Hey Doc, I appreciated the quadrupled post as it gave me many more yummy moments hehehe.
Loved every bite.
Thanks for sharing. You and your daughter should start up a food van...... in Brisbane that is :lol: :lol: :lol:

That seafood looks fabulous. Can the basil and lemon oil be bought, or do you make it?

No mate, just make it fresh, some basil, chives and good olive oil, wiz it up with a stick mixer and add lemon juice and salt.

It's a variety of salsa verde (green sauce) and there are lots of variations.

For all these things, fresh is best...

Love the second photo on the floor boards and the colour juxtaposition!
Your brother is a genius.
Thanks for sharing.

Nah mate..we only eat off the floorboards on special occasions..
Usually during a weekend marathon. :Y:

 

[Mackka]

I was serious mate, that is a great use of what is available for the perfect photo.
Mackka :Y:

Agree wholeheartedly with Dr D, some tasty tucker indeed has been displayed :Y:
Had a bit of the same myself the other day.
No floorboards, great photo's or flash ingredients unfortunately.
Just a humble, sunbaking chook, that, after its 36 hour dip in a buttermilk brine, found itself atop of a Dragon:

After an hour and a half ( give or take) it was done.
Some gravy made out of the pan juices etc, and the high protein lunch was ready.

Cheers,
Billy

Looks great Billy.
What's the go with the brine?
I've always wanted to brine some of my chooks but I usually cook them on the spur of the moment.

Gday HL,
Mate give it a go and you may never go back to cooking chicken without brining again
It keeps the bird moist and makes it harder to overcook it as well as adding a bit of flavour.
This was the first website I found, but it explains it reasonably well:

Enjoy and let us all know how you go :Y:

Cheers,
Billy.

Had to look twice silver as there seemed to be a roasted cane toad under the pasta and beans. :/

Carol and I used to go up to the Hydro Magestic Hotel up near Katoomba back in the early 90's and we loved their crock pot pies. We loved them that much that we have been making them ever since. Here is our chicken and veg version.

They taste bloody beautiful. :Y: :Y: :Y:

Cheers

Doug and Carol

Looks a lot better than my burnt cane toad. :lol:

Wouldn't mind a taste of possum pie like the old ones ate.
