What's for dinner tonight??
Well, it just may be something of a tragic presentation tonight in this house! We were supposed to have visitors on Saturday night, but they came down with the dreaded heavy cold symptoms so they were temporarily shut down until healed.
So what to do with the overpriced pork chops then? .. it was going to be a more or less barbeque type cook-in as opposed to a cook-out because of the weather.
Today, the chops may very well metamorphose into something of a stone age anti-feast ... meaning I've hacked the heavy crackling like shield off but left the bone .. problem is, that leaves very little meat, but then again, what's wrong with sucking on the bone to make it last longer I ask?
Then into the crockpot with a few carrots and potatoes with tomatoes, chives, garlic and associated herbs it all goes ... a mysterious, yet edible (hopefully) concoction may emerge.
Have a great day everyone, and may your culinary taste buds be encouraged to lead you to the pantry with higher hopes than mine today ... 
Last night we went to our local, and............ No chef, the barman had to cook dinner, had chicken schnitzel.
The bad news is that the property is owned by the council and they may not be renewing the lease in about 4 or 5 weeks time.
Half of the pokies have been removed (two of which are the ones we like to play.) 
Does not look promising, so may have to find another place to eat providing the meals aren't to dear.
Have our fingers crossed that it doesn't eventuate.

You'll have to look further afield for sustenance
Real sad if it happens, a nice quiet little club.
It's like Cheers, everyone knows your name, and good bunch of patrons & staff.
Wife said that if it shuts, then I will have to learn to cook other foods besides pastries.
Like I have nothing better to do. 
Hey Trav, it's about time you got back into making the pastries, I need some new ideas ....
