Here are three quick, easy recipes, you can believe they are easy because I
can make them, I cook to live, rather than live to cook and don’t have the
patience/skill to try for difficult stuff.
***Ingredients
1 Avocado pitted and mashed
1 or 2 teaspoons of crushed chilli, depends on just how hot you like
your dip.
(For the wimp version use sweet chilli sauce to taste.)
Juice of 1 small lemon
Third of a cup of mayonnaise
1 finely chopped small red onion, (or 1 cup chopped shallots)
***Method
Mix all ingredients together in a food mixer until smooth
Refrigerate, keeps well for 2 – 3 weeks, (it’s always gone by then.)
Tip – Improves with age, so make it a couple of days early.
(try to save some for the party though!)
***Easy Omelet
It did !!!!!
***Ingredients
2 eggs per person
Fillings to taste, (I used diced ham, chopped capsicum, and
shredded cheese)
Salt and pepper to taste.
***Method.
Place all ingredients into a large freezer bag
Shake well to mix ingredients
Tie top of bag and put into a pot of hot water, bring to boil
Cook until set
Remove omelet from bag, slice and serve immediately.
***Easy Fruit Slice
***Ingredients
I kg mixed dried fruit
2 cups of orange juice
2 cups of self raising flour
***Method
Soak the mixed fruit in the orange juice overnight.
Stir in the self raising flour, mix thoroughly.
Put mixture into 2 greased slice trays.
Preheat oven to 160 degrees
Cook for 1 hour at 160 degrees
***Variations;
Use 425 g can of crushed pineapple instead of orange juice
(may need a little more fluid ? see below.
***Christmas variation;
To the original recipe add a small handful of crushed nuts (Behave !)
A good slurp or a couple of good sloshes of your favorite spirit.
(I used Bundaberg Rum Liqueur Smoooooth !)
Come back real soon now y’hear, I’ve got some adorable knitting patterns
that I just can’t wait to share with y’all.
This has created a doubt in my mind about going ahead with the sharing
of knitting patterns, as I'm not sure what the conversion factors are for;
Purl, (could be Pearl ?) Plain, (could be Plane ?) slip a stich, cast on, cast
off, knit two together, and when we get to 20 g balls, well ! stop that...
I mean wool....
You're getting my drift here I hope.

Well, who'd a thunk you could make scrambled eggs in a bag? That would be handy camping out.
These are great recipes. I'm all for easy too. I love to cook and bake, and the easier, the better!
Peter ~ These recipes may work down under, but if we use these temps and amounts, disaster will ensue! P.S. ~Glad to see you're back with the stuff correctly lined up on the left (at least in IE). Good job! Sorry I had to go to Kansas City and was not hooked up online for a couple of days. Glad to see you're up and running correctly again my friend! ~ jb///
Bag o' Eggs. Gotta try that.
I like easy too. I cook a lot but it better be a forgiving recipe. Thanks!!
Recipes and knitting? Is there something you're trying to tell us, Peter? LOL
That bag o' eggs sounds great, Who knew!?
Gotta try that omelet in a bag thing!
...When I serve it, I'll call it Peter's Outback Omelet. When are the macrame tips scheduled?
Ah, the addendum makes everything much clearer.
Hi Peter ~ Dorrie gave me a variation on the fruit slice.
Make 2 cups black coffee and soak
fruit in that. Then add the 2 cups of S.R flour and a small block of fruit & nut chocolate cut
small. I tried it & grated the chocolate. Either recipe can be make into a fruit cake, but I prefer the slice version.
The recipes were a kick! As for the knitting pattern... I came across the pattern while "organizing" this past weekend. ROFL I'd forgotten I had it. I don't knit though, maybe I need to pick it up again. I'm pretty sure we're talking the same pattern here... ;-)
Have a good day!
Peter ~ Thanks for translating these into ENGLISH (no wait... make that American!) I love the new blog photo to. Nice place, but it looks more like Tahiti than Australia. But ya' know… I never minded your REAL picture! You know the one with your FACE?
Holy moley now I am starvin' LOL! Now if only I could find me a hot male chef. hmmm...

I've never cooked eggs or an omelet that way but I intend to try it soon.
