Did steak and kidney tonight in a Billmans CO, (they are a good oven) and the S & K wasn't too bad either.
Going through the freezer and finding stuff I didn't know I had, skirt steak I'd bought to do pasties and kidneys the bride mistakenly bought thinking it was lambs fry anyway the lock down has some benefits.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Still going through our freezer but must admit we had Indian takeaway last night with leftovers tonight.

I think I might have to get some steak and kidney. Make it into pies I think.

Cooked a big pot of steak and kidney for dinner. No cooking outside as winter has arrived and I wasn’t ready for it.

Served the SK with mash and brussel sprouts.

Was delicious. Enough left over for a couple of pies.

Well went to make the steak and kidney pies earlier and found only one sheet of pastry in the freezer. Opps!!

Brain working quickly and decided on some pot pies with just pastry over the top. Turned out very nicely. I bought the little ceramic pie dishes for $2 each at Aldi a while back.

Oh, can you guess what side of the table Maggie sits?

It was too flamin cold outside so cooked in the oven in the kitchen. Grin

Yesterday it was time to give the BBQ it's post-summer deep-clean. Gave it a good scrub out and once over.

It was blowing a gale yesterday, almost blew the dog off it's chain! So stupid me, after cleaning the BBQ lit it, and turned everything up to 11 to burn of any cleaning residue (I think they call it pyrolytic cleaning

). Well the gale picked and with the oven at about 300 degrees it blew a couple of burners out (These are the fancy gas bar and quartz glass type that run exceedingly hot) suddenly there was flame EVERYWHERE!.

Gas bottle off, and no damage. Phew.

The wind is calmer today, so I am trying it again. I also came across an old but unused jaffle iron hiding in the shed, so it's getting a re-season while the BBQ cleans

My brother and SIL dropped in yesterday on their way from the farm to see their youngest for her birthday (we are allowed small family visits in NSW now). He very kindly and unexpectedly brought down a load of firewood. Last night the cats were well pleased with that outcome

The wood is very interesting. It is from the very back of the property, an area that was never cleared of trees way back when the property was originally a soldiers selection and turned into a farm. This tree was a proper old growth yellow box gum probably near 100 years old and has been dead and seasoning for even longer that that. The grain is so tight and the wood is so hard it is very difficult to split. Which means it burns hot and lasts all night.

Woke up to a cheery warmth in the house this morning.
