Stuff it!

Happy Australia Day to everyone.
Cricket has turned to tennis and we are now enjoying the semi finals of the Australian Open with a few surprises. What a great time of year for sport!
Its been particularly warm and we seem to be in the wrong house away from the pool and the air conditioning, makes working very hard but can’t complain about the weather as it continues to caste a terrible toll on so many and it looks like more to come.
I’m very proud to say that today Nick went solo for the first time today so it won’t be too long now and we will be able to check out the countryside together from above.  I’ll take photo’s I promise.
The highlight of our food during the week had to be the stuffed capsicum ….If you read my last entry we had a great pilaff and with some left over I decided to use it to stuff some beautiful red capsicum (pepper).


Simply cut the top off the pepper, clean out any seeds and fill with the pilaff.  Pop the top back on and bake at 150C for about an hour or until soft.  We served this with some char grilled chicken fillet, a few roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of basil leaves.  Now that’s a delicious way to use leftovers.
We have been using loads of tomatoes and loving them cooked with a few new potatoes which we served with a grilled piece of Tasmanian salmon or as last night in a salad……simply cut served with steamed potatoes, lots of leaves some avocado and Queensland Prawns very nice.
Nick is currently making burnt caramel ice cream to eat with the tennis tonight and I am making pizza, I will let you know how we go.
Have a great weekend
Love
Mary
