What We Ate- Feb 5th-12th- Happy Birthday Runner!

 

So, this week was a big week of birthday celebrations.

We kicked off the party on Friday night at a new restaurant in Surry Hills called Master.  It was tasty, trendy, and very unconventional.   As with most fancy restaurants these days, it was all share plates- which is nice for dinner for two, but can be a downer in a group.  Luckily, it was just The Runner and I.  We had quite a few different dishes- most were delicious and totally off the wall.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day from The Runner and I!  

We hope everyone has enjoyed the company of friends and loved ones and of course lots of food!  Santa brought me 4 new cookbooks this year which is exciting!

I hope you’ve had a fabulous day with your family and friends.

In case you were wondering what we’ve been up to, here are some recipes I’ve made over the past couple of days!

Donna Hay’s Slow Cooked Stout and Brown Sugar Ham— the sauce is literally to die for, I let it reduce for a couple of hours until it was a gooey, Guinness-y sticky sugary mess!

Adam Liaw’s Orange Glazed Turkey with Scarborough Fair Stuffing- I put herbs and butter under the turkey skin before I cooked it and added craisins and white wine to the stuffing and cooked it out of the bird.

Eggnog Pancakes– pretty tasty and not as lethal as the actual Eggnog I made on Christmas Eve.

Enjoy the rest of your Christmas night or the start of your Boxing Day morning!
