http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:45:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've got no idea if this is an authentic curry from any location at all other than suburban Australian kitchens, but it is delicious.  It's very slightly adapted from the recipe here, where they say that the fenugreek seeds are optional. I'd argue that the fenugreek is one of the ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2010/03/07/pumpkin-and-spinachsilverbeet-curry/ 1. I have finally discovered the level of food blogging I am capable of these days: a one- or two-sentence description of what we do for dinner each night. Idea shamelessly stolen from the far more inspirational Redfox, who also blogs, you know, properly. Anyway, our dinner reports are being ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2010/02/28/two-things/ Salad of mackerel, white beans, capers, watercress, etc. This is to remind me that we found good tinned mackerel fillets at Pennisi in Woolloongabba, and I should go back and buy more. http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2010/01/26/public-holiday-salad/ Oh salsa-like thing, come and sit on my knee, honey.  You are the finest salsa-like thing ever. YES.  It's true. Seriously, this was awesome.  We had soft tacos tonight with chipotle black beans, avocado, and this corn salsa-thing and my god it was delicious. I totally expected the chipotle beans to ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2010/01/15/seared-corn-chili-and-mint-salsa-like-thing-yeah-baby/ It's the second day of the year and we're now two-for-two for excellent lunches.  Yesterday my parents came for lunch (it was my mum's birthday) and we had a summer veggie galette with a salad and some champagne not drunk on NYE, and then honey cake with spiced apples, vanilla ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2010/01/02/frittata-perfecta/ It's the season for social events 5 nights a week, which I love love love until I abruptly get the almost uncontrollable urge to go home, lock the door, and pull the sheets over my head for a few days.  I'm not quite there yet but I've caught myself meaningfully ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2009/12/22/pearl-couscous-and-roast-veggie-salad-with-feta-herbs-and-harissa/ And today I found out that I got ARC funding for 3 years so now I am suddenly relaxed like the floppiest thing ever.  Perhaps I can stop being a drama queen about my stress levels for a while!  Here was tonight's really quite rocking dinner, serving 4, adapted from ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2009/10/26/yessssssssssssssssssssssss/ I can actually feel the stress shredding my immune system.  My whole body aches, I grind my teeth so much it hurts, I just had a melt-down about MS Word being the piece of merde it is, and I still have four analyses on my to-do-list for this Sunday afternoon.  ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2009/10/25/small-pleasures/ Our apartment has been freezing at night for the last week or so.  It's finally made me understand why there are doors on every internal doorway in the place - it's so you have a better chance of corralling the draughts that whistle in round most of the window frames.  ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2009/05/17/about-5-hour-lamb/ I have THE BEST pot of black bean chili on the stove right now.  It needs another 20 minutes or so of cooking but I just had to share the excitement immediately. I threw ingredients in more or less at random but somehow it has coalesced into my perfect chili.  I ... http://www.woolfit.com/wordpress/2009/05/10/pot-liquor/
