LeBlanc tagged me for a meme.
That just rolled off my typing fingers like I know what I’m talking about. Until LeBlanc and sulz stepped in to help, I had less than a clue. I still felt very honoured though.
I think I know what I’m doing. Here are the rules as sent to me by LeBlanc:

Another hot day with monty and Myf heading out for the evening.
It called for a quick and easy dinner.
Only one teensy, weensy problem. There was only one T-Bone left in the fridge, and I really, really fancied steak and salad.
Luckily there are prawns in the freezer, garlic and fresh chilli, and rice in the pantry. [...]

It’s just a pity I don’t know how to respond - yet
I’m actually tickled pink. I’ve always wanted to do a meme. As soon as I can find out how to respond I’ll be in there boots and all.
I have to somehow find out how to tag LeBlanc, and then link someone [...]
A friend emailed me photos and excerpts from Peter Menzel’s 2005 book, “Hungry Planet:What The World Eats” this week.
Fascinating, thought-provoking and disturbing in equal measure, the book examines the food purchases of 30 families from 40 countries over a week.
The authors present this book as a photo essay. The families are pictured, in their homes, [...]
And it looked fantastic.
The recipe we used is a traditional favourite with a few tweaks. The gentlemen added brandy to the mix - more about that later, and I added a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa to the recipe for colour and a new level of flavour.
We used a mix of dried fruit for our 375g [...]
The fabulous Cat from Cathie Cooks Food posted this intriguing recipe for banana cake that I just had to bake straight away.
Cat’s recipe uses no butter or oil, although she said that a little oil was fine, if the cake baker wanted to add it and so I did put in a tablespoon of my special Camellia oil

The filling for these cold rolls was last night’s leftover rice noodle and salad. I defrosted some prawns and sliced them in half, long ways. In the past I have used shredded steamed chicken or pork in cold rolls. When Myf was a vegetarian I used pan fried firm tofu .
Always iceberg lettuce, cucumber and coriander. Mint and carrot [...]
The hot weather called for something light and easy for dinner.
This “recipe” is flexible and forgiving as regards ingredients.
Salad (lettuce, cucumber and coriander) is served with blanched rice noodle and asparagus, and topped with a quick stir-fry of chilli & garlic prawns.
I also prepare this kind of salad using thinly sliced beef, chicken or pork. [...]
This is the perfect summer dessert.
Light, sweet meringue, the outside light-as-air crispy, and the inside like puffy marshmallow, topped with whipped cream and the nicest selection of fresh fruits available to you.
Some notes about the pavlova in this picture:
This is a ready-made pavlova base from the shops They are perfectly lovely and very handy.
Here is an [...]
These cupcakes are rich and delicious. Vanilla bean cupcake, partnered with delicate white chocolate and red raspberries. Perfect as a dessert cupcake, the white chocolate melts in the batter to form pockets of molten choc.
Beautiful served piled high with fresh raspberries and drizzled with white chocolate ganache.
Using your favourite vanilla cupcake mixture, 2/3′rds fill your liners. As [...]
