    last night was lamb steaks and potato on the bbq, with a side of pasta topped with fresh veg cooked up on the burner outside. was delish (and soooo goood knowing most of it ccame from our garden!)

    lunch today will be the left over pasta (had zuc, three colored capsicums, tomato, onion) made into pasta bake with three cheese topping, and bbq meat. DH going away tonight, so i'm guessing toasted sandwich sounds good!

    it is now officially too hot to even cook on the bbq. I reckon J has been cooked an extra few weeks ahead now

    Tonight we are having visitors so I scrapped the bbq idea and am now ordering pizzas. I don't think they deliver though...bugger!

    From Taste....

    Vietnamese chicken noodle salad
    Preparation Time 15 minutes

    Cooking Time 15 minutes

    Ingredients (serves 4)
    3 small (about 500g) single chicken breast fillets
    150g rice stick noodles
    1 tbs rice vinegar
    2 tbs fresh lime juice
    1 tbs sweet chilli sauce
    2 tsp fish sauce
    2 tsp peanut oil
    100g (2 cups) finely shredded Chinese cabbage
    2 carrots, peeled, coarsely grated
    8 green shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally
    1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
    1/4 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves
    Method
    I'm buying a choock from the local chicken shop. It's already cooked and it's lilydale free range, can't beat that!
    (Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Coarsely shred chicken and place in a large bowl. )

    Meanwhile, place noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Stir with a fork to separate. Drain well.
    Place vinegar, lime juice, sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and oil in a screw-top jar and shake until well combined.
    Add the noodles, cabbage, carrot, green shallot, mint and coriander to the chicken and gently toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine. Divide the salad among serving plates and serve immediately.
