Australian BBQ pt 2

So the Australian Football Grand Final was a draw, for the first time in many years. Luckily for me the rules of Australian Football dictate that after time expires in a Grand Final, if the game is a draw there is a rematch scheduled for exactly one week following. This means that there is another BBQ scheduled for exactly one week flowing. This time we had more lamb chops and better chicken wings! The same sausage wins the day.

Australian BBQ pt 1.

My adventures recently took me to the land down under. The great country/continent of Australia. Perth, a city on the western side to be specific. I was fortunate enough to go at an important time during their sport season, the AFL [Australian Football League] Grand Final. The gruesome details of Australian Football or "footie" aside, the BBQs had in honor of its greatest day are the stuff of legend. Above you see an asortment of sausage, lamb and beef mushroom, as well as lamb chops and scotch fillets of beef (a cut I've never heard of but prominent down under). Oddly enough (or not) I was put (put myself) in charge of the BBQ and it was a feast. The beef mushroom sausage was my favorite, their smooth texture and rich mushroom flavors won the day. The game was a tie.

Poach Egg.

Eggs. They are wonderful for breakfast. For many years I preferred my eggs sunny side up, until one day, I was Australia and I had my eggs poached easy. They are soft, they are beautiful, they retain all the runny yoke, with the added bonus of less runny white and more beautiful presentation. Eggs poached easy on buttery sourdough bread with garlic sauteed spinach. yumm.
