Hi all.. new around here. Jumped online to do a bit on gold research but found myself here instead!
I love a good feed so my opening post starts with home made potato pies. I'd like to take all the credit. But i cant.. Stole the recipe from the old girl.

Ctxkid. That's cool mate :perfect:
This is my new addition. Used last night, love the smokey taste. Garlic salt, bbq spice and onion salt added after a spray of cooking oil.
Took me 3hrs to drill the half inch holes. MRS wishfull was just shajing her head as I was drilling the holes in the brake drums. Tune changed after though. Lawn didn't like it but.

My son & I had T-Bone & vege last night ..... cant beat a thick cut T-Bone :)
Tonight Im in the process of cooking my un-named lamb hot pot.
I start with a lamb mince & diced vege, bit of chilli & some mixed herbs & a few spices. I turn this into something between a thick stock & soup.
Then I add whole baby spuds, halved yellow squash & a sliced red onion.
Then I add half a dozen lamb rib chops
Then I add a shop marinated boned butterflied lamb leg with sliced mushrooms on top.
I let this simmer on a heat spreading simmer plate for 2.5 -3hrs
Dinner will be late tonight, but Its freakin awesome

Im actually starting to enjoy using my Cyprus grill lately. I watched an episode of Food Safari the other week and they showed some fellow doing a Portuguese style butterflied chicken and I thought to myself, this looks good so I gave it a go on the weekend

the recipe called for it to be Marinated in beer, white wine and half a cup of scotch and accompanied with the needed aromatics.[ I was sold when they mentioned beer]
With that done I placed it in the fridge for 24 hours rotating the marinating chooks every so often. Made a peri-peri sauce for marinate and its off to the races :D
I missed out on getting the finished product shot done. By the time I got the chooks off the rotisserie and got them cut up they were all but vacuumed by the hoard

Went down to Geoscience Australia today - its well worth a visit. On the way home we picked up some seafood at the Fyshwick markets -

Salt and pepper cuttlefish for appetiser and coral trout with scallops for main. Shame Jannine does not like scallops much, I had to eat them all! Washed down with cheap Aldi champagne.

I do wish with scallops that they would leave the roe on so that I can tell that I am eating scallops and not giant clam meat that has been formed with a wad punch.

While the two do have a similar taste and some would say "what's your problem then?" my reasons are that giant clams take a lot longer to grow and mature than scallops, making them a scarce resource.
