Yuck to all. Oysters are filthy fkn things.

I'm going to Toc tomorrow so I need to make sure Mum has enough food for 3 nights. It's a fkn hot day but I made a steak and red wine casserole in the crockpot.

I had takeaway last night, steak sandwich, chips and dimmies, Mimimum of chips is way too much but the left over chips will work perfect with the casserole. Layer them on the bottom of the plate and ladle the casserole over top. Yum.

Brisket tonight. Cooler day, want some cold meat for the next few days.

Picked up a small brisket, put a dry rub over it and left it in the fridge overnight, then seared and sealed on all sides in the pan and into the crockpot with some caramelised onions underneath.

Lob in some baby spuds, halved baby carrots, some large chunks of Zucchini, 2 cups of beef stock and cook on low for 6-7 hours and set aside to settle for 30 minutes before serving.

Make a gravy with the juices, serve with steamed Broccoli, Cauli and Beans and some home made corn bread.

Last night I made Mexican inspired chicken with cornbread dumplings and black rice.

Chicken drumsticks, seasoned seared and sealed,onion, green and yellow capsicum, zucchini and carrot all sliced into thin strips, black beans, corn kernals and a large tin of tomatoes. Bit of Cummin, Coriander seed, garlic, paprika, onion powder and a mexican spice mix of lime and chilli.

Simmered slowly on the stovetop, dump tablespoons of cornbread batter in with 30 minutes to go for the dumplings, serve on black rice. Fkn yum. Mum has a week worth of leftovers to last her 3 nights, freeze the rest.

Tonight in Toc it's a T Bone steak, medium rare, scalloped potatoes made at home and a side garden salad.

For the scalloped potatoes, I've gone lasagne style. Layer of sliced spuds, sliced onion, bacon, cheese, top with cream and repeat. Top layer is just spuds and cheese with the cream drizzled all over so nice crispy top and the cream all the way through. Cook that on 180 for 30 minutes covered then 10 minutes under the grill to brown the top.

Tonights dinner:

https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/recipes ... 5focp.html

Tried this out earlier in the week, busy day today so doing it again tonight as it is easy.

I don't eat red meat, so replaced the beef snags & stock with chicken.
Snags from the local burcher and used Campbells stock for this recipe. Only 3 of us for dinner, so did same amount of veggies but 6 snags (2 each).

Don't use onions - I like them, they don't like me - so got some black salt powder from a local Indian grocer. It has a similar flavour to onion. Used that instead of the normal salt.

Will be enjoying it with a bottle of Mount Avoca Lagrein (a red).

That looks yum. Sausages are so versatile in a casserole.

After a brutal 19 degree high and 15-degree low up here in BNE, the slow cooker is out.
This beef stew I made last night was really delicious.
