Sunset over the fire grounds tonight. The wind has been hectic and the country is dry as a chip. Dare I say it! Might be time for some rain. Thanks to all the fire fighters. Stay safe

This chook and dog seriously! Eadie has been charged with looking after tweetie and she has not let go of her responsibility. So fun to watch! Tweety thinks she’s human and Eadie wondering why she doesn’t get the same level of attention but has shown she’s very good at regulating her emotions 😂

Dad’s Tomato Sauce 🍅

This one’s for you, Katherine.

My dad wheeled out this tomato yumminess for pretty much every Sunday cook-up I can remember. It didn’t matter what else was happening on the BBQ, this pan of tomatoes was always there.

He grew the tomatoes himself and would proudly declare their provenance as he put them on the table.

Big, juicy tomatoes, onion, garlic, a splash of balsamic, a little sugar and whatever cupboard or garden herbs he could lay his hands on. Cooked down until everything was soft, sweet, saucy and ridiculously good.

I miss him every day, and I’d give anything to sit down and share another Sunday brekkie with him.

So this Father’s Day, we’re bringing a little bit of my Dad to Pop Rocket. ❤️

We’ve made a big batch of Dad’s tomato sauce for THE BIG DADDY WRAP, and whatever’s left, we’ll happily whack a complimentary serve alongside your brekkie. Just ask.

THE BIG DADDY WRAP, Father’s Day Special

Eggy goodness, chorizo, bacon, chipotle mayo and Dad’s tomato sauce.

Bloody delicious.

Here’s to all the dads, and to the recipes, stories and little Sunday rituals they leave with us.
