Food for Thought

We are 2 best friends and amateur chefs, on either side of an ocean, with a common love for all things food. This blog will chronicle our respective food journeys, recipes, tips and tricks, links, ideas and basically anything else to do with food on both sides of The World - showing how they are influenced by our countries and each other.

Simple is best

Hi everyone

A long day today, very long. Busiest day of the month in work as always, not quite enough sleep last night, then knocked off my motorbike on the way home by some fool not looking where they were going. Seriously, right up the back of the bike while I stopped at a roundabout. No damage, bike is fine a little pain in my leg from trying to catch it (!!!) and a rip in my coat - could have been a lot worse. So what do you need after that day?

A nice juicy ribeye steak. YES PLEASE!

The dish, complete with steak knife which was a present from my best bud Anthony!



Kept it simple - a nice salad underneath and the juicy steak on top (medium of course, my favourite and rare for the wife) with some garlic and pepper butter on the top. Perfect.  Salad was a simple mixed leaf, red sweet pepper, spring onion, cucumber and beetroot salad for the wife, though I left out both the beetroot and cucumber because I didn't fancy them today. The really great thing about making food yourself is you only need to put in what you want, not like buying it from a Supermarket!

Anyway, washed it down with a nice pear and berry cider, and watched Junior Masterchef Australia (marvelling at the standard of the 12 year olds!!!) cuddled up with Wifey. I guess the day wasn't that bad after all.

Be well, eat well and to all bikers especially - ride safe!

Tony
