We started off in France with freshly baked croissants for breakfast. The croissants were the frozen ones from Coles, with French jam. For lunch we went to Italy. My basil plant has been going berserk so we had Insalata Caprese with garlic crostini. I was planning on cooking a roast chook tonight but that sounded too ordinary, so we're going to Greece for garlic, herb and lemon roast chicken which I'll serve with crispy potato chunks and a salad. Look up Womans Weekly cook book "Easy Greek Style Cookery" and you will find a recipe for Roasted Vegetables "Briami" which will go splendidly with that chook. Potatoes, Zuccini, Tomatoes, Celery, Red Spanish Onion, Garlic, Parsley, Mint, Dill, Olive oil. Edited September 6, 2021 by Russell21 extra bit.

I roasted the potatoes around the chook and they took on some of the lemony herbal oil so were very tasty. The salad gave a nice refreshing contrast. Anyway it was a fun food day, with happy memories of trips to Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kate59 Posted September 12, 2021 #6761 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I managed to find the Gluten Free meat pies at Coles the other day - not ideal but ok to be able to share a pie with hubby when he wants pie for dinner. I haven't mastered pastry cooking so frozen will have to do. Heatherbrae pies on the Southern Highlands so a good GF pie unfortunately with lockdown don't live close enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally love the stuff better than Tabasco IMO I don't mind a couple of drops of Tabasco, but the Sriracha is dynamite to my palate. The Lancashire Relish is a great sauce, better than Worcestershire IMO. Milder, Smoother, fruitier. Good on a pie or steak/sausages. Available in Woollies.

I used to use tabasco now and then but I have ditched that in favour of Cholula chipotle sauce. Has a nice bit of heat and actually has some flavour other than hot.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 15, 2021 #6770 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I prefer flavour and a little heat rather than just hot. I don't want the meal to be uncomfortable and/or becoming a macho competition on who can eat the hottest spice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey Mic, you have a load of exposure sites in ACT, is it restricting your access to a meat pie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 15, 2021 #6772 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yes, the local bakery is shut for lockdown. We are isolating as much as possible, weekly trips to the supermarket only, in and out in 20 minutes or less if I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to reschedule my appt in Cbr until mid Nov as ACT Health refused me admission. If they do issue exemption, it is two exemptions required by ACT and NSW, plus 14 days quarantine on return home. Perhaps things may improve by mid Nov, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the reasons I like the sriracha, it is more than just heat it is garlicky, salty and sour. To me it is not that spicy a sauce. I personally find the fermented chilli paste gochujang hotter, but it is also salty, sweet and umami🌶️😋. However I do like a smoky chilli sauce so that Cholula chipotle sounds very nice.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 15, 2021 #6775 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I like Doubanjiang, the Chinese chilli bean paste. It's a bit like Gochujang but has a slightly different flavour profile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
