Prawn in a seafood and burnt honey sauce. The burnt honey has a remnant butterscotch and caramel taste. Combine that with the reduced seafood stock and you have something a bit unique. At Ardo, Robe SA

I reckon it was a good three or four years ago o did a post about the economy taking our play money away, meaning that the cost of living was tightening and the rates were starting to rise.
As the politicians know we will, we all adjusted, reorganised our own spending, made cuts and traded down brands and expectations. To think that has actually been us for the last three or fours years is petty daunting.
So in all that time while we made cuts and shuffled around the priorities in our life and did the responsible thing and made the tough decisions, the government has not done anything differently. It’s starting to feel like they never will.
We have made some cuts ourselves. Almost gone are the white napkin restaurant meals. Unless it’s a special occasion. Now I don’t drink alcohol so I’m a cheap diner, even then a dinner for a couple at a white tablecloth here will cost $300+ when it’s used to be $200 just a few years ago. So we got unless often, we eat at local places and pubs.
How about you? How is this economy changing the way you eat?

You know you’re going to get a perfectly cooked steak here. They just nail it every time. And the quality of the beef (mostly their own) is first class.
You also know it’s going to be old school down to the chevapchichi jacket potato and Russian salad.
And there’s nothing wrong with that!
Shout out also we sat at table 72. There were a lot of people there that night. A function space full plus the extended restaurant in two spaces I’m guessing maybe 300-400 people.
And our meal was on the table inside 40mins. In a steakhouse with that many diners that’s amazing. The glasses were kept full and the cadence of the evening was well managed. Bravo 👏🏻

Doesn’t seem fair that the cost of living increases are so detrimental on anyone with a fixed income, let alone our seniors on a pension who are struggling in these times.
And rarely is anything said about this issue that has one pensioner I know swallowing her pride and accepting charity for food and other needs, all while in the long queue for medical care that has her stuck on a walker with minimal mobility.
Groceries have increased around 30% since Albanese came to office they have increased pension payments by 18% that leaves a 12% gap. Let alone things like power bills increasing 50% and if you’re a senior whose renting then likely all your income is allocated to costs before any discretionary spending.
It’s a sad reflection on a once wealthy and proud country that respected and valued its elderly citizens.
If I were ever to run for a seat one issue I’d take up would be a gst concession for pensioners on all groceries. Of course fresh food and other items are already gst exempt but a concession some way to addressing this inequity.
What do you thing?

With the interest rates continuing to make life difficult for almost everyone now, it was a reminder of what we lovingly call “bogan tea” in our house which is code for cheap and cheerful eats that remind us of a humble suburban origins growing up in the 1970s and 80s.
This one is my personal favourite. When nachos first appeared it was an absolute revelation. Never before had a main meal combined chips and anything (except my mother did too a tuna bake with crushed potato chips occasionally) so this was genuinely the best thing to come along in forever.
Then when doing ration packs for the Australian military I researched all the ready to eat tinned meals and discovered this sleeping beauty - Stagg Chilli. Another match made in heaven for a guy who loves meat and those beans just filled you up. These two ingredients needed to get to know each other!
So here it is our price busting, time poor, humble suburban “no cook” nachos.
Warning this scrubs up pretty good. Like pretty damn good. Raise a tin to the RBA and our government as we all work our way through the back of the pantry to keep the cost of living down!

There’s a pizza joint on the esplanade at Port Macdonnell directly opposite the crayfishing fleet that does these awesome things.
Yes one is a “crayfish” (Southern Rick Lobster) pizza, the other fresh prawns and salami. Both delicious.
We just loved Port Mac. It’s slow lazy quiet cold and windy. Just what we wanted to unwind for a few days.
Hit this joint up if you find yourself there. The pub is very friendly too.j

I booked this fabulous cafe for lunch at Nelson. The menu looked super good to be honest I was surprised it was in such a small town I just assumed it was someone’s passion project and the location at the mouth of the Glenelg River must be special.
So we dressed up a little and headed off across the border from SA into Victoria. We allowed for the time zone change. We arrived hungry.
Then the confusion started, where actually is this joint? A couple of laps of the town later we stopped to check the website for the address. Then I realised the restaurant I booked was in Nelson Bay NSW. A 14 hour drive away.
So we ate at the pub. It was pretty good. The people were friendly. We had a good laugh. I did ring the restaurant and tell them we might need to reschedule.
