Kevin's Watch

The perfect pizza cooking appliance Damelon. No burnt pizzas in your house, I bet.
Maybe a certain Kiwi, who shall remain anonymous, should invest in one.

No It shuts itself off so there is no chance to really burn a pizza by forgetting about it.

After reading Brinn's thread about sushi, I decided to have a go and make my own. I've been meaning to do it for ages but never got up the gumption.

I made little sushi rolls using cucumber, prawns and avocado ( I kept it pretty simple for the first attempts) and I had the gari and wasabi on the side. They turned out pretty good if I must say so. Rolling them up was the tricky bit

No sushi for dinner in this house tonight! I love to cook on the barbie on Sundays and today there are big, lovely, boneless pork ribs cooking in the back yard!

mmmmmmmmmm ..... barbecue

Work is too busy tonight to eat dinner, but tomorrow night I think I'll make homemade bread and bake up a bunch of macaroni and cheese for the kids.

Tonight:
fresh fruit
green salad
French bread
homemade macaroni & cheese baking up in the oven as I type

Pizza tonight

Pizza is always good!

Tonight:
chicken breast and wild rice casserole
potatoes and cheese (baked for hours in the crock pot so they are so tender they fall apart)
fresh corn on the cob
green salad
fresh fruit
ice cream for dessert

Chocolate icecream Duchess????
I had the pleasure of the company of my little niece and nephew today and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were staying for dinner as well. OOHH Lucky ME!!!! So I had the master barbecue chef fire up the barbie and we had burgers for dinner. My nephew Lachlan is a devout carnivore, it was the meat-lover's burger for him with steak, bacon , egg and cheese and a large dash of tomato sauce (ketchup).
We girls whipped up a batch of pikelets for dessert while the boys were out doing the man thing. It ended up being quite an enjoyable experience and I heartily thanked their mother and father when they eventually turned up to take them home.

Chicken pot pie
Broccoli and cheese pie
Cinnimon apple pie

I love pie!

Infelice, what is a pikelet?

Damelon, pikelets are just like pancakes only smaller in size and we usually spread them with butter and jam or half a bottle of honey if you happen to be my sweet toothed nephew. You can make them any size you want and the kids really like to make funny shapes as well, like Mickey Mouse head shapes.

I see, they are called Silver Dollar Pancakes here. Put butter and maple syrup on them......umm good...

Yes Damelon, maple syrup will do the trick just as nicely, so would golden syrup.

But I'm rather hesitant with introducing my neph to maple syrup after seeing how much honey he piled on his pikelets. He likes a little bit of pikelet with his honey.

That's like my mom, with her, "I only want a little bit of potato with my butter."

Last night:
fresh fruit
green salad
barbecued steaks
4 cheese mashed potatoes
cheese and garlic bisciuts
mac & cheese
corn on the cob

tonight:
green salad
beef pot roast with carrots and potatoes
fresh bread
some sort of dessert (not sure what yet, I might bake a cake)

Do I need to ask what kind of cake, Duchess?

I made a chocolate devil's food cake with vanilla frosting and candy sprinkles all over it.

I had a feeling!!!!!!!!!
