Fishy Tale

Tonight for tea, I had a surprise for Pat. Rainbow trout, grilled with a fresh side salad.



Not all of the salad is from our vegie patch. But the fish is true blue Aussie.

Those fish shops at the market give a great range of Aussie caught fish and good prices. This little fella was $13.99 a kilo and it set me back $5.10.

We have also started to buy marinated whole chickens for roasting from a butcher in the markets. Bigger than the stupidmarket ones they sell and only costing $6.00. This will easily feed 4 people or in our case a hot meal and then a cold meal with salads.

Also pork chops are a better price as well. Plus a bigger size than some of scrawny loin chops that are sold in stupidmarkets.

Start looking outside your stupidmarkets for cheaper meats.....its worth the look round.



Someone asked me ....."Why do you call them stupidmarkets"?


I answered with...."What is so super about them"?????


He laughed and said that made a lot of sense and he liked my reasoning.

Until next time....hoo roo

Leafy Greens

Looks lovely doesn't it

To buy this at the shops, you are looking at about $3.99. Sprayed with goodness knows what and in those plastic bags... to keep the shelf life longer.

I picked this today out of my garden, baby rock and baby lettuce leaves. Organic and fresher than what you'll buy anywhere.

These leafy greens are being grown out in my vegie patch. If you want to grow them yourself and don't have the space in your garden. Why not grow them in a large pot or a broccoli box from your local green grocer's shop. Often these are given away free.

These plants are able to be left in the pots (or soil) for weeks and just pick the leaves every few days. Weeks of picking from the plants with not much needed to care for them.

Can't get any easier than that. So why not give it a try

Until next time....hoo roo
