Week after illness

Last weekend and the few days around it were miserable for both Ah Fong and myself as we battled with the stomach bug. Frank Campbell came to visit and unfortunately we had to leave him to his own devices as we were hardly capable of looking after ourselves.

Things have improved over the past few days and even though I had another trip to Sydney and we have had a couple of interesting dishes.

One of our recovery dishes was soup made with a cheap cut of beef and plenty of veges.

In Sydney Donna, Stephen and I went to a Halal Pakistani restaurant in King Street Newtown which had good inexpensive food. The Tandoori chicken is shown in the picture.

During the week I cooked again with considerable help from the baker with an Italian crusty bread stick, and char grilled anti pasto from woolies.

This was served with a stew of carrots, beef, tomatoes onions and garlic.

A few other dishes during the week were pork mince with bitter cucumber, brocolli and chicken pieces with red capsicum and chillis.
