He can shoot and rarely misses.
How many kids you got again Skids? |
You're talking point blank range there, no aiming required.

I can't shoot 
Reminds me of when the old boy showed me how to cook it up.
Was working on a gas compressor station out in the East Pilbara and staying at a nearby cattle station (Lyndon Station), living in the old shearers quarters. Must of been the mid 90's I think.
Dotty cooked it up for us one night and it was superb, was the texture of a lamb shank and delicious. I said how good it was and asked him if he could cook up some more before we left.
Next day, sitting out the front of my room having a beer and old Dotty comes walking past, a rifle over one shoulder and three fresh roo tails.
We went into the kitchen and he showed me how to skin ém and which parts of the tail were best for the oven. added some oild, some bush spices and put them in, would you believe, an oven bag |
What woud you need shearers quarters for on a cattle station

You never know.
To spice things up a funnel at 3 paces might be used twice a year.

Got a beef roast slow cooking in the crockpot. Pull that out shortly and make a sauce out of the liquid.
Also got chicken fillets simmering with stock, wine, bacon, garlic, mushrooms and onion. Add the cream and Parmesan shortly.
Serve with mashed spuds and steamed veges. |
Chicken sounds good. How long do u cook it for?
Hubby cooked roast turkey breast last night, and lots of roast veggies, he always cooks Sunday. Saturday we were at a wedding, really good finger food trays, not little shit stuff that doesn't fill you up, mini burgers and big chunks of calamari. Friday went to a friends for dinner, I made a sugar free sticky date cake, and they cooked up a fantastic BBQ. While we were waiting for the meat, I mixed up an Mexican avocado dressing for her that had her in raptures! Thursday i stupidly decided to make Jamie's super greens canaloni, they tasted really good, the sauce was fabulous, cooked salmon to go with it and some calamari steaks, but geezus it took forever to clean the mess, the kitchen, my hair, my clothes, next time I'm using flat canaloni, lasagna, vegetarian lasagna, I'm making lasagna.
So daughters boyfriend rocked up last week with a big home made pizza, half potato, (yuk) half pesto, the pesto was to die for, this week he turns up with a big plate of quiche slice. I'm not sure what to think. Maybe the kids tell her I don't feed them. True, weekends we might go out for dinner one night, and hubby. Cooks Sunday, but I've cooked him plenty of edible meals. And they've been her for a BBQ I pulled all stops out at, and a couple of Christmas and birthday parties. My daughter says 'oh she was just cooking up a big bunch of pizzas, or as the week before that, lasagnas' who does that?
So next weekend they are having a spit, they are Italian and something else, so Easter is big, and we aren't doing anything, so she says 'well they are having a do!' Which is cool! They generally do alternate weekends. So I'm thinking I'll make an extra sticky date for them, and maybe some cookie dough protein balls. A couple of flavours!
I am so not into this let's share baking shit, I just can't compete! She makes stuff that looks like itcane out of a pastry shop. Is it in the DNA?
I mean I can cook, I just really don't feel like it very often. I'm doing a jaimie recipe slow cooked beef thing tonight. 37 days and no real cooking for 33 days! Yippee!

Lyndon was originally a sheep station but the poms soon worked out that the land/weather was no good for sheep. It's even pretty harsh country for cattle, hence the droughtmaster breed that now roam the million acres.
They've upgraded since I was there.
Lyndon Station
Historic property situated on the ‘Woolwagon Pathway’ self drive trail, Lyndon Station Cottage Stay is a friendly stopover for travellers visiting Mt Augustus, Ningaloo Reef, Coral Bay and Exmouth. Caravanners and Campers welcome.
• Working Cattle Station
• Beautifully restored self-contained 2 bedroom cottage with original pressed tin walls, modern bathroom, aircon, TV
• 2 bed cottage sleeps up to 4 (1 queen and 2 singles)
• Wonderful views of the bush and red ear ‘Outback’ country
• Mud map provided to explore scenic spots and waterholes
• Home-style meal package using organic beef and seasonal organic vegetables inc/breakfast, lunch (packed if req) and dinner $60 adult, $30 child
http://www.australiasgoldenoutback.com/Listing/Lyndon_Station
If you're ever doing a trip through WA, I highly recommend getting out to see the Darcys' at Lyndon. It's 150k off the bitumen, a 4WD is the go although on a visit back there about 10 years ago, I drove an old EF falcon out there.

Chicken sounds good. How long do u cook it for?
![/quote]
Depends, an hour or so. I'm imprecise on stuff like that.
I just brown the fillets, take them out and fry the onion garlic, mushies etc in some butter and olive oil, chuck in some stock and white wine, put the fillets back in. get it to the boil (covered) then turn down to low and wander away.
Moisture all stays in the meat as it's basically being braised so a couple of hours is fine, if you're in a hurry you could do it all in less than an hour.
memo to self, reduce the amount of liquid next time before adding the cream, it came out too runny for what I was after

Had left over beef curry with fresh curry leaves (a woman at work brought in lots of home grown curry leaves form her backyard tree & little limes). Daughter no 2 made various salads with left overs in the fridge including a corn capsicum salsa like salad, and some grain I'm not familiar with ? farrah with tiny currants, cauliflower & other bits & pieces as well as using up all the left over zucchini in an egg like zucchini dish.
The youngest took a nibble of a small homegrown chilli & thought this isn't too bad, so she thought it would be a good idea (who the F knows why) to have the whole lot. Was a Jalapeño from the garden. She didn't realize how many seeds were jam packed in there. She suffered & had resolved by the time I got home from work yesterday!

geez, if a jalapeno made her suffer she should stay away from real chillies.

| We observe strict food rituals for Good Friday. However, last night Golden Terrace wasn't open, so we had to get our chicken and lamb doner from Alaysa. |

We have lots of the little killers too: the thai tiny chillies. Having said that she laughed at her self so the word suffer is being used liberally.
I don't like too much chilli in my food these days.

The Thai birds eye chillies are great. Nice amount of heat and you can mix it up or down depending on taste.
jalapenos are nice, but just add a bit of warmth. I'll put 2 home grown sliced jalapenos in an omelette with cheese and bacon, and put hot sauce on top to eat.
