Scratch and sniff time

Todays post requires a modicum of audience participation

and a great deal of imagination because I am going to

attempt to bring to you, by the miracle of the internet,

- aroma!

 So flare those nostrils, limber up your olfactory senses and

prepare to be underwhelmed - it could all go horribly wrong!

Students at Canberra Catering College practicing their didgeridoo techniques

 

My daughter in law's family hail originally from the Lebanon

and tonight we will be dining on Djaj a Riz served with an

Australian accent and dished up with a didgeridoo

followed by Koala a la Grec (no, sorry, I lied about that bit

but it just tripped from my tongue before I could stop it).

These dudes have no sense of homour.

 

 I feel sure that if you concentrate hard enough you'll be able to pick it up.

You should be getting chicken breast simmering with

cinnamon, cloves, cardomon, allspice, pine nuts

and, of course, coarsely ground black pepper.

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble 

 

It's been bubbling away for hours and reports are being received of

smellings as far away as Seattle and downtown Burbank.

Do keep those emails coming in, there's a prize for the wackiest whiff.

 

Later this afternoon my little marsupial will strain it all through

her pouch whilst singing Advance Australia Fair to the tune of Bat out of Hell,
taking care not to scald the resident Joey,

before lightly boiling some fragrant rice in the remaining stock.

 

I think I shall go for a walk around the block before my

gastric juices go into meltdown!

 

Wish you were here?   Bon appetit!
