So how did my corned beef congee taste?
It tasted great. I have a couple of containers left for leftovers during the week. The containers are now in my freezer solidifying.
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.
Eat the congee and reminisce of the a great food childhood

So today I slept in a little and enjoyed some low fat scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.
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.
After the walk I went and put some diesel into my car and then went about preparing dinner.
For lunch I had leftover asparagus and silverbeet soup with some Greek yoghurt and Parmesan cheese.
I spent the afternoon doing some work, watching House, MD on Netflix and trying to stay warm.
Tonight I spoke with my daughters via FaceTime and enjoyed a Father’s day by myself.

I’ve had a good weekend. I’ve been doing a two day learning course on Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. I’ve been using Lightroom for a couple of years but I know very little about Photoshop. It was a really good experience. The weekend was arranged by the Canberra School of Photography and the teacher was David Harradine. I’d happily recommend courses by Irene Lorbergs at CSP and David from whack.com.au
I’ve also eaten well this weekend mind you at the course I ate nut muesli bars, potato chips and diet coke.
Check out this gallery for some of what I ate and some stuff I learnt about layers and masks in Photoshop.

What did you get up to this weekend? What did you eat this weekend?
Well yesterday was huge. I got to spend the day in the fresh air (please note yesterday’s apparent temperature was close to subzero degrees Celsius all day) learning from AFP experts about explosives and bombs.
This morning I enjoyed a whole grain English muffin. One one half I had some Oxford marmalade and on the other half I had some Buderim Ginger Factory ginger, lemon and lime marmalade. For lunch I had leftover organic red rice pork congee with chunks of ham hock on rye bread as a toasted sandwich. For dinner I had a couple of BIRDS EYE salmon patties with some quinoa rice and kale.
