Still Cooking? - Yep Still Cooking...

I think Summer is fighting with Winter and the weather's all screwed up. We have experienced it all in terms of weather changing patterns. Oh just let me build up drama and confusion to cooking and tough recipes selecting process, will you?

Its like this, the weather is confusing me so I do not know what to cook for dinner. So...I do oven roasting...a lot of oven roasting, everything oven roasting, ah...I think you follow.

There is no recipes to the kind of oven roasting I do, because I just kind of throw everything into an oven proof dish, then push it into the oven, then leave the kitchen and watch TV or read emails, then come back 45min to an hour later and ta-da! Dinner's ready. Erm...yeah, its that easy, any cooking skills involved? Ermmm..no.

I like the char taste so I tend to leave everything till slightly burnt before I bring them out of the oven. No no no, its has got nothing to do with me forget time while watching telly or playing with my laptop, its meant to be a little "char", ah...I think you follow.

So, I would go to the supermarket, pick up some carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, brown onions, capsicums, roma tomatoes, herbs and meat for roasting like pork, beef, lamb chops and cutlets. I don't like roasting fish and chicken, I prefer to pan-fry, stir-fry or stew or make into soup.

Here are examples of roasted and stir fried meals we had over the past 2 weeks.

Roasted Lamb forequarter with capsicum & onions drizzled with rosemary and olive oil and roasted potates and pumpkins, then finished with mint sauce when served.
