I cut the potato into slices but didn't cut all the way through on the bottom. Then I cooked it in the microwave and added some grated parmesan and cooked it for another thirty seconds until the cheese melted a bit. Too lazy to wait for it to bake in the oven!

Scotch Fillet with Butter Roasted Potatoes, steamed Beans & Chilli Garlic Prawns

Ooh this was far better than the mango ice cream, in my opinion! Even though Ian no longer works with us in the lab, I have taught him well so that he still knows to send us some food for our weekly lunches!

I have never cooked kangaroo before. I never used to want to even eat it because as a child growing up in the Pilbara, we used to nurse joeys when their mothers were injured or killed on the roads. I've tasted it when other people have ordered it when we eat out, but I have never ordered a whole steak to myself, much less cooked it.
Today was a day of firsts for me.
I bought some kangaroo fillet steaks from Woolworths that were on sale. I know that the meat is lean but you can't over cook it or it will be dry. The steak fillets were marinated in a herb and garlic sauce and the instructions said that although kangaroo steaks should be eaten medium rare, the marinade contained a tenderiser so even if we cook it well done, the meat should not be tough.
I cooked the steaks for a few minutes each side, aiming for medium rare.
I prepared a fresh salad of Mum's homegrown lettuce, cucumber, mushroom and baby asparagus spears.
Another first for me was cooking potatoes in the microwave. I only had two small potatoes left in the pantry so there was no point in parboiling them and roasting them. I put them into the microwave and selected the 'vegetables' function and the microwave used its sensor function to cook the potatoes. After a few minutes, the potatoes were cooked but still had a little crunch to them. I could have zapped them for another thirty seconds or so but I like the crunch when I'm eating potatoes in salads.
The steak was cooked perfectly.
Aside from a few little strands of sinew in the steak, it really was very tender and lean. It's got a gamey taste, that's for sure. It may be an acquired taste for some people but I think I can really enjoy adding kangaroo into my repertoire in the future!

Oooh we were famished by the time we got to the restaurant and were dreading the anticipated wait for a table but Kong managed to get one for us by the time we had parked the car. Woo!
We ordered like crazy, hungry people.

It has been a while since I have had dim sum so I was really looking forward to today's impromptu lunch date with some friends in the city. Aah, Dim Sum, how I have missed you!

I got home late from work tonight after running a few errands. No one was home to eat the steak that Mum had cooked so I had some for dinner.
T-Bone with Mashed Potatoes and Stirfried Beans & Broccoli
I don't generally eat T-bone because I can't be bothered cutting around the bone! Mum had seasoned it well but it was a little too overcooked for my liking. I'm heading towards medium-rare now!

We had a feast of fresh bread, ham, salami, cheeses, olives, relishes, dips and fresh fruit today.
