Sometimes a meal, no matter how simple, is perfect. I love cooking, and almost each night I light the charcoal fire I have, but today had no meat ready, and was tired, so went to the little restaurant in this village, to chat to the owner, a friend, and get a Chilean version, if I may, of "fish and chips". The fish is called Congrio, more a conger eel than a fish. But to me, a fisherman, who has explored most things sea-wise, it remains probably my favorite simple fish dish. This is deep-fried congrio, with chips. The chips are hand-cut fresh potatoes. The side is bread and and a spicy chutney. And obviously lemon. Simplicity, but perfect A dish that will always remain one of my favorite ever.

Eggs Benedict at Rosebery Black Gold Espresso cafe, courtesy of my car dealership/having car serviced. The only reason why hubby comes with me.

The poached eggs were perfect.

I love Brussels Sprouts but being a winter crop they haven’t been around / available for a few months here in Tas - I wonder where are they being grown?

Steady we have them in our local Woolies - the label says Australian grown - but it doesnt say where or when !! How long can you keep them in cold storage ??

They are not cool-stored. However, the growing window is wider than may be assumed, but quality is best (smaller, tight, sweeter sprouts) during winter-spring: Growing Brussels sprouts in Western Australia | Agriculture and Food

Planned to have BBQ today but then on Friday received call that there was an Endoscopy appointment cancellation at Royal Brisbane for Monday.

BBQ went ahead as planned with me cooking and smelling the food.



Lamb, squid, beef sausage, onions, green peppers, red capsicum, egg plant, mushroom saved for tomorrow.

Simple but also delicious.
