With The Old Girl away I'd kind of planned out the things I was going to cook for myself. Some of the dishes 'planned' are Nicoise salad, Caesar salad, pizza, stir fry, Kaimai steak KAIMAI, bacon and egg pie, fish and chips, stuffed potatoes, beetroot salad and orange and kumara pasta.
It's the last two that I've run into a problem with.
Northland has a problem with the supply of apples and kumara. The kumara stocks and replanting were last year decimated by Cyclone Gabriel and the other bad weather and Hawks Bay orchards were devastated by the same. Nowhere can I find either.
I need the apple - Granny Smith green apple for my beetroot, apple and carrot salad with pomegranate molasses as a dressing.

The other dish that I'm thwarted by lack of ingredient for is Pasta Siciliana which I've made many times and absolutely love.
Unfortunately I cannot make it without kumara (I use golden kumara). I don't see potato as a viable alternative.
Bummer!
Where is Hawks Bay? Is it near the Ycato?

Stick them up …… um, stick them in a safe place to use later.
And the possessive apostrophe?

FUCK! Or, should I say fuc'ke!
DeleteLet's just revert to the Maori name of Te Matau-a-Māui).
They didn't have apostrophes (but, surprisingly had hyphens and a written language. Who knew?).
The language was written down to the sounds that are used in Maori.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that they didn't tell you that in 3P.

Oh, what sounds do apostrophes and hyphens make in Māori?
DeleteThey have one sticky side so that you can stick them up your arse
