Most mornings I’m making steel cut oats porridge for myself and DH . Using the TMX is good it takes awhile but worth it .

Yesterday made Chow Mien and SD crumpets. SD sad as it’s been in the fridge for a month without being fed. I fed for a day but this probably wasn’t enough . However a made crumpets with discard. Also fed Rye SD. I made plain crumpets, Rye SD crumpets and some 1/2. and 1/2. These were surprisingly good.
Also found ham bone from Xmas and made pea ham and veggie soup.

Think I may have had a 12 hour bug/ cold . I had so much chicken soup and honey lemon drinks . Slept most of this morning. Feeling a lot better tonight .

I seem to collect recipe ideas from the strangest places! Flying home from Darwin at 6 am , we were provided with breakfast.  On the tray was fresh fruit salad , a large salmon and cream cheese bagel and bread ( very good) and butter and jam. Also a cherry pastry. At first I thought the pastry case was puff pastry , but I think it was brioche. I would like to make these. So only 2 recipes to try from 3 weeks travel. I think we do better on the Forum.

Thanks to all for the welcome home. Meals away were all pretty simple, lots of buffets , but nothing spectacular. The only thing I’ll attempt to create was Popcorn Cauliflower with chilli caramel sauce. This was tasty and soft and crunchy. Everyone loved it.
For morning teas we were often catered for at country roadhouses. The families would put on a spread of home cooked cakes and bought party pies. If you watched the coach driver , you could tell what was best.
Lunch was often prepared by the driver and guide. These were often the best meals. Salads, smoked salmon , ham, dips,  olives, pickles , fruit salad.
The bus carried baskets of fruit, chips and lollies , where we could help ourselves during long trips.
