I am like you Betty pounds and onces is what I work with. They make a potted meat here, but it is nothing like the type we got a home. If there are any type of meals or recipes that anyone may like, we will try to get it for you, just let us know.

Hi Betty this is for you and me and anyone else on a diet, or trying to be healthy in their eating.

This looks good enough to eat.

Here is a nice lunch time snack, can be cooked on the barbecue or in a fry pan, this is up market egg bread. Use 2 slices bread per person, you can vary what you put on the sandwich I like to put nice crispy bacon instead of salami.


8 slices thick bread
4 slices mozzarella cheese
8 slices salami, or crispy bacon
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
2 eggs beaten with a little milk
sliced black olives

Dip the bread into the egg, then place in pan, lightly brown and then turn over to other side, now place cheese, tomatoes, salami,olives on one slice then top with the other slice, uncooked side up. When brown turn over and cook other side. It makes quite a filling snack.
