Please excuse the lack of photos… On more than one occasion this week I had completely finished my meal before I remembered that a picture of it was supposed to be going up on a food blog.
Spaghetti Carbonara based on this recipe on Lifestyle Food. NO CREAM. Cream in Carbonara is such a joke! My stomach doesn’t really handle semi-cooked egg that well, however I’m trying to feed it into submission. One of my first attempts, and it turned out really well.
Wild Mushroom Risotto @ Wesley Anne’s
Wesley Anne on High Street, Northcote have 2 for 1 meals on Mondays (SHHH!). I paid my first visit this Monday just gone. It’s cosy, dark, has Little Creatures on tap (!) and the food is fantastic value. The mushroom risotto was meaty and filling but lacked a salty tang that I appreciate in most foods. That’s not to say that the meal was no good though!
Kangaroo Lasagne
A free afternoon, an unexpected guest and my first attempt at making Lasagne with Kangaroo mince. Stay tuned for the recipe.
Napoletana Pizza @ The Lucky Coq
The review is coming! A great way to drink away a Wednesday night. The pizzas are awesome too, second only to mine :P
Penguin Shaped Belgian Waffles with Peppermint Choc-Chip Ice-Cream
Made from a recipe on Waffle Recipes (HALVE THE QUANTITY. I MADE ENOUGH TO FEED A FAMINE RAVAGED COUNTRY). Xenex and I ate them for dinner. Does not translate well to pancakes (They tend to take on a gluey texture?! Maybe that’s just me not cooking them long enough. Also, please excuse the dodgy iPhone photo - the battery in my ‘good camera’ went flat).
Tonight looks like Fish & Chips and Beer :D
What did you eat this week?
