Food, Glorious Food!

It was a wonderfully warm, sunny, summery weekend... just perfect for dining Al fresco. And there was a lot of eating for me this weekend... pub garden lunches, Aikido BBQ and entertaining outdoors at home too.

Note to self.... 2 kg of potato salad and 1 kg of curry rice is probably just a tad excessive... even for 30 guests at a BBQ!

To make potato salad, boil "baby" or salad potatoes till just going soft, drain and cool. Then mix with Lite salad cream and chopped chives, salt and pepper to taste


To make curry rice salad: prepare some yellow rice by boiling rice with tumeric; rinse and strain and allow to cool. Mix with raisins, sweet bell peppers, celery, Lite salad cream, curry powder, cumin, mango chutney and salt and pepper to taste


 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Strawberry!



So... how were your weekends?

    ok that strawberry is a hoot! I made quite the yummy peach/raspberry cobbler. The raspberries came from my garden and the peaches were fresh off the farm.
