  1. G’day I actually don’t like omelettes myself. My wife loves them so I cook for her. I finish the toppings under the grill and fold. She loves them so I don’t mind cooking them. Then because the grills on I have baked beans on toast with grilled cheese on top. Each to thier own
  2. G’day Well, cyclones are like that. It’s changed direction again! A real possibility to cross the coast. And by the weekend Its a cat 3 Now the longer it stays at sea the stronger it gets once it crosses land it losses its intensity. So bring it on now! before it gets to strong. We could do with the rain and definitly needs to be cooler we haven’t a day under 30C or a night under 20C for some 40 days now.
  3. G’day NOPE to start this day C

  5. G’day Poached doesn’t have to be hard and forget the vinegar and swirling the water. Get a pot of water on the boil. Get a shallow ramican or cup and drap a big sqaure of cling film over it push down in the middle and crack an egg in the hollow. Pull up the sides of cling film and twist sealing in the egg and making a tail. Using the tail drop it in the boiling water. Remove 4 mins later open carefully as its hot and turn it out onto a slotted spoon to make it easy to move. Easy and you’ll wonder why you’d ever do it any other way. C
  6. Gday https://www.visitbrisbane.com.au/information/articles/destinations/bribie-island?sc_lang=en-au Bribie is an hour Nth of us. So within 2 hours I can drive there, drive up the beach set up camp and have a line in and probably finished the first beer.
  7. G’day It’s not expected to make landfall so we are pretty safe. Everyone’s hoping that it will brush past and dump some rain on us in the south east. It’s pretty dry It’s had a big effect on the swells they are huge! The surfers at Surfers paradise are loving it but you average Terry the tourist is spewing as the beaches are closed. Me I was off to Bribie Island camping in a coupla weeks but a mate who lives up there said forget it ......the erosions pretty bad. Give it a few weeks and the sand will be back.... natures good at healing itself. C

  9. G’day I’m a firm believer in doing the best with what you have. Home cooking steak is one of them. It would be great to have a top bit of MSA butcher brought meat but that’s not always the case so let’s deal with a piece of supermarket vac pack. Pick the vac pack steak with the nearest use by date. Yes the oldest one, the one with the blood in the pac that has darkened up and is definitly not pink. Thats the one, definitly food safe but has had time to sit in those enzymes to soften and wet age the meat. Open the packet and that blood smell is quite strong and a bit overpowering. Cook it wet and the meats a bit stronger tasting than you would like. Pat it dry and leave it on a plate for an hour and that overpowering smell will go ....it’s a diferent steak completely. Try this, on a plate, pat the top dry and sprinkle with salt, place in the fridge uncovered. One hour take out, turn over pat that surface dry sprinkle with salt back in the fridge for an hour. This is way the surface is drawing in the salt and drying out the surface. And it’s always better left in overnight. Before you cook it, bring it up to room temp. Ow about this time your thinking this is taking a lot of time isn’t it. Well it’s as simple...as this a steak resultant steak is not always a better quality one it’s all in the time and effort they spend. Now to cook it. It’s probably best on a really hot BBQ and my personal choice is the Weber lid down BBQ mines a Weber Q gas, but whatever you use it’s gotta be hot. Cause your streaks probably a bit thinner you don’t want it to stick so brush a little oil. No brush rub it on with your fingers... works. Just don’t put the oil on you cooking pan/grate. Now the time to be disiplined.... cook a little bit shorter time than you normally would! Trust me. Have faith! Turn onto a warm plate with 1/2 teaspoon dob of butter on it. Over with aluminium foil or a upturned bowl. Leave for 10 mins! This does 2 things. 1....Yes it continues to cook. 2.... first let’s go it juices... then cause you’ve “dry brined” it draws those juices back. The bob of butter on the plate? Will mix with any remaining juices and pour over the steak... you will not need any other sauce. Enjoy!!!!

  18. G’day Jim 2 years.... sounds so simple, but if I remember rightly it wasn’t all plain sailing for you. You fell off the wagon and had to get back up. Well done and well deserved 2 years C
  19. G’day I’m Chris You guessed it another Aussie. Insanity doesn’t run in my family it gallops. I broke up with Miss NicOtine 0830 sat 10 oct 2015. I celebrate the first cig I didn’t smoke rather last that I did. On a personal note I firmly believe in any relationship breakup that its good to hate. It’s good to say things that you can never take back or unsay. Yes thats right amiss nicO you never made my bum look small, that was a lie! Living next to the international date line I get to start the NOPE pledge. ( yes this is a plug). So that’s NOPE...... Not One Puff Ever. And if the “Ever” bit doesn’t fit you it can insert “Ever minute, every hour or every day, it is about you. Dont forget though, I may have a white beard but I’m not Santa.... I’m not keeping a list and checking it twice...... Use the NOPE pledge as you need. Chris
