First things first - it’s Australia Day

So I need to “fly the flag” so to speak.

The menu this will will have a distinctly Australian flavour. And Australian’s are nothing if not lazy.

Monday: Meatloaf - the second of the ones I made last time.

Tuesday: Haystacks. Ok, so I don’t know if it’s particularly Australian, but it’s cheap and yummy. That’s all I need.

Wednesday: Out for dinner. The other Great Australian Tradition - having someone else cook for you.

Thursday: Sausage Casserole

Friday: Fish and Chips. Friday night fish and chips is about as Australian as you can get. Especially down at a beach, feeding the seagulls or watching the kids build sandcastles or play on the playground.

Saturday: Roast Chicken.

Sunday: BBQ Rissoles. Probably some sausages for the kids served with bread (for the kids) and salad for the big people. Served out the back by the barbie (not the blonde stick doll either) and downed with a bottle (or two) of beer. My idea of heaven.

It’s also “back to school” week here in Queensland, or, as it is for us, starting school week (otherwise known as  “oh my goodness, my baby is growing up and it’s all too much and I need to remember to put tissues in my handbag when I take her in for her first day and then spend the rest of the day a blubbering mess and get there 20 minutes early to pick her up” week. Hency the easy meals this week - I doubt I’ll be in any condition to cook much in the after school rush.
