Heirloom tomatoes with real buffalo mozz. fresh basil chiffonade and queen creek extra virgin olive oil a splash of balsamic kosher salt and fresh ground pepper....watermelon radish garnish.
pan sauteed halibut with a vigoner dill buerre blanc, lots of fresh baby veggies...briefly blanched then pan sauteed in butter lemon and lots of pepper
chocolate chip cookies for dessert... (marthas cakey ones... I tweaked them or bastardized them as my ex husband used to call my inability to stick to a recipe), added more butter and more sugar.

Tonight we took a pounding weather wise and the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife so we followed Ninja's lead from the other night. Papa John's 3 with 3 for 7 each. In fact because I lost my appetite with the duck and cover drill we had to perform halfway through my second piece (bad medicine night too) I just fired down a slice loaded with some sliced jalps for a little extra umph. All in all it's not a bad deal the 3 for 21 bucks. We each get what we like and have leftovers too and since the DW is taking the DD to work with her tomorrow I have breakfast covered.

Nuttin better than cold pizza (or lasagne) for breakfast. Too bad we don't have any lasagne.

I made pan seared pork tenderloin medalions in a red wine sauce, served with baked sweet potatoes and baby peas. I'm usually pretty much a chicken cooking girl, but the more relaxed summer pace affords me some extra time to think and add some variety to our meals.

tonight im going to do warm winter food, we are going to have a lamb casserole not sure if i want to do an apricot and walnut style or a vegetable and red wine reduction style with israeli couscous and then going to have a freshmade apple pie for dessert. that should make my darling man whos been sick with a cold feel a bit better

im so envious of you all enjoying summer at the moment, its winter here and im just so over it i hate being cold

its so hard to believe its winter down under, seems like it would always be idyllic there.
Your dinner sounds fantastic... I love lamb and apple pie is a fave...your man is lucky!!!!

Tonight for a customer I made: Yo Mamas Veggie Beef Soup, Linguinine with fresh clams and lots of garlic and butter and parsley, fried chicken, a butter lettuce salad with a great goat cheese, red onion and nectarines, and pizza...margarita and with pepperoni. Alot of food... I don't go back to them until Sunday.

When I got home I made sauteed peaches and bananas with brown sugar and butter and meyers dark rum for my daughter and her boyfriend. It stormed tonight in the desert, our first monsoon of the season...awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice to get cold enough weather down here to justify cooking northern hemisphere winter dishes...mind you it's a bit marginal the temp doesn't really get down to freezing point even in mid-winter, it just feels colder because none of the buildings have proper heating systems

Slow braised shoulder of goat is one the menu tonight, it's been simmering gently in the oven for nearly 5 hours now with sofrito, red wine, tomato, saffron, chorizo and a couple of heads of garlic. The other oven has a beef rib roast that is cooking for 24 hours @ 60 celsius for tomorrow night....the combined smell is just indescribable.

Winter isn't exactly grim down here, especially as we've got pods of migrating whales passing by at the moment...

Taught the DD and DW on how to make BST (bacon, spinach and tomato) wraps for lunch. They had those; New product in the area- Colemans bacon I thought we'd give a try, not bad, baby leaf spinach and Hanover Tomatoes which have started arriving in the stores. Gave Dukes mayo a try for the very first time. Typically it's Hellmans.

Had only two wraps left so I had the traditional BLT on toasted Ciabatta. Finished off the last of the Loaded Baked potato salad we mad last Sat and some marinated Cucumber and carrot salad.

Dinner was simple too. Italian beef sand on french bread. I made the DD and DW's with some Jarlsburg that the DD picked out at the store yesterday and sides were mac and cheese and green beans with bacon bits.

Tomorrow the DD is off to the Great Wolf Lodge with some friends so It's a night out on the town of dinner and a movie. Have a $50 meal card at Olive Garden so, hey it's free so I ain't complaining regardless of the food it's FREE!

Bruce has been unwell with a dreadful cold, so i made him my feel good soup yesterday, a chicken, vegetable and noodle soup with garlic and chilli, fresh herbs and good chicken stock for lunch
Last night i made slow roasted beef , seasoned it with garlic, black pepper, salt, a mix of herbs and olive oil and served it with a really nice dark jus lie, roasted potatoes, kumera, pumpkin, onions, and parsnips mmmmmmmmmm it was so good .... real comfort food on a cold night
this morning it was a cooked breaky kind of day roasted tomatoes, roasted mushrooms, grilled bacon, chicken sausage, sauted left over potatoes and kumera from last night, poached eggs, and whole grain toast. very filling and lasting the whole day and good on a cold sunday morning.
Tonight its going to be home made hamburgers, with gourmet lettuce, tomatoes, onions, blue cheese, bacon,beetroot.great quality minced beef and tomato salsa with left over apple pie for dessert

really easy simple but very wholesome food, that is always great when its cold
