When I bought my last side of beef, I got the butchers to cut up all the
bones and I made 13 litres of beef stock - it's all sitting in the freezer
waiting for a decision on the steamboat.

The joys of having a big fridge or freezer, ours' is always full.

We like BKT very much. Usually have it very simple with lamb chops in the
broth, spring onions scattered on the top and a Sambal Fried Rice
alongside.

With loads of spicy white pepper i hope! Mmmmm.

Close, but no banana. Bunbury, about 180k south. Left Perth 13 years
ago.
As for the summer, it's started early and looks like being a hot one.
Glad
I'm on the ocean down here.

Sounds really nice where you are, it's cold, wet & grey..... typical UK
winter here. Now all i have to say is Bah Humbug & that'll be Xmas over with
this year. Next roll out the large earthen pots & dig out the precious
ingredients hidden in the back of our cupboards & CNY (on the 22nd Jan) will
be the one i'm really looking forward to.
