Lebanese food has to be my favourite - I grew up on it after all lol.

I'm the main cook in our family because I'm retired and have the time and my Mrs works. I learned to cook for myself living remote in the NT. I have a pretty large repertoire but mainly cook Mexican, Thai, and some Indonesian and Malay. I also do a couple of Italian dishes. I have a large (about 60 sqm) garden and grow alot of the necessary spices and rarer veggies I need for favourite dishes, so I can make my curry pastes and mexican sauces from scratch. Tonight I'm making a Balinese yellow curry that is a family favourite. I also bake two sourdough loaves every week and they generally last us through the week.
My Mrs is Austrian and her repertoire is mostly Austrian, Italian and Indonesian. All are yum. She and my son are both excellent pastry chefs so we pretty much always have cakes or doughnuts or chocolate eclairs or cookies available for desserts. I don't have a sweet tooth, which is lucky or I'd be as big as a house.
I'm reading all these posts about Turkish, Greek and Lebanese and am jealous because I reckon Turkish and Greek would have to be my favourite cuisines even ahead of Thai. There are no really good Turkish, Greek or Lebanese restaurants that I know about up this way, even in Cairns.

Pastitsio is quite an easy dish if you want to try it ......and leftovers for lunch the next day ...Greek style

I'll have a look for a recipe online unless you can recommend a good one.

Elbows on the table ...wore a wooden salt shaker between the eyes from point blank range for that .........

Always had to wash your face and hands before eating and you always had to take your cap or hat off when seated at the table...

Excused from the table before leaving ...no watching TV ....farting at the dinner table ......If you ask me 3 farts and that was like 3 Michelin stars from me ....

Anyone watched the youtube channel "rate my takeaway" ? Become one of my favs.

I love food and I’ve learned to appreciate just about every type of cuisine.

I cooked grilled octopus for dinner tonight. I reckon it’s the most underrated of all the seafoods.
