The Canberra Hospital – What I think, watch, listen to, and eat each week

What do you call this?

The Canberra Hospital staff tuck shop was offering this today for lunch. Normally I go for the seafood plate which is a piece of battered fish, a few crumbed prawns, a seafood stick and some other things that I’ve never really worked out but it’s all deep-fried and it tastes good.

For something different, I asked what was in the main tray and I couldn’t really understand what the server was saying. It was very noisy and my deafness doesn’t help.

It has asparagus, mushroom, rice, cheese and I think it was bound with eggs. It was stiff and kept its shape. It tasted okay. I don’t know what to call it, though.

Do you know what to call it?

TGIF hello weekend

Yay, it’s the end of a Friday and the weekend is nearly upon Canberra. It was quite warm today, I think the bureau of meteorology predicted it would get to 35 °C (95 °F).

I was fortunate, I was in a laboratory all day and it was nicely air conditioned.

I’ve already shared a photograph of the hospital but I played around in Adobe Lightroom and enhanced it a little.

Even though I had a Mavi Special breakfast wrap (bacon, hash brown, fried egg, mushrooms, cheese, barbeque sauce) for breakfast with a coffee in a mug, I still ate a reasonable-sized lunch.

The Canberra Hospital has a staff tuck shop and on, Fridays they usually do a seafood ‘basket’. It’s so much of a basket, but a plate!

After a busy afternoon, I wasn’t feeling very hungry so I thought I’d go very simple and go meat-free. I decided to cook some corn using a technique that I’ve described elsewhere and on YouTube. You can see I like adding some corn with my butter 😂😋
