First stop - Vietnam


With the 'predicted' rapture and the coming of the zombies been and gone, aside from that it was a beautiful sunny weekend in Canberra with 18 degree days and night temperatures that didn't tip below zero, which is a rarity for this time of the year! I spent my weekend just hanging out with friends - dinner, drinks and general stupidity. 

After a weekend of eating and drinking too much, it was nice to finish it off with a light, fresh and healthy meal. Vietnamese always achieves these objectives, so I decided to cook Ca kho to - or caramel tamarind salmon and I will definitely be cooking this recipe again. It was dead easy to cook, yet highly impressive. Juicy salmon pieces coated in a sticky, sweet sauce - yum!


Oh, and for good measure, I also cooked a gingerbread cake with walnuts and a lemon glaze. Hope all my work mates enjoy this one tomorrow :)




I have no idea what I will be cooking next weekend yet, so stay tuned...
