Today Bron invited me to a picnic lunch at Yerra Beach on Lake Ginninderra. There’s not much better than homemade sandwiches at a picnic or at the beach. To be honest, they’re always better on a sandy beach where there is surf. I’m sorry if I sound like a snob, I really do prefer surf beaches.
The weather was a little cool so I was wearing a hoodie and a pair of shorts. Bron had bought some nice crusty rolls, French onion dip, hummus, pesto, carrot sticks, brie, tasty cheddar, ham, salad leaves and tomatoes. We were able to assemble sandwiches at the Lake. After lunch we had Weston’s Wagon Wheels.
Yerra Beach. TAMS needs to come and cut the grass. The grass seeds had my allergies going.
Another view. The grass is lush.
There's playground stuff too.
And here is the sandwich. Bread smeared with French onion dip and filled with ham, brie, baby spinach, tomatoes, and cucumber.
Tonight I had some sweet potato and thought I’d do fritters again. I mentioned to Bron I still had puff pastry from last night and she suggested sausage rolls. I went and bought some pork mince, a pear and an onion. I still had some diced prunes from last night.
I made a potato and sweet potato bake with some Gruyere cheese and cream. The sausage rolls were simply the pork mince, onion, pear, prunes, some chilli flakes, pepper and an egg to bind.
Lots of ingredients to make sausage rolls and a potato bake.

This looks disgusting but it was full of goodness.

Side by side. My main dishes for tonight.
Two hot logs of goodness.
Plated up.

This was a pretty filling meal. I’ll have left overs tomorrow night.

how professional do your sausage rolls look! yum!
and the new park stuff is interesting, isn’t it? bit disappointing that there haven’t been many kids on the equipment (from what i’ve seen)
Thank you. I had fun making them. The park equipment seems to attract adolescents who want to test the strength of the equipment. It’s a pity more younger kids aren’t out playing on it. I think it was put up by volunteers.
Love the photos!
Thank you
Hi Gary,
when you make food with pastry like this one and the beef wellington, can you cut it and take a photo to show how the inside looks. I was really wanting to see the inside of yesterdays dish. I am glad you had a good weekend even if you did go into work today.
I will try to remember next time. Thanks Meredith.
