ASAB: So far the plan is working. I even got to the market this morning although it was seriously foggy and about 5 degrees! Next up, some reading of design magazines and dreaming up more ways to spend the hard earned cash on the house!
Chelsea: I wish I could remember where I found the pic. I think they may have been a gallery installation.
Esz: You are right, that is one of the reasons I am always going to the main site too. I hate to miss out on all the hard work people have put into making it a lovely place to be.

Hope you’re having a lovely, lovely weekend!

I don’t use a reader – probably should because then I’d be more up to date – I just like visiting blogs too much and seeing everything there, not just the bare bones of the latest post.

Oops that was supposed to read ‘a little lemon myrtle to taste’ and one sheet of paperbark per fillet.

You can serve the chicken cold too – refrigerate after resting and just slice them up to serve on bread, crackers etc

Oh can I recommend a lovely and simple dish:
chicken thigh fillets
a lemon myrtle to taste
damp paperbark (one per thigh fillet, you can buy these online or specialty stores), appropriately thinned
Bush tomato Chutney
macadamia nuts (crushed and blended into the chutney)
salt
oil for frying
butchers string

Sear the smooth skinned outer side of the fillets in a hot oiled pan, (or you can char-grill) browning one side only.

Remove from heat and cut a pocket in each fillet and spoon in the chutney.

Place the fillet, browned side up, onto the paperbark and wrap it lengthwise then folding the ends over the browned top side of the fillet. Tie up with the string.Put the parcel into a very hot dry pan,or over a char-grill and heat until it’s smoking.
Then continue cooking until you completely blacken all sides of the parcel.

Then leave to rest for a few minutes.
After the resting, remove the string and the paperbark ends. Cut them close to the fillet which should be browned side up. Unfold the rewmaining bark and fold back under the fillet.

Slice and serve with Roasted orange sweet potato(you can make a curried mango and pawpaw sauce for these that is DIVINE), marinated mushrooms (I have a different version if you are interested,
Lightly blanched snow pea’s (with a light drizzle of paper back oil is nice)and other assorted vegetables if you like.
