What do I call this?

by

Okay, it’s been a shocker of a work week. Tonight I left work and knew all I had was some sweet potato and Gruyere cheese. What to do?

Okay so I’ll tell you what I put in this and you tell me what it is (please).

Grated sweet potato
Grated Gruyere cheese
Chopped onion
Pouring cream
One beaten egg
Chilli flakes
Course ground black pepper
Asparagus spears

I mixed the sweet potato, Gruyere cheese and onion and lightly packed into a Pyrex dish. I beat an egg and added to some pouring cream and added to the dish. I added chilli flakes, pepper and asparagus spears and then topped with a little more Gruyere cheese.

So what do I call this?

It tasted good, that’s all I know 🙂

Steak at Kingsleys steak and crab house in Canberra

by

On Friday night we went to Kingsleys steak and crab house. It was my first time. I recall a post from Jen when she took Mr J out for his birthday dinner there recently. It didn’t dawn on me until I was seated and reading the menu.

In a strange coincidence, it seems I have chosen a meal that is very popular, viz., the Angus beef eye fillet (300 g) and caramel cheesecake with peanut brittle.

For a starter we had the Chilli squid with aioli and crisp chickpeas which was really nice. The squid was tender and the chilli crumb coating was a nice balance. I’d never had crisp chickpeas before. They were a nice texture. The other nice touch was the squid was not swimming in aioli. It was the right amount.

For a main meal I went with the Angus beef eye fillet. It was cooked rare and 300 g of goodness (and happiness). It was served with a creamy potato mash and béarnaise sauce.

For dessert we had the caramel cheesecake with peanut brittle. It was delicious.

I can highly recommend Kingsleys steak and crab house. Next time I’m going for Alaskan King Crab and think about The Deadliest Catch.
