It’s been a few weeks!  A busy few weeks.  I had a bit of a break and went down to the South Coast of NSW for a few days with a group of friends.  I’ll be covering that in a future post.  I also managed to get down to Tasmania for a week but that [...]

When it comes to seafood, it’s definitely a weakness with me.  And I don’t mean eating it!  I’m actually talking about cooking it!  Yes, it’s an area that I require more practice in.  Fish wasn’t a common dish for me when growing up.  I suppose it

After a “hard” day’s swimming around the islands located in the Gulf of Thailand there was really no better way to end it than with a private seafood barbecue right on the beach!  Ok…let me clarify.  It wasn’t a traditional “bonfire” type of barbecue.  It was a beautiful table set up for dinner on the [...]

This is a simple “throw everything together” kind of pasta dish that I enjoyed a few weeks ago and only got around to posting now.  Remember when I prepared last month’s Joust entry and I used prawns?  Well I had so may leftover that I had to use them quickly.  A great idea came to [...]
