Yes! I did eat all that meat.

I have the utmost respect for people who choose not to eat meat. In 1984 I didn’t eat meat because my cadaver reminded me of roast lamb. Having to spray it with formalin each day to keep the flesh preserved and from going off just put me off meat.

Once anatomy was over I got back into eating meat again.

Tonight I thought about salmon and then saw a small piece of lamb shoulder that I thought I would like to roast.

This was so tender and it smelt so good, I nearly pulled a tooth when I started chewing on the string used to tie it together.

I often feel like eating steak. For the last few months my staple protein has been skinless chicken thigh. That said I have been allowing myself red meat every now and then.

A few weeks ago I had an Angus rib eye fillet at Kingsleys steak and crab house. The steak was amazingly tender. That’s an onion ring on top

Last weekend I had a Scotch rib fillet with prawns and calamari at the Canberra Southern Cross Club at Jamison. It was pretty awesome.

Tonight I wanted to cook myself some steak. This is a Scotch rib fillet from Coles. It’s sitting on a sweet potato stack. It’s topped with cheese and avocado and a side of roast pumpkin.

This was a very satisfying meal. The creaminess of the avocado and the juiciness of the steak went so well together.

This morning we met friends at Pizzazz Café for brunch. I had sausages, an egg, spinach and mushrooms.
For dinner we had roast lamb, Aubergine, pumpkin, parsnip and broccoli.
Dessert was a wonderful creme brûlée and mango.

I was feeling quite low today and thought preparing something complicated would take my mind off things.

Tonight I had a rack of pork cutlets. I thought I would serve the pork loin with a pumpkin risotto and broccoli. I’ll keep the pork fillet and bones for a slow cook type meal later in the week.

I made my first risotto last night so this was a bit of an experimental extension. And no, I did not eat the fat or the crackling. I need to stop eating too much fat.
