...tortilla...
...normally we'd buy... but forgot and I wanted to use up spicy mince from the freezer... so I found a recipe.... my boy and I had fun making too - bonus!!
Flour Tortilla Recipe (from Edmonds Cookbook)
2c plain flour
1/2 t salt
5 tablespoons oil
1/2c warm water (approximately)
Sift flour and salt into bowl. Stir in oil. Add sufficient water to form a soft dough. Knead dough for 3 mins or until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 30mins. Lightly knead dough again. Divide dough evenly into 12 pieces. Roll each portion of dough into a ball. Cover. Take one portion of dough at a time and on a lightly floured board roll to a 20cm circle, turning dough over frequently during this time. Repeat with remaining dough, stacking between sheets of waxed paper. Heat a heavy-based frying pan. Cook one tortilla for approx 20 seconds or until golden. Turn and cook other side. If tortilla puffs up while cooking, gently press it down with a fish slice or spatula. Transfer to plate. Cover with foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Use as required. Makes 12.
...we only made half mix for the two of us which was plenty... we even got to 'test' them hot from the pan for flavour....

...my garden salad...
...disproportionately proud of my gardening efforts I suppose... but first attempt at growing tomatoes... they started to ripen just before we left the country (typical...)...
...so had to squeeze in a (mostly) home-grown salad before we left...
...this dinner is one of my favourite concoctions as pretty much everything can be done in parts/stages well before they're needed to go on the plate - so fits around baby sleeping, dishes, washing, school pickups, etc, etc... Alison Holst's Paprika Baked Chicken coating (which I make in bulk and which some of my family say is better than KFC - high praise from Pacific Islanders?!?!), self-crusting quiche (also Alison Holst's), and our salad veges/ basil plus a NZ avocado bought for exorbitant price in Aussie supermarket...
