I have today boned out 3 chickens and defrosted 1.0 kg of Lamb shank meat.

Whilst I am currently defrosting 900gm of steak and kidney, brought about by the need to cook something to wash down with a 2005 Chateau Musar which I opened for a wine tasting and now need to finish up before it is too late

Unfortunately, out here Phil we don't get Atlantic Cod, which is a shame because it looks great.  We do have other delicious fish and the recommended substitute is one called Blue-eye Trevalla (blue eye cod) which is a deep water species.  Just as unfortunate though is the difficulty we have obtaining our own best resources, not to mention the cost, so even if you can find it you might expect to pay Aus $60 / kg.  I'm always happy to settle for beer battered Flathead.  We have Chateau de Cardboard box for about $5 / litre though.

Thanks Phil, I

I'll try to make a point of going back to Trehellas House to see if they still have Musar Jeune on the list, Rob.  If they do, I will try a bottle and report back vintage and tasting notes.

Don't forget the beanz mum cause beanz meanz Heinz!!!  This was the jingle for Heinz Baked Beans.  Heinz is also my daughter's favorite Spaghetti.

I doubt we'll have that product out here.

Don't forget the beanz mum cause beanz meanz Heinz!!!

A million housewives every day, pick up a tin of beans and say, beans, means, Heinz!

Ah the old days eh.

I think this particular sauce would go well on a hot dog though. And don't forget Heinz ketchup, that's got to rate as the best tomato ketchup ever.

And probably the best Cream of Tomato soup.

And of course....



I think Phil is reverting back to childhood - which they say happens often during dotage .
