Have a very happy birthday Lyle.....   are you having a nice dinner tonight ???

 

I will toast with a glass of Riesling with our salmon tonight...

 

Cheers Don

We had salmon last night Don, and we do like a nice Riesling. We had sushi for dinner quite low key.

We will probably do something a little more posh during the road trip. Maybe at the Banff Springs Hotel or Chateau Lake Louise. We would like to do lunch on the patio at Lake Louise, I took a look at the menu and it is just so chefy. I don't mind the ridiculous prices $32.00 for a burger it just seems to be a very small menu with very limited appeal. Maybe we can get a nice glass of wine and some cheese.

That was Sunday night for us, and 2 meals frozen. Pumpkin cheap in our area at present.

Yes it has been cheap here too, so taking advantage of it. I made a pot last week with with butternut and then this week (Saturday) with kent. It was $1.50 kg. I tend to freeze some  too.

Happy Birthday young Lyle, I got 10 years on you.  My sister's birthday today, 70 she is having a 3 day party at Mooloolaba on Qld Sunshine Coast with a group of friends, I was invited but I was not allowed to cross the border.🤬

 

Enjoy your day Lyle.

Ours comes in a sachet in a cardboard pack - just add boiling water & stir 🙂

Lamb and vegetables pie from local butcher last night. It is my favourite  out of the range of pies he makes.

Good work Neil, saves all that mess, chopping up pumpkins etc.

pumpkin soup doesn’t go to well with pies.

 

 

 

Or anything else for that matter, but Mrs G loves it so maybe I need to make her some.

Pumpkin soup is an easy soup to make and cheap when pumpkins are inexpensive.

Growing up Pea & Ham soup was a family staple in the winter months. Mum would make up a batch in a big steel pot (more like a bikkie barrel than a cooking pot) for the weekend & we would all get our fill 'til Sunday night. It was special soup that never seemed to runout - a bit more water & 30' on the heat & we were all good to go again. Good memories.

Pea soup is one of the few things that just don't appeal to me. I do enjoy a good butternut squash soup though. For me it's not "simple" to make, it starts by roasting the cut up squash with a middle eastern spice called raz al hanuit. From there it's pretty simple. I usually finish it in the bowl with a swirl of heavy cream.

OXTAIL SOUP, has anyone seen that in a can in recent years? ,Used to have it as a kid, home made and in a can.  I also had it a couple of times in 2012 on P&O UK - Arcadia, Sydney to Southampton.   Oxtail Soup is a British thing. Lubbly Jubbly.

I tried once a roast pumpkin soup but the flavour is just way too strong for me. I stick to old school boiling😂 but I do love adding spices. Generally I go for Thai style flavour but I have done north African style one with preserved lemons though I did add Aussie lemon myrtle. The flavour combination turned out more than I could have hoped😋.

I have made Oxtail stew many times. Love the stuff but I do it with a Chinese spice mix.

Yes, my mother used to make Oxtail Stew and Oxtail Soup, back in the 1950's and 1960's. You could buy oxtails from ye olde butcher, back then.
