Pat - Bundaberg is sugar and rum country. Our Amanda would love it:-))))

Believe it or not the best Lamb meal I ever had was in Hobart. Our last night there we had a lovely meal and I ordered the Lamb rump - it was absolutely heaven.

Hello Persey .....it seems as if the seasons are confused all over the planet these days .
I'm guessing that your sneezing is Hay Fever ? I hope it eases for you soon .
Regarding your cost of fish comment , it seems to have taken quite a price hike over here as well , perhaps the fish stocks are running out , I'm still not going to resort to eating Eels though......lol

Nips off to google Bundaburg.....lol

i found out where Bundaberg is. It's just up from Brisbane. Geography isn't my strongest point!
Perse,you're making me feel hungry! i hope you had mint sauce with your lamb!
Sue, Talking of rum At the moment we've got this work experince boy working with us. He went to Barbardos for a holiday and he came back with this rum cake. It was delicious1

There is nothing wrong with eel Amanda. My dad brought one home when I was about ten and my mother would not let him bring it in the house. He wanted us to have it for a meal. Instead he had to hang it under the house and feed it to the cat.

I don't think my mother should really have married a bushman - she tried hard to refine him - it never worked.

Good evening Tec, the weather here was a bit windy but still quite nice and no rain, it tried a couple of time's but came to nothing. How's you and OH, well I hope.

Welcome to the thread Jillian, hope you visit again and don't be put off by the strange thing's you have read, we are a friendly bunch on here and cover a wide range of subject's including nonsence.

Hi Perse glad you had a nice day with the family, loved the BBQ story lol.

Hi Pat good to see you again.

Hi Colin hope you are well

Hello carole good to see you are posting again hun, glad your daughter had a nice birthday and your OH enjoyed his day.

Sue I'm glad your OH had a nice day hun and the card sound's nice.
It is sad about the crash and that one of the passenger's was so young

Diane.

Amanda,
Isn't jellied eels a delicacy? I've never tried it!

On that occasion I didn't Pat - but I do like mint sauce on my lamb... bit naughty I buy it... my father always made our mint sauce.

And I have yorkshire pudding with roast beef... my eldest daughter loves yorkshire pudding and she would request it with roast lamb as well.

Hi amanda you arrived as I was posting hun, your idle day sound's good that is the way Sunday's should be.

Diane

I am not keen on the jellied eels...

Try curried scallop pie Amanda and Pat. It is a Tasmanian favourite, as Sue will tell you.
I have the recipe in my Huon Valley cookbook.

Look up Huon Valley Pat.

Persey ....your Dad sounds like a real character.....lol

My OH can remember as a lad bringing Eels home for his Nan to eat , I think there was a gruesome skinning alive thing that went on and really put him off handling Eels ( and he is normally far from squeamish ) ......and when I was a kiddie I saw a film at the pictures about " Old London " , there where close ups of old ladies in a London pub tucking into jellies Eel......their faces are still engraved in my memory to this day !! I'll pass on the Eel ......lol

Evening Diane ..... I hope all is good in your world : ))


Pat ...my geography is not good either , I have been known to get lost in my own area on occasion .

I used to like lamb and mint sauce crisps!
Hi Diane!
I'm going to love you and leave you because I've got to iron my pinafore for work tomorrow.
I'tis just gone 10.30pm here!
night

Hello Diane - hope you are well.

Mint sauce always reminds me of my MIL. She made her own and it was delicious.

Well I am off for my three monthly medical check up to see if I am sane or not as the case may be.

Catch you later Diane.

Tec is sitting there watching the pages unfold.

Bye all

I love mint sauce with my Lamb too, but I'm naughty as I pile it on my potato's and veg as well. " of my granddaughter's love yorkshire pudding and I have even had to cook it on it's own with gravy pored over it for one of them.
Chicken year's ago was only ate at easter and christmas in our family as it was a luxury at one time, it tasted like chicken then now it is lacking in taste.

Diane

Persey ....it might be smoked Eel that is a delicacy , OH says it's the most expensive fish about ?

Hello Diane, and Pat, Amanda,

You're all making me feel very hungry, just when I'd decided to pass on supper.
It is annoying that my two favourite meals, fish and lamb, are the most expensive.
Where I lived when I was young (I was once) there was a jellied eel stall outside nearly every pub - the sight of them put me off for life.

Diane - OH and I are fine thanks, I hope you are too.

Tec.

Bye Pat sleep well

Bye Perse hope your sane check up goes well lol.

I'm fine thank's Amanda and Sue, had another afternoon in Liverpool town centre with employer and his mum, she bought some new clothes for her and employer, don't know were she will put them as he has load's of clothes already. She will probably sort through his other clothes and get rid of some of them. We had something to eat in BHS ( british home store's ) which wasn't as nice as other places we have eaten in, employer and myself had chip's and gravy and it wasn't very hot so I had to ask for them to be heated up in micro-wave.

Diane

Evening Tec ..... I thought you might be doing your supper run ....lol

There is a food item for sale on our local market called " chittlins and jott " or some such thing , I'm not actually sure what it is but it looks revolting to me , people eat it with their bag of chips sometimes .

It's funny how we all have different tastes in food ....lol
