The table ordered 2 seafood platters, a few fish dishes and my boy got fish and chips which were apparently amazing. Me tho, I stuck to a burger because about 6 months ago I was at a restaurant eating lobster, fresh from the tank and prawns, which I've eaten more times than I can remember. Long story short, I ended up in the ER and needed 3 stabs of adrenaline to keep my airway open.

Last night my kid grabbed a piece of salt and pepper squid from the seafood platter and asked me if the batter was peppery, I tried a bit and just that made my eyes itchy. So no more seafood for me ever.

Wow - I've never been sick from seafood -
that was very unlucky. Shocked

Lamb shanks today:

https://www.recipetineats.com/slow-cooked-lamb-shanks-in-red-wine-sauce/

Hmmm bought rosemary not thyme—saw a lamb shank at the fine food shop and bought it then tried to remember what I needed. Fresh bay leaves from my tree. Bought a half bottle pinot noir—cheap brand not expensive—from the Tasmania shop. No point using expensive wine to cook.

Will have to scale down, above recipe calls for four shanks, I got one. Not a prob.

I had a lovely beef casserole pie yesterday:

That looks like a really nice pie!

It was excellent and worth every penny.
It cost $16.50 at a restaurant.

The same pies are shipped out fresh every day to
dozens of top restaurants around Melbourne.
Inside are large chunks of juicy, melt in the mouth beef.
There is also a delicate amount of herbs too.
The smell is beautiful.
