Not a recipe as such (although one does feature).
I get Nga Taonga's newsletter. In the run up to ANZAC Day they have a feature on the origin of the famous biscuit but more specifically this amazing woman who baked over 4 1/2 tonnes of gingernuts for the troops

*The spelling right. The.

My spelling is fine, my typing, not so umch. I'm super relaxed about typing teh or umch, but spelling bourguignon wrong would annoy me

The Kamado has been getting plenty of use. About 4 times a week since getting it
I'd recommend getting a charcoal basket if you have the Classic I. You don't need to use the grate at the bottom after that and the airflow improves
A dutch oven has been worth it just for the 'over the top' chili.

Righto, mothers day you ungrateful swine.
Smoked up a couple of lamb forequarters, marinated for 3 days. Bloody magic, never done lamb like that before -usually a leg - so it was a differnet cut. Sweated bullets that I'd dry it out, but it came out tender as anything, with a great smoke ring and a really tasty lemony charcoaly flavour. Win.
Finished with a couple of pies; lemon meringue and chocolate peanut better. FML, I'm dying fat and happy. Pics to follow.

Favourite mid winter cooks?
Over the top chili on the Kamado is my current favourite
1.5-2 kg gammon Into the slow cooker on a bed of thyme and sliced red onions, pour over half a litre of chicken stock, half a litre of water, cook for 6-7 hours on low. Throw in some peeled carrots sliced into sticks with a couple of hours to go. Serve with some mash, the carrots, the liquid and onions as a sauce (or make it into a gravy). Supposed to glaze with sugar and wholegrain mustard but I don't bother anymore. Leftovers make great sandwiches.
Or this with some homemade bread:

I am commuting daily to hamilton to work hands on (physical) in Ops as we are getting hammered around the country with absenteeism. Then when I get back to Akl I do my own job. This has been going on for three weeks. First day off the treadmill today.
So why I volunteered to cook the cake for a four year old's birthday .... i don't do deseerts Never baked a cake I must've been mad
Most stressful thing I have done in years. Took two attempts and 7 of Bach Brewings Supa Juice
The only instruction was he wanted a blue cake
(this is the recipe photo but it came out pretty close - bit greener than that rich blue but kid was happy and adults impressed. I didn't eat any but apparently mosit, airy and not over sweet)
Two take outs - cakes are really unhealthy. The frosting alone was 400gms of icing sugar 1/2 cup of butter and 200 gms cream cheese!!!!
I'm told blue cake makes your shit turn blue

Recipe please 🙏
I did a variation on this recipe. The main difference is I added an Americano coffee just after the tomatoes
Recipe is in the video description
