#scrappie

a recent commission for a friend from a roleplay server I'm in! I loved drawing their character. This is Scrappie (they/zey)

3. Rocket and feta salad with Vegemite naan

Ingredients:

I really wish I had taken a photo of these ingredients in their raw states to illustrate how scrappy they were but because it’s too late, I simply can’t.

Rocket

Cherry tomatoes (do not use the ones that are wet on the outside)

Half an avocado (cut off the brown outer ring where the avocado has been cut already until it becomes the familiar nutty green colour)

Feta

Naan (frozen again)

Butter

Vegemite

Left over shell pasta in tomato sauce (heat up in microwave oven if you have one)

Imagination

For me, each day is a day where I can be grateful for the beautiful country where I live and eat my scrappie tucker. I’m not sure how I feel about Australia day because it means so many things to so many people, and I just hope that one day we will all be able to share a loving scrap with one another.

I share with you my Aussie scrappie exclusive. What makes it especially Australian is so many things, which I summarise below:

It has Vegemite in it which puts a rose in every cheek and helps us all to be happy little Vegemites.

It is beautiful and diverse. Maybe even a little bit enticingly dangerous, just like our local flora, fauna, and the scapes of our great southern land.

It is nourishing for my soul and I feel proud to share it with others.

What I did to make this high koala-ty two courses was put the pasta in a shallow bowl and then put all of the ingredients on top of it, doing the feta bit last for a cheesy, salty kick, and decoration. I then combined the naan, butter and Vegemite in a welcoming, multicultural way because it works well.

I rate this meal 10 crumbs. I feel like this meal is very special because I can just hear each ingredient saying to the other, We are one. But we are many. And from all the lands on earth we come. We’ll share a dream. And sing with one voice. I am, you are, we are Australian.

See you round like a rissole XO

Scraps are good, too.

Why, hello there. And welcome to the first entry of my even firster blog.

As my attention continues to be directed (voluntarily or otherwise) at images of lovely plates with fancy victuals atop throughout the feeds of social media, I made the decision to create a blog dedicated to my meals, most of which are:

scraps.

Deliciously scrappie, if I may.

#Foodporn? 

F.O.

While I admire those who are gifted with the virtues of patience, creativity and the ability to handle the heat in the kitchen, my personal experiences in the kitch have forced me to confront the inadequacies of my culinary skills, in gastronomic proportions, and accept that any meal I prepare will be considered by most to be ugly. Not right to serve on a plate, and in some occasions, unfit for human consumption.

Recent blood tests confirm my status of good health across all dimensions of blood count, sugar levels, iron levels, protein and cholesterol. These test results suggest that my scrappie diet adequately nourishes my adult body, and for those who are familiar with my active lifestyle, I receive your gasps with eager anticipation as you begin to wonder how a scrappie diet such as mine can enable and sustain a lifestyle as demanding as any Grandmother Bucket.

For my audience, I hope that my blog is met with your flavour, I mean favour, and I hope that I can in some small way inspire you all to pick up a scrap and enjoy it for what it isn’t.

But what is a scrap?, you may ask. They are simply a few things:

1. A result of my grocery no buy 2. A result of my lack of cook good 3. Good enough

Get your napkins on

Let us now embark on a journey together, and enjoy the humble scrap which like most things in life, could be better, could be worse, but it will do.

Namaste.

It is now 7 January 2015, approximately fourteen months since the inception of this blog. During these months fourteen, I have discovered that I do not confine my scrappie approach to just cooking. It is in fact a methodology, a wider framework for my everyday lifestyle.

In the fourteen months past, I have posted a total of zero blog entries so I attempt for a second time, the launch of my blog Scrappies.

Understand that due to the lapse in time, many entries will be written retrospectively as I recollect memos, photos and memories of my scrappie meals. And for this I beg your pardon, dear reader, for inconsistencies and misalignment betwixt my meals with euclidean space and time. But who believes in that stuff anyway? Once again, welcome and bon appetit X
