Day six Monday

On the news this morning – the police shot and killed the bloke yesterday who rammed their car and fired at them just up the road from us. He was heavily armed and waist deep in the creek at the time, so he was stuffed in any case. Either croc bait or the police. Very sad.

We had an enjoyable Sunday Session last night with vodka tonics, gin tonics and someone had a large glass of white wine. Joanne, Graeme and we all hooked up on the big screen via Zoom. It worked well and we will make it a regular invite. If you’d like to join us in the lounge bar, let me know.

I have been planning some meal cooking to sell as takeaways so I went into Coles this morning during seniors’ hour to see what is in season and of course, available. What a quiet, controlled, polite experience without bloody millennials or rat bag kids. Not much on the shelves and almost every packaged item restricted to two items, even cartons of eggs. Not what I’d be hoarding, if indeed I was such a person.  

The research is now complete and depending on availability, I will offer two or three meal items each week. I plan to cook on Tuesday and deliver on Wednesday. Menu up each Monday for pre-paid orders. 

This week: Caramelised onion, leek and cheese quiche $10 per quarter (2 serves)

Hickory smoked red pepper passata for pasta $7 (200 mls)

Apple Strudel $10 (150 ml log – 3 serves). No senior’s discount but I will include an amusing trivia fact, such as ‘what, according to legend, does chimichanga mean?’ Answer tomorrow.

I thought I would also amuse you with some amazing food facts as well. You never know, it may help you at your next trivia night

Q. What is the most expensive beverage ever stolen?

A. Danish police are investigating the theft of what is said to be the world’s most expensive bottle of vodka. The bottle of Russo-Baltique, which was stolen from Cafe 33 bar in Copenhagen, is priced at about €1 million. Police said it was too early to say whether the perpetrator had broken into the cafe or used a key. Nothing else was stolen. The bottle was uninsured and on loan from a Russian ‘businessman.’ Ah huh.
