Easter Menu

Here I am finishing my menu on Good Friday. Yesterday I went to the regional centre, it took all day to pick up some fire bricks for the heater for winter. It was a very warm day yesterday though, which is lovely, typical of the North East for Easter, just beautiful, and the scenery closer to home was the best, coming back.

We found a bulk Asian/Health Food shop there which is fantastic. They had split dried fava beans. It may help offset the price of LPG to drive there in the future.

We shopped at Coles and got some meat, however their mince was expensive this time. Did I buy any interesting food items while I was down there? Only harissa, which is good because I have come across it lately.

I was able to get this menu out using the vegetables with have and using some up, it is great, very happy. Bought some more black lentils (beluga). I based the menu on the meat I bought at Coles, which was loosely based around the vegetables and the fact our grown daughter is visiting and loves Sausage Casserole. We didn't have a vegetable delivery because of Easter, and luckily we had enough bread, because my husband and one daughter were away helping the others shift house, and I bought two loaves knowing about the Easter delivery.

Was very lucky I had a Hamper King Easter delivery of chocolate eggs.
