Corner View - Staple Foods

staple foods in my corner of the world is tricky. i am always torn between showing you australia ... where i live ... or me ... which is not australian.

maybe i should give you the quick version of my life story. ready ? here goes. my dad was in the us navy. i was born in spain, moved to italy when i was 4 years old, moved to maryland, usa in grade 1, moved back to spain in grade 4 , moved to canada in grade 7, moved BACK TO SPAIN AGAIN !! in grade 9, moved to japan half way through grade 12, moved to colorado when i was 21 years old, moved to australia at 24 years old. i'm 36 now and still here. my parents are american. my husband is australian. my children are half and half. most people think my accent is canadian when they guess but they always know that is not quite right. i use american and australian words and can't really remember which is which anymore. i just talk and if people don't know what I'm saying, they (usually) ask ! i have some words that I use only in spanish, japanese and even hindi that are from my childhood. (my grandparents grew up in india but that is a different story !)

so ... back to food. staple food for me is broad. growing up all over the world, i have a love affair with so many types of food ! if i cooked every recipe i want to try from now until i die, i'd live to be over a million years old ! ha ha. want proof ? go to my cooking blog ...

i'm off track !

i decided to go australian this week ... here are three foods i didn't eat until i moved to australia ... and links to the recipes !!

scones

the aussie meat pie ... in this case beef and guinness

roast veggies

i'm excited to come round and visit everyone this week ! although, i think i need to make sure not to do it on an empty stomach. my keyboard doesn't like it when i drool on it !!
