Turns out I'd typed it up a while ago, so it's no trouble at all. I apologize if it comes across as though it's written for a moron, but I type up my recipes for myself.

Anyway, the recipe.

That looks really tasty.

Something Americans may not be to familiar with.



Bacon and egg pie in the warmer. Almost 2 inches thick. $2.80 usd approx.

Buying pizza by the slice is rare here. Pie is everywhere.

Wife bought a peppered steak pie while I got a Mexican chicken with chorizo one.

Apple pie nah. Apple Crumble though on a cold snap in winter..... We made this tonight. Few ingredients were substitutes. Instead of rolled oats I used blackberry and apple flavored breakfast oats.


In the little ramican.

And about to be served up.



Cinnamon, butter, four, oats, brown Suger, stewed apples.

Made my first attempt at my aunt’s glazed ham today. I melted a stick of unsalted butter, added 3T of brown sugar, and 6oz of strawberry preserves. Then I topped it with some sliced pineapple pieces. Baked it at 350degF for over 90 minutes.

If I wasn’t using hers as a recipe, I’d be happy with my results for a first try.

I had the beginnings of a nice crust, but extra time in the oven would be a mistake- it was just a touch drier than it should have been. By the flavor of the pot drippings and the pineapple pieces that fell into it during the cooking process, it was clear that my GLAZE was not quite right.

My aunt’s ham glaze always had a stronger strawberry flavor and higher overall sweetness. The texture was much thicker. And her pineapples were slightly salty where mine were noticeably so.

So next time, I’m at least doubling the amount of brown sugar and strawberry preserves. I’m also going to ask her son- who does not cook- if he remembers anything about her ham prep.

Demolished a Buck burger today for dinner. Wife's stomach still a bit tender so she had a cheese and bacon burger.

Buck burger has pattie, bacon, egg, pineapple, onions, salad, and beetroot slices.

I will concede the Aussies know their way around baking a pie and fish and chips. Aussie shop but the species are the same.


Fish was Hake and Hoki which are nice fried. Decent looking chicken burger as well.

They also do a deep fried Mars bar which is chocolate, caramel and nougat. In New Zealand we deep fry Moro bars which are chocolate, caramel and nougat. Heretics over the ditch.

Guess it's kinda like Marmite and Vegemite. Ones a disgusting yeast based spread while the other is a disgusting yeast based spread.

They also wrap their fish and chips left to right while we do it right to left. Heretics!!.

According to the thermometer it is now 34 C outside, so didn't feel like something heavy...
