Lunch

We had another attempt at a Ham Salad Wrap.

• The Sun-dried Tomato Wrap is $1.00 per serve
• Ham is 92c per serve
• Add 30c for Mayonnaise
• Add 40c for salad ingredients.

While slicing the Ham helps the wrap curl, overall we’ve decided we aren’t fond of wraps. This one was okay for $2.62. A Tortilla/Wrap is basically just bread with no crust or crumb, i.e. the reasons to eat bread!

Dinner

Having been inspired you our Tagliata – Sliced Italian Steak on Arugula with Shaved Parmesan – in Italy, we made our own version.

• Two NY Strip Steaks were $15.18 and we shared one, or $3.80 per serve
• The Parmesan was $6.82 and we shared ¼, or 85c per serve
• The Arugula adds 45c per serve
• Moonblush Cherry Tomatoes add 30c per serve
• Balsamic Vinegar adds 35c per serve.

A quite simple meal, but very tasty for $5.75 per serve.

Lunch

We heated the remaining Baguette, spread liberally with Duck Mousse Pate and topped with fresh Endive.

• The Aldi ‘Bake at Home’ Baguette was $1.89, but we shared half, or 48c
• Duck Mousse Pate adds $2.00 per serve
• We shared one Endive or 67c per serve.

The Endive provided the crunch and wetness that perfectly complemented the Duck Mousse Pate, for a rather excellent sandwich for $3.15 per serve.

Dinner

A return to one of our standards: Beef Rissoles with an Australian inspired Salad.

• Ground beef $5.99 or $2.00 per serve
• 8 oz Panko breadcrumbs are $2.99 and we used half, or 50c per serve
• A Pastured Egg is 38c or 13c per serve
• The onion is 8c per serve
• Pickled beets in vinaigrette are $1.69, of which we used about ⅓ or 28c per serve
• We used about ½ of the $3.95 Sharp Cheddar, or 66c per serve
• Add 40c for sugar free Ketchup.

A very tasty meal with a very good balance between meat and vegetable components, for $4.06 per serve.
