A lot of my friends in university ate a lot of instant noodles instead of proper meals. I’ve seen documentaries where instant noodles form the basis of a whole cuisine for some people. I like them but I don’t love them. That said, I always have some in the shelf of shame because they’re cheap and I couldn’t be bothered buying fancy noodles.
Tonight I baked some salmon, flaked it and added it to some noodles for a filling meal for one.

I’m reproducing Erica’s recipe here and I’ll make it clear if I deviate from her recipe. Erica also has a YouTube channel. I reckon you should check it out, especially if you have food intolerances.
Perfect sweet potato chips
Recipe Type: Dinner
Cuisine: Australian
Author: [url href=”http://bubblechild.com/about/” target=”_blank”]Erica von Trapp[/url]
This is Erica von Trapp’s recipe
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato washed and dried
2–3 tablespoons of olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
Erica suggests cinnamon but I went with chilli flakes and cracked black pepper
Instructions
Cut the sweet potato in half, then cut 1 cm thick batons.
Cut again perpendicular to make 10 cm long chips.
Repeat with other half.
In large bowl, soak cut potatoes in room temperature water for at least 2 hours, can leave overnight.
Strain and rinse potatoes, and leave them in the strainer to dry off while you pre-heat your oven to about 200 °C.
In large bowl, toss with olive oil and sea salt, and lay on large baking sheet with no overlap.
Bake for about 25 minutes, turning a few times if you want them really evenly colored.
You’ll know they’re done when you can poke a fork through them easily and the outside is crispy.
Remove from oven, salt a bit more if you’d like, and serve.

Saturday dinner. Baked salmon with sweet corn and sweet potato chips.
Friday lunch at the hospital was a nice sandwich. It’s nice to have a good cafe at the hospital that sells a good variety of food including sandwiches, sushi, hot food and pastries.
TGIF lunch. Smoked salmon sandwich.
A doctor friend at the hospital saw this at a meeting in California and brought me back a tin of bacon candy. I’m looking forward to trying this out.

Dinner on Friday night was a beef burger with a fennel salad and some avocado served with potato gems (tater tots). This made me feel so full afterwards. It may have something to do with the extra potato gems that I cooked and didn’t have in the photograph (guilty pleasure there).

On my walk around Lake Ginninderra today I nearly stood on this tortoise. I released him/her near the edge of Lake Ginninderra. I hope he/she survives. His/her shell was cracked.

Lake Ginninderra looked good. I like walking around Lake Ginninderra on a still day. The reflections are so nice.

Some eastern grey kangaroos. I wish I could get closer but there was a wire fence in the way and as soon as I clicked the first shot they hopped away.

A pelican preening on Lake Ginninderra. I wonder if it notices its reflection. If only there was a duck in the water that could be seen in the pelican made frame. That would have been a great composition.

It was warm, I enjoyed a delicious caramel thick shake from Heather’s House of Cake. I’m glad this wasn’t one of those outrageous shakes that have become trendy. I reckon the shakes with stuff hanging over the edge and connected with cake and stuff are just over the top too much. There are already too many calories in a standard milk shake or thick shake.

I hope you enjoy Erica’s sweet potato chips. I reckon I may make these again tomorrow night.
The annual floral extravaganza that is Floriade began this weekend. I do like flowers. Especially brightly coloured flowers. The first weekend is always a little disappointing, the bulbs are best around the middle of the four week festival.
Rather than just park near Floriade I thought I’d incorporate a bridge to bridge walk and so I parked near Questacon.
For breakfast I had some golden syrup on a couple of pieces of white toast with a cup of coffee.
Sunday breakfast. Golden syrup on toast with coffee.
The morning was perfect weather-wise. The sky was clear, the temperature was warm and there was no wind. Best of all it didn’t feel too dry. I’m currently taking antihistamines for allergic rhinitis (hay fever) so the pollen in the air didn’t bother me too much.
While walking to Floriade I shot a few photographs. Only a couple were worth sharing.

I started walking around the little shops that sell small things at inflated costs just to see what sort of products were on offer. It’s hard to believe what people charge for fudge and chili sauce. Most of the other stuff was of little interest. In the end I bought nothing. I went and got a cup of coffee and sat on a bench for a while looking at people. The coffee was pretty ordinary but the people watching was great. It was a lovely warm morning and everyone looked happy and energetic. I also noticed there were lots of fancy cameras. Mostly Canon with L glass. Some Nikon and lots of point and shoot cameras. I saw some mirrorless cameras and those were mostly Olympus.
I had to use Adobe Photoshop’s content aware to delete two annoying people who wouldn’t move. I wish I was better with Adobe Photoshop.

I was going to go to the homemade markets at Kingston to check out Dream Cuisine Patisserie and see if they had a vanilla slice there that Tales of a Confectionist posted about last week. Instead I went home to vacuum my apartment, viz., spring cleaning.
For lunch I enjoyed a smoked salmon salad with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado.

Some readers know of my many alter egos. For example, on Friday I posted on my other blog about the limitations of diagnostic tests, especially serology tests. In the past I’ve also posted about offal on Dr Offal. Tonight though I’m posting about giblets here on Yummy Lummy. Possibly my least known blog is the one about odd movies.
I really like giblets. I have happy memories of Mum cooking giblets. On a cold night, Mum’s chicken giblets and steamed rice was really comforting and warming. I would tell people about the meal and I usually received a negative reaction. It’s no surprise when I posted a photograph on social media yesterday about my purchase I received mixed reactions. One of my social media friends compared chicken giblets to cat food. Lucky cats I say.

After breakfast, I called Dad and wished him Happy Father’s day. I went for a walk on the cloudy Sunday morning and shot some photographs.

On Wednesday night I attended a 3 Seeds Cooking School class and learnt how to get the pork belly crackling really crispy. I thought for tonight’s dinner I would try to replicate the dish. I spent most of the day thinking about how I was going to cook dinner. All I could think of was crispy crackling.
To start the day though I enjoyed an egg on an English muffin along with some Buderim Ginger Factory ginger marmalade. After the grocery shopping I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and enjoyed some coffee and cake as well as seeing a pelican.

The caramel popcorn cupcake was really nice. The mocha also hit the spot nicely.
