What I miss most from living in Canberra, walking distance to the Hellenic club, upstairs, Greek dishes only, sliced eggplant baked with feta.

Fully agree. I quite often make this one.
It’s really quite rich and incredibly tasty with the hot chorizo and the prunes. And incredibly easy to cook. You can throw in some carrot too, which always intensify the flavour. Great with rice or couscous or just some good bread to mop up the juice. I usually increase the amount of eggplant and ony use one chorizo and turn it into a principally vegetable dish.
That looks great. I’ll have to give it a try.
One of the many jobs I’ve held was working for a fruit and veg business where the public were served in the shop but trade customers (pubs, cafes etc.) would phone through, have their orders made up and subsequently delivered in our van.
Whenever a new part-time teen started, we’d prank them by giving them a list of items to pick from the cool room as if it was an order.
The list would include aubergines, cilantro, alligator pears, bum nuts, love apples, kohlrabi, daikon and murphies. You could plainly see the horror on the poor kids’ faces.

Its salami making day soon - I’m looking for hot chilli flakes or crushed chilli flakes.
Not mild, not warm - hot.
Can anyone recommend where I can grab some? (preferably online for delivery, or northern suburbs of Melbourne)
Really specific stuff like that amazon.
If you have prime its free next day delivery.

Love the taste, but I’m allergic to it. So I’ll just eat a whole bunch as quick as I can, then just feel like I’ve eaten a heap of chili for 10-15 minutes.
Not a doctor, but I’m not sure this is recommended approach.

Sucks for you. It’s definitely something to risk your life for I think.

I’d go a tad crispier on the bacon, personally.
You have cooked the eggs to perfection though.

Agreed. I usually cook the bacon more. Some parts were crispy enough though.
I have been working on my scrambled egg game lately and I think I’ve finally nailed it.
Thanks

Really depends what you want from your scrambled eggs. The slowwww version makes them really soft/creamy, but I actually like the really rapid version which is much like making an omelette. My dad did this as a side dish for stir fries. But basically that same method is the way Bill Grainger did his version of scrambled eggs, one time that I saw on TV. And the cooking effort is about 1/10th of the slow scramble.
Pine (saffron milk cap) mushies foraged on the morning dog walk. For lunch, on toasted home made sourdough.

There’s a Cantonese place near us called the Nihao Kitchen that does eggplant chips. They’re in some very tasty sauce and absolutely to die for. Always the first to go when the dishes get put on the table. They do takeaway, but I don’t think you’d want the chips takeaway – they need to be eaten quickly while they’re good and hot and not sticking together.
The main specialty there is seafood. One wall is virtually all fish tanks from which you can select your dinner. It’s incredibly popular with the local Chinese population – it’s just a local Chinese restaurant and there are at least 3 others close by, but it’s always booked out for lunch and dinner.

What are you whipping up for the menu tonight at Greasy Zoes?
Former local Fiji Indian did eggplant chips ( as well as other eggplant dishes) , also pumpkin chips. I’ve cooked pumpkin chips, easy with the firmest pumpkins.
Ha - never heard of it, but not far away - might have to check it out as it looks interesting. But honestly we seldom eat out!

I have perfected my scrambled eggs lately. Some real butter in the pan and cook slow and fold it over like an omelette before scrambling the eggs just before serving. They are the best. I told a few people at work how I do it and now they all do it the same. If there is one thing I’m good at its eggs
