Bush Tucker

 Since we have been travelling, we have only had to resort to tinned spag once and I have been trying to put tasty, filling and good food on the table each night. Some times this has been a challenge, once at Archer Point, the wind was so strong that it kept blowing the gas out and we had to build a make shift barrier, move the cooker and cook bloody fast. That night we had coconut beef curry and rice.
 Other times, like at Port Stewart, I had precious little left due to a malfunctioning fridge. That time we had Chick pea soup and fried chorizo and James made a fine damper.
 Daniel caught a good size barracuda and we were told that they weren't that good eating. Not to waste fresh food, especially when food up here is SO expensive, eg; 3 chicken legs $13.50! I cut up the fish, marinated it with garlic, chilli and terriaki. Stir fried it with some veges and had it with rice..it was very tasty and the fish was great eating.
 I have learnt to make a little go along way and there is no place for a fussy eater. Daniel has had to learn to eat things he wouldn't at home and it hasn't hurt him at all. Iv'e always said that there is nothing wrong with cooked carrots!
 Check out whats been on the menu:

Browning the meat for my cowboy stew with dumplings.

I prefer to cook on the fire as I love the smokey taste the camp oven gives the food, plus it is usually one pot cooking, less washing up!

Simmering beautifully.

Yum!

You just can't beat fresh fish baked on coals.

Asian soup with pork dumplings, noodles & cabbage. Daniel didn't even pick out the cabbage!

A stir fry always goes down well.

 When you get enough coals, then you can bake anything you want. We tried the old humble roast chook and see for your self how it turned out.

Season chook and veges.

Good coals top and around the oven.

Sit back and relax while it roasts.

The roast was sensational! 

My place of work..and I love it!
