baked potato, sour cream and coleslaw.

My birthday "wish book" finally arrived a month late. But it was worth it: "jerusalem" by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi.

Am cooking from it for the first time: Open Kibbeh. 15MM it aint! But, apart from the ground/minced lamb I had everything else. Popped out to my butcher while the rest of the nation was watching the Melbourne Cup ("the horse race that stops a nation"). Was back in 15 minutes.

It is smelling wonderful. Will serve with tabbouleh which will probably lead to bulgar overload and watch Jamie's 15MM at the same time.

morning gorgeous crazy people

im on the pc for a change & there were a billion thread replies hich obviously are not coming down to my iphone so i thought i best pop in...

its warm here & a kind neighbour gave us 8 purple oak leaf lettuce heads so you know we are eating loads of salad.

Also last night i made this sauce in the blender that was mostly soy sauce, peanut butter, chilli, garlic & ginger -- which thinned down makes a great  dressing for rice noodle salads.


I made the Clayton a kitkat cake for his birthday last week0.. got it pretty well spot on - cant link pics in from photobucket to the blogs so that is why there havent been any posts..

i di miss this place & hope everything is good for everyone in the lead up to the holidays..

much love

xx
