    Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian don't both just bring hummus and bread

    Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian aren't both thinking "hope the Kiwi doesn't do Pavlova - it's just meringue and whipped cream FFS. Yeah and isn't it dinki di Aussie anyway?"

    Yep! You need to do a rolled shoulder of Christmas lamb, @Nepia!!

    We're already doing a roast chicken as the "main" - plus I live in inner city Sydney, like I can afford lamb after paying my accomodation costs. 😉

    I've got 2.5kgs of rolled pork loin going cheap...comes infused with the Northern Beaches Rona

    Hahaha, I'll head over grab it, get tested, go into iso and sit at home for Xmas playing PS4 but well stuffed with pork.

    Just checked it on the ferry for you bro, and I threw in one of these that I spotted at my local Coles today - you're set!

    _IMG_000000_000000.jpg

    Sorted. 🙂

    So made my pav last night - spectacular failure. I last made one when I was 13. I knew I shouldn't have followed in online recipe that called it The Great Aussie Pav.

    I'm going to give it another shot tonight, but I'm going to grab a Harris Farm/Coles one as a just in case back up.

    Should have said I'd bring boil up.

    No Edmunds Edmonds Cookbook? Never made a pav but make killer meringues ... assume it's just a bigger splodge on the baking sheet?

    I do recall some advice from @Crucial (pretty damn sure it was him) god knows how many years ago about not using plastic bowls and utensils. Something to do with fat remaining remaining attached to it and fucking up the structure of the fluffy eggs.

    An ice cold virtual schooner to @mariner4life for helping us out with the tour today. Satisfied customers all round in the Boo household.

    She's a pretty good day huh? Managed to satisfy the olds (me and Mrs boo) and the cynical 17yo. 🙂

    For those interested Mariner's company run a couple of tourist attractions in Kuranda in the mountains above Cairns, and organise tours up via the Kuranda Scenic Railway, and down via the Skyrail, a massive fuck-off gondola high above the jungle.

    Whole day is well worth doing if anyone is up this way. Very much recommended.

    Thanks for the help with that.

    Won't bore you with weather details (@MN5 ) 🙂

    I've had a cracking Xmas eve, had friends over for 7hrs, eaten and drank way too much, but still managed to get the table tennis table set up just now for kids pressie tmrw morning (if you'd ever seen me on the tools, you'd understand what an achievement that was for me)

    Tomorrow could be a touch dusty, but will be fun.

    I've always had my suspicions, with all that cooking knowledge, that @Crucial is really Heston Blumenthal
