A few weeks ago my parents and I drove to my brother's place in the country to spend the afternoon and have dinner. It was so nice to get out into the country air and greenery. We were greeted by these two beautiful natured horses and...
my nephew helping to mow the lawn with the ride on mower...
and country life going on as usual...
My brother took me to some beautiful spots to capture the Australian countryside to show you..it was so peaceful.
A sheep shearing shed in the middle of nowhere.
and an old historic bridge that's a well known landmark in the area..not used anymore of course.
We had Chicken Parmigiana for dinner with a salad and bread..followed by a cheesecake I'd made that morning. Parmigiana is a Southern Italian dish made with a shallow fried sliced filling (in this case chicken), layered with cheese and tomato sauce, then baked. I think of it as being Australian though as it's so common here, you find it on every pub menu, in cafes and people cook it at home. It's real comfort food.

Oh, great photos of the Australian countryside. I'm not familiar with it at all so thank you for that.
Bit jealous of that blue sky right now, as it's getting colder here;)
I spent quite a bit of my childhood in italy so remember Parmigiana well. it's delicious when done well and I like the recipe you shared here with us.
I hope you had a nice time with your family xx
Nothing better than the country side and the Australian is truly distinctive. It looks lovely where your brother lives as does the feast! M x
Oh, that sheep sheering shed and the bridge! Just stunning! And the parmigiana looks so yummy! I love the background you gave us on it...It's so nice to read the cultural influences of your food. Deep background that ultimately brings us closer, yes?
It looks soo beautiful and peaceful. I won't lie - I think about having my own farm in the country one day and getting away from the city! That parmigiana looks great .. I'm a big fan of Huey's :)
Hey Catherine, my family loves a chicken parma, and my husband does a good job making it. But I think I will pass on your recipe to him to try next time! Thank you x
we eat a lot of Chicken Parmigiana in the states. the photos are just beautiful!
It looks so lovely - lucky you to have someone to visit in the country! I can smell the fresh air! I too love parmigiana, I make mine with eggplants, italian passata and lots of cheese!! yum!
Hi Catherine, just stopping by from the 'old' BYW class to say hello and see how things are doing. Glad to see your blog is thriving. It looks great! Australia is on my bucket list. Love the sweet little horses too. :)
Beautiful shots!! Such lush greens and blues, and divine food xx
