What's For Dinner...
 |
| Trevally poached in White wine, garnished with sautéed tomato and Puff Pastry, with creamy Spinach. |
 |
| With a glass of Rose Wine... delicious. I followed an old recipe with so much Egg, Butter and Cream that entrée size is really enough for Main course. |

Scenic Drive To The You Yangs...
 |
| On Saturday I took a drive out to the You Yang Ranges. It's on the road to Geelong you just turn right at Little River. The area has rugged landscape and lots of low growing trees and rocky outcrops. |
 |
| A lovely little Lizard kept us entertained at lunch, don't know his species, but he was so well camoflaged you could hardly see him in the surrounding environment. |
 |
 |
| The view looking back out to the bay. |
 |
| It was a lovely day and a lovely country drive. |

Guest Post...
This is the Pie and the recipe that was made from the 'windfall apples' from Nundle,
courtesy of my sister Elizabeth.
Recipe for Mum and Nana's Apple short cake
Soften 4oz butter (120g)
Mix in 2 eggs with whisk
And 2 tablespoons sugar
Then mix in 2 cups of SR flour with a knife
Turn onto floured board and knead into soft dough
Cut 1/3 off for top
Roll the other 2/3 of dough out on floured surface and line a pie tin.
Nana used to fill with hot cooked apple to start the cooking of the base straight away.
Roll out remaining 1/3 dough, brush a little milk around edge.
Place over apple and press around edge with fingers to seal the pie
Brush with a little milk
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar
Cut a small hole in the top to let steam out
Bake in pre heated moderate oven for about 30 minutes or until golden
Serve with cream or custard or both
Enjoy
You can add rhubarb to the apple as Nana used to.

Apple Picking With Penny....Country Style...
 |
| At Nundle we came upon some Apple trees laden with fruit which had dropped sweet little Apples all over the ground. It was a perfect opportunity to pick a bag to take home to make Apple Pie. |

Bamboo Shoots...
 |
| With Swiss Brown Mushrooms and a dash of Soy Sauce. |
 |
| On my walk today I passed a clump of Bamboo and picked a few young stems. |
 |
| It a bit of a job peeling the husk off. |
 |
| But you end up with some tender green bits that are rather like Asparagus. I cooked mine with Onion, Garlic and Ginger just saute with a little oil and water. Quite delicious!. |
