Whats on the menu for dinner these days??

If it's a fan forced electric oven it's probably just the element around the fan Horrie. Couple of hundred bucks v new oven price . We had Humpty Doo barramundi steamed with lime slices. Hand cut cut chips , deep fried not air fried , with chicken salt . Simple but delicious .

Thanks Crab, yes its a fan forced electric oven, its almost 13 years old now so think will just replace the whole thing, already had to replace an element on the induction cook top of the stove about 2 years ago and it was the one which had two rings on it, a smaller inner one or the bigger outer one, the technician could only fix it so you could use the outer larger ring as they did not have the parts for it anymore to make the two rings work separately , so i think will just get a new one, just a bugger now as i was at the super centre today and spent a few thousand on furniture for the spare room and thought that's the last i will have to spend till getting a new car next year. WRONG , just hope now that the chest freezer that i have had for about 32 years lasts as it is chock a block full of stuff.

Fair enough Horrie when one thing breaks its usually all downhill from there. I think the term is 'planned obsolescence ' . Doing air fried pork belly with crackling tonight with roast potatoes, pumpkin and steamed carrots and greens . Gravy on the side .

That’s exactly what we keep it for. Always have one at the bottom of the chest freezer for a bludge night.

Asian Noodle House at Tuggers. It was the birthday ‘child’s’ choice. It was ok, nothing special. Big serves, way too big actually as none of us could finish our meals.

That's why they have take away containers speaking of Chicken Chow Mein, i had that for lunch at Eastgardens today and it was a huge serve for $9, struggled through it but still full now.

Good place. A family friend of ours opened that place quite a few years ago.
