Sazzy's Degustation Diary

Friday 3rd February 2012

Aah, I do love a Quarter Pounder every now and then.

One of the girls finished her last day with us at work today so she brought in some goodies to put together a platter for us. Yum!

I made pizza subs at work today to use up the leftovers from our pizza day yesterday!

Never any wastage!

WORK LUNCH - PIZZA!

Although we just had lunch yesterday, we had lunch again today.

Why? Because we can!
We used up the leftover pizza bases in the freezer.

Hawaiin!

I went to Mum's for dinner tonight with the lure of pigeon, which I haven't had for...well...since I was a little girl living in Goldsworthy. However, there was a change of plans as Mum couldn't get her hands on any pigeon so she cooked quail instead.

She marinated them in salt, pepper, Asian five spice, etc. She waited until I got there before pan frying them for me. Yum!!

They were cooked perfectly! Soooo juicy and well seasoned!

I ate one - for such a tiny bird there was quite alot of meat and not many bones.

WORK LUNCH - PIE DAY!
Yep, it's that time again. Last night I made Beef Bourgignon and brought some in to work today with mashed potato for pie filling.

We assembled the production line, with me cutting the pastry in Ian's absence.

Brendan manned the pie makers.

Beef Bourgignon

Melinda's leftover Bolognaise sauce?

For the vegetarians, I roasted some pumpkin and mashed it with some ricotta, a splash of balsamic vinegar, a pinch of sea salt and I threw in some pinenuts just before making the pies.They were gorgeous! I must make them again one day!

Rucha had some Curried Vegetables in the fridge and we thought..."why the hell not?"

Aah, time for dessert. We broke a bit of Kit Kat into each one.

The Kit Kat didn't look very appealing once melted, but the pie tasted great!

BAMBOO
Shop 5, 113 Collins Road, Willetton

Our good friend Kok Heng is back in town so we gathered for dinner tonight. Surprisingly, although most of us live in the surrounding area, no one else except for me had been to this restaurant. They were all very impressed with the food.

Roast Chicken with Plum Sauce

Sweet and Sour Fish

Today at work we decided to use up all the various types of ice cream in the freezer to clear out some space. There was Ian's mango ice cream, Ian's raspberry and vanilla ice cream, and about a quarter of a tub of shop bought Neopolitan ice cream.

We started scooping out the ice cream into cups and I peered into my locker to see what we could serve with it.

I found a banana, which I peeled and sliced.

I also found some dark chocolate, which we melted in the microwave and drizzled over the top - our own ice magic!

At the last minute I remembered a Flake chocolate bar I had in the freezer and we crumbled that up and scattered it over our sundaes.

How awesome is that!?

Dinner
Scotch Fillet with Baked Potatoes
and a Vegetable Stack

I used to make these vegetable stacks quite often. First, you pan fry slices of eggplant and zucchini in a little bit of oil in a pan and then layer them with some sliced mushroom (this time I used whole portabello mushrooms), sundried tomato and crumbled fetta. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over them and bake in the oven for about ten to fifteen minutes. Delicious!
