Church lunch – Feb 2014

Unsure that the salad and fried rice go together, but running with it anyway. Goi ga – Chicken & Cabbage Salad. 3x quantities. In broiling the chicken, there seems to be the opportunity to make chicken stock to keep at the same time – maybe throw in some vegetables, keep the water to a minimum. …

Church Lunch 19 Jan 2014

Lots of salads: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/20724/risoni+salad+with+tomatoes+basil+and+rocket?ref=collections,salad-recipes which was simple and reasonably tasty, but very reliant on the basil for flavor. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/7551/chickpea+and+herb+salad?ref=collections,salad-recipes which was good, and fast. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24060/chicken+and+mango+salad which I combined with the dressing from http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24060/chicken+and+mango+salad, a little harder, but excellent.

New Years Day 2014

I’m planning the following Celery and apple slaw – but with substituted fetta instead of goats cheese, and yoghurt instead of creme fraiche because that’s what’s in the fridge. Roasted pumpkin & lamb salad – with re-heated roast lamb. May or may not work.

Paris hotel & restaurant

Danielle and I stayed a low cost but pleasant hotel in Paris in the Opera district – Hotel Baudin. We had one of the better meals in paris nearby at Memere au Piano, 18 rue Jean Mace. The restaurant was warm, friendly and seemed like a place where regulars were greeted by name. Food was great, …

Balloons & Spires

A pre-dawn start today (11:45 Australian time… we’ll have some adjusting to do on our return next week) for a balloon flight in Goreme. I counted I think 102 balloons, around 24 passengers to a balloon so this is a serious business here. For comparison, the township of Urgup has signs claiming 19,700 (permanent) residents. …

Cats in Istanbul

I have a theory on national civic development. As countries move from some Hobbsian “State of Nature” through to highly developed, there are several key regimes of treatment of stray dogs. At the worst, stray dogs are food. At the best, stray dogs are lovingly captured by local authorities assigned that responsibility by one or …

Lillebonne

The drive from Breuzeville-Grenier to Bayeux would essentially take us through Lillebonne, so we took the time to stop and see the “Theatre Romain”. Somewhat hysterically, the gardening crew were mowing the 45-55 degree slope of what was formerly tiered seating… with ropes. A top rope to control the fall of the mower and a …

Midi Pyrenees

We arrived at Toulouse (Gare Matabiou) courtesy of an overnight train where we only had bunk bed (couchettes), not seats. After freshening up and petite dejeuner at the station, we went to rent a Citroen, but discovered, that opening was only at 9am on a Sunday. So instead we went to drop bags at the …
