No snow in oz.. its a typical warm aussie summer day.....


Got home early from work.... about 4:30pm and i started cooking the family x'mas even dinner... チョキ


Since the cheese cake needed to be cooled for a few hrs before eating i made this first... so it was a toblerone cheese cake, i kinda changed bits of it from the recipe... hehe


Caz's Corner


the base had to be set... so crushed oreo, almonds and melted butter
Caz's Corner

patted down flat and straight into the fridge
Caz's Corner

mixed the philly cheese with the mixer
Caz's Corner

melted choco in between
Caz's Corner

mixed the melted choco and the cream


Caz's Corner

poured the mixture into the tin
Caz's Corner


next was the main dish.... lamb... fried it on the hot plate


Caz's Corner

then placed onto a baking tray
Caz's Corner

then poured the sweet miso sauce i made already.. then was ready to be grilled and served when my sis came home from work
Caz's Corner

side of mash potato was made as well.... by the way its not that much butter as it seems... thin slice from the cube


Caz's Corner

entree was the scallop risotto


took the raw scallops off the shells and chopped it into smaller cubes and pan fried to remove the juices
Caz's Corner

fried the smoked bacon, in the pan and then the already boiled rice and cream into the pan, the added the scallops quickly by not over cooking them... also added salt/pepper too
Caz's Corner


then scooped them into the shells (which were washed and dried by then)
Caz's Corner

sprinkled some cheese on top
Caz's Corner

its ready when the cheese has melted... made this recipe up by the way.... i had something like this in a restaurant once and was hoping this would taste the same... haha
Caz's Corner

the lamb cutlet served with salad and the mash potato
Caz's Corner

the toblerone cheese cake ready for dessert
Caz's Corner

felt so unorganised when i was cooking it up... the time pressure for the food to be hot when everyone was home and to be ready to be eaten at the sametime and plated up.... multi tasking in the kitchen is hard, something i'm not great at... :P


need to keep practising.... practice makes perfect right??


i guess i have a few days off so might attempt another dish or two...
