This post includes the “rough” recipe.

Fried Christmas ham with french toast and maple syrup

I love Christmas ham! This time we enjoyed thick slices of ham lightly panfried, served with French toast and maple syrup. We had leftovers from two different Christmas hams this year, which we froze and then retrieved later. This was the ham from Christmas breakfast with my family.

Beef tataki at Hayashi Japanese Restaurant

Jac and I went out to dinner at Hayashi Japanese restaurant (2/15 Ogilvie Road, Applecross) to celebrate her birthday last month. The food was excellent, but my frustrations from incomplete restaurant service rose again to the surface!
