New ingredients!


Chilis r usually quite expensive in adelaide..so when i saw this bag of green peppers on a table labelled 'hot', i got quite excited...the proprietor told me that they were spicy banana peppers and sold me the lot for 2 bucks!! What a bargain!!! hehehee!! i've used them in place of chili padis...and also ate them raw...a word of warning: they are fierce enough to induce tears!!


and this is smoked cod....


Asked the fishmonger how to cook it..and he said to just simmer in water or milk for 10 minutes and eat it just like that.
Well...i followed his instructions and was quite delighted with the results..a little on the salty side but quite nice...firm and flaky..
(Wei Hong, perhaps u can see if it's available in Melbourne??)

Anyone has a more interesting recipe for smoked cod??? :)

...or you could just go to the Botanic Garden for your chilis;) As my other half said when I raised my eyebrows in disapproval..."they'll only rot on the vine and go to waste."

excellent idea!!! :D
wonder whether that's legal though.... i know of an overseas student who caught a pigeon (for food) and was deported...

wow you're joking! i would guess it's not the most legal of things to do, hence my being very nervous when my hubs did it...but he's australian so doesn't have too much to worry about. deportation is always a concern for the rest of us;)
