Oh my... I just cooked a perfect seafood risotto.
It's a thing of wonder and beauty and awe. It's THAT good!!

I'm a pretty good chef and a very good cook, but Lady Boomboom got me a birthday voucher to do a cooking class at , which we finally used last night.
I'm pleased to report that we had a really fun night, Chef Ryan was interesting, engaging, amusing and even managed to teach this old kitchen dog a couple of new things! Our Sri Lankan banquet was excellent and extremely filling!!
Classes are BYO, a lot of fun, come with full recipes, very interactive and sociable, and highly recommended!

never was a fan of hard herbs!!

Nedlands Rugby Club to noon, come say hi and grab a cheap bite!

29/07/2024

Well I've learnt something today.

Makrut lime from now on, not kaffir lime.

Makrut is an indispensable part of Thai cuisine. But the common term for it — kaffir lime — is worth avoiding.

It's a bit breezy down Nedlands way - perfect weather for a roast beef roll, chicken soup or burger! Come on down

One of the things I've missed the most since our move back to Perth has been my herb garden. One of Lady Boomboom's was having some indoor plants. Today's primary goal: achieved.
Basil, parsley, native thyme, native oregano, native river mint, wild rosemary. Nom nom nom

Happy Anniversary to my person,

Fifteen years since we met, Thirteen since we married.

I have never fully understood what you see in me, but I'm happy and privileged that you see it.

Thankyou for tolerating my weirdness, accepting my many flaws, enjoying my cooking, being my drinking buddy and my confidante, supporting me through good and bad, being by far the best mother to my daughter, not to mention our furkids!

It's been a wild ride, and this new adventure is going to be bigger better faster more!!

I love you. Thankyou.

Leaving town in week, so we have a few things to sell...
Gazebo, never used, never taken out of the box. Bunnings have these four 199, selling for 150.
Bbqs, x 2, one with side tables and a lid. $50 each and I'll throw in an empty gas bottle.
Rubbish bins, about 40 ltrs I think, clean, used once with bin bags and no stinky crap! $10 each.
frozen pies, packs of 2, bought for a function that got cancelled. $5 a pack, 3 for the vego saus rolls.
Cans of Lemonade mostly, but there is some coke and diet coke in there too, leftovers from another function. 50 cents each.
Might find a couple more things to add later. No time wasters, cash only, first in best dressed.

Beef cheeks in Shiraz and native rosemary, sweet potato mash, Brussels with bacon and parmesan. Cuts with a plastic spoon and melts in your mouth.
Well... not YOUR mouth, but it melted in ours!
Perfection

A reminder re Farewell drinks this Sunday

10/05/2024

Allo allo Kalgoorlie peoples...

As you've probs realised by now, yer ole pals Lady Boomboom & Chef Shane are leaving town, as new adventures and opportunities beckon in Perth.

In fact, we are out the door THREE WEEKS from tomorrow - the 1st June - and we have to finish packing up our life, load a container with everything but the kitchen sink, and do all the home handyman maintenancey stuff which needs doing...

But it'd be rude to go without saying farewell to some of the wonderful friends we've made over the past 4 1/2 years - so *next Sunday, 19th May, 2pm, Judds/The Kalgoorlie Hotel.*

We hope to see you for a chat and a coldie and a laugh.

Bags are packed full of baking trays, knives, Tupperware and catering supplies for the weekend. Luckily I'm only going intrastate - customs would have a field day with me.

25/04/2024

This has been a long time coming, but I can finally share that my New Gig is starting this Saturday at the Nedlands Rugby Club.
Yer ole pal Chef Shane will be running the canteen (and we need a couple of staff if anyone is keen PM me) for home games throughout the season, starting Saturday.
I will also be running the catering at their function room, The River Room, moving forwards, and doing external catering in Perth again - so it's all very new and shiny and exciting, and there's a lot to get sorted. New catering menus are coming, 'all' we have to do now is sell (or rent?) the house and find somewhere to live in town.
If you're in Nedlands this Saturday, roughly 09:30 - 15:00 (back again on 11th May, more like 10-4:30 ish) come and say hi. If I can fit them in my bag (alongside the muffin trays and brownie trays and my knives and whatever else...) I will have a few jars of my Kalgoorlie Gold hot sauce for sale as well!

Unlikely to appear on any menu of mine any time soon, bless their figurative cotton socks
