as usual Finbar, you continue to impress me!!!!!

BTW last night or two nights ago now, i cooked up a stirfry with beef tenderloin, sliced into 1/2 thick strips..marinated all day while i was working....

sauce was soy, black bean and a hint of teri.....

veggies, snow peas, brocoli, red,yellow,and green pepper, onion , white, red and green , bean sprouts, and bok choy.....oh and some mushrooms.....

own a rice maker, so we had whole grain rice, with a crispy sour dough bagette......

if you dont' own a rice maker i suggest you get one...makes life a dream..and easy to clean...

bottle of red wine, Wolf Blass yellow label.....

key is not to over do the veggies...i love em crispy..but not hard......

Careful, Ming might pop over the border and lob on your doorstep.

Mrs finbar would've been there in a flash. She adores a stir fry. Me? I can live without 'em.

We have one. Or, at least, Mrs finbar has one. In fact, it has a steamer facility with which I steamed the snapper last Saturday night.

M-hm. You have access to our wines. Look around for a Vasse Felix Cab Sav. It won't be cheap, but it's superb. It would be a criminal act to drink it young, but sometimes wine infanticide can be justified in a good cause. I have a bottle I've been keeping for a couple of years.

Precisely. In fact, the key is to have the oil (literally) smoking in the wok.

Americana man, m'self. Hot salami and cheese.

Doesn't anybody like a nice Pinot Noir anymore?

Did Hydey really fuss about the menu? Come on, nephew...you must expand your horizons!

Of course, one can't be blamed for being a little squirrelly about eating half-steamed fish...

Yes I did.

Please don't suggest finbar would serve up something half steamed or all Aussie will turn on you Uncle Sneak.

Fuss about the menu? Hydey fuss about the menu? No, that isn't the word I would have used.

There was no fuss. Completely reject the menu? Hydey completely reject the menu?

You'll certainly be having a stroke if you don't change your diet immediately

Hard to find a good one here. And the very few that qualify as good are incredibly expensive.

Put it this way. Any food group that offers anything remotely resembling a vitamin or protein or anything else even vaguely on a nodding acquaintance with nutritional goodness is a food group from which Hydey will flee at a million miles an hour.

I think I've worked Hydey's diet out. Look at the price board at your local greasy spoon and there you have Hydey's dietary preferences staring you in the face.

But there was no fuss. Hydey told finbar what he would and wouldn't eat and finbar retreated to the kitchen to prepare it whilst quietly weeping.

That is hilarious! Is this temerity normal for your country, or is Hydey treated with special deference--you know, the kind that we give to lumbering remedials who shout out expletives on the bus?
I'm envisioning Hydey as the Oz equivalent of Lennie from "Of Mice And Men"...hope he didn't pet your animals too hard or anything.

Oh dear...what a disaster for Finbar...all those delicate sauces and thin sliced dainties, chucked in the disposal to make room for ground beef and cheesey potatos.

Sounds like we have the same preferences, nephew.

Hydey's actually a very nice, avuncular chap. Mrs Hydey is lovely. Though, on the basis that she thoroughly enjoyed everything put in front of her, I have to think she's the only one of the pair who will be invited again.

It wasn't even that flash. He declined a bowl of Minestrone, the Roasted Pumpkin & Celeriac Mash that accompanied the bangers, and the Lemon Cake with the Warm Berry Compote. I suspect even you would've forced down that lot, Sneak.

BTW, MOBIUS and his girlfriend are coming for dinner this Saturday night. He has assured me that he - and his girlfriend - in no way resemble Hydey. In terms of taste buds.

Forced? I'd have inhaled it.
That sounds completely delicious...what a tragedy.

Doesn't Hydey know that one can subsist on salami while sampling gourmand delights?

I could eat a hunk of deep fried cheese for lunch and follow it with shark tacos with mango salsa for dinner...

The only thing I will not eat are creamed spinach and poorly cooked liver (which is liver in most of its incarnations). The trick with liver is to get game liver, very fresh, and saute' it with elephant garlic, black pepper, carmelized onions and purple cabbage.

More like Eddy of the Hamburger Helper fame in national lampoon vacation.

The food phobias gave the big outdoors quiet he-man type a pleasing degree of vulnerability, which of course we are now fully exploiting

It was like learning that John Wayne wouldn't eat his carrots and was afraid of spiders. Hydey btw will only eat raw carrots - won't touch the cooked ones.

I mean, he mentioned this at the table and we all nodded gravely but I had to try really hard to avoid eye contact with anyone at that point because I could have easily lost it

Suffice to say my eyes watered and I had to purse my lips really hard

Lunchtime Cup of green tea and 1 Stras sandwich

Cut sandwiches, avoid pork meat (eat fish Hydey, you are on an island so eat fish!!! ), avoid oil and fried things, avoid bread .... and leave lemon cordial and biscuits for AH

Vegemite is an Australian icon. It's a very dark brown spread you put on bread or toast or similar. It's actually a yeast extract. And an acquired taste. People have also used it for mending tyre punctures. Marmite is a poor English copy of the same thing.
