Well, it looks like I am doing a pretty miserable job this year in the blogging department. I might have overdone it last year and set expectations too high gentle readers! So I will just share with you one of the lovely vegetarian meals that we cooked and ate last weekend. The potato bake was…
This vego thing…
OK, so some time ago we decided to go Vego at Home at home while my vegetarian niece was living with us. Well, she has arrived. No meat has crossed the thresh-hold for a week and a day. So has it make any difference eating Vego at Home so far? Well, I have noticed that…
The pleasures of home
Today is my last day off before going back to work. I have been off since the 3rd of September, with most of my time off spent in Italy. Travelling is great, there is no doubt about that in my mind. Here's a favourite quote of mine: Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,…
Sticky date pudding at the Prince Albert
Thanks again Pete. As if the chunky rissoles weren't enough. Roo and I shared the dessert, which was light and sweet and warming on this cold Adelaide winter night.

The Prince Albert does it again!
Thanks for the crispy skinned salmon Pete. I love the 'fish of the day'.
Viva La Tour — go Cadel Evans
To celebrate the tour, we are enjoying cheeses and some lovely sour dough fruit and walnut bread. The cheeses are Australian as is the Zinfandel we're enjoying, from Kangarilla Road winery. The bread is from Dough in the Adelaide Central Market.

Rocket, fennel, orange and almond salad
Rocket (Arugula to my North American readers) grows in my garden in winter. So, inspired by Amanda Daniel from 2bEthical who made a winter salad at the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmer's Market demo kitchen, I did a version of my own. All local produce including the olive oil that I used to warm the local almonds…
Lavosh, beetroot and horseradish dip and some prima donna cheese
The perfect starter to our Saturday night dinner - salmon, fennel, wasabi mash and steamed veggies. I think I feel a Riesling coming on. Cheers!
