Monday link love

Posted by Gary

Hi there. It’s been a busy day. I don’t have much to post but since it’s Monday I do want to share some Canberra Food Blogger Facebook Group links

Thanks for visiting. Please check out the rest of Yummy Lummy. I’d love it if you shared this site with your friends.

Here’s the list

Each of these posts is worth reading. The recipes are delicious and Liz’s take on onions really interesting. Serina has great advice on frugal cleaning of woolen products and Elissa made me think about bulk food shopping.

Here are some food photographs and a short video of my slow cooker beef.

Cheesy pulled pork toasted sambo

Posted by Gary

What could be better than cheesy pulled pork on a sandwich?

Check out my cheesy pulled pork sambo. This is a fantastic way to finish off some leftover pulled pork. Next time I may do it with macaroni cheese.

I tried to use cheeses that I knew would melt well. I went with Swiss and Colby cheeses. Because I have to use a communal toasted sandwich maker at work, I always wrap my sambos in baking paper before packing them in a lunch box. Today I had a little cheese and olive oil on the outer surfaces of the pumpkin bread to make it extra crunchy.

This was delicious and four slices of cheese had it coming out the sides getting crispy on the outside. The baking paper kept it all together and avoided any mess so the next person won’t get a contaminated sandwich.

Have you ever had a cheesy pulled pork sambo?

I’ve already blogged a couple of times over the weekend so today is dedicated to sharing links from the Canberra Food Bloggers Facebook Page

Some interesting posts today. I hope you enjoy the delicious reading. I know I did.

Tonight I decided not to indulge too much after a big weekend (Taco Saturday and Coles pulled pork).

The idea for putting the salmon on skewers came from Lorraine Elliott of Not Quite Nigella fame and one of her posts last week.

I know this will taste better after at least a day’s refrigeration so lunches or dinners will be fabulous. I look forward to leftover meals.
