ARRGHHH there's nothing in the fridge!!!!! ............... DON TO THE RESCUE!!

One of the best things about my parents running off to Taipei and Hong Kong for about one month was the fact that I can explore my culinary expertise - which consisted of making udon noodles with stir-fry chicken and vegetables, thai red curry with bread, because cooking rice took too long (and because I forgot to make the rice) and pasta.

But sometimes, you find that you have way too much left overs - which may last for at least 2 days and after having it for lunch the next day you don't want it for dinner the next night. To make it worse, you forget that you don't have much left in the fridge! In fact, you don't have anything left in the fridge.

 But what's worse is that.. you come home from work after a hard's day off work and you are exhausted and the last thing you want to do is cook or even think about cooking, so that is why, having DON foods in the fridge is great.

Seriously that comic above is what I do! OR would do if I didn't have to cook and then eat!

DON^® Smallgoods was born in Victoria back in 1947, by their local butcher, so it was orginally founded in Australia, and still today, it's Australian -- which is a rarity.

One of their products I would get is their ham - it isn't too salty and it comes in a re-sealable container - so that it stays fresh. And they have ALL sorts of flavours of ham - honey roasted leg ham is my favourite. But there is also double smoked leg ham, and english leg ham. To top it off, DON's hams are already cut into slices OR shaved, so you can control how many slices/shaved pieces you put into your sandwiches - so in a way controlling your calorie intake too! It's also the perfect cold meat to take to work and place in their fridge and make fresh lunch each day.  OR you can even use their shaved ham pieces in your fried rice as the protein part and it isn't half bad - it ends up tasting a bit like bacon, but less fatty. OR even better, just go to coles for the pizza base and the pre-made pizza tomato sauce or whichever sauce you prefer and then place pieces of ham on top (shaved ham would be the best choice for this because it's all cut up for you!) and then place in oven - go take a shower, and your dinner should be ready!!

What more do you want? - - well, you would also want their bacon - who doesn't like a bacon fry up? or chop it into little pieces and then fry it in your day-old rice and make it one of the ingredients to your fried rice - look anything can be put in fried rice ok! And it's easy!!! But I'm sure there are other uses to your bacon such as in your breakfast!

And then there's their frankfurts - ah the perfect finger food, and so nice.

They also have other selection of cold meats and great recipes on their site -- all you have to do is clicky on the link that's on my sidebar - the one that's in a shape of a pizza and then changes to was DON was good and you get all their uber cool QUICK recipe ideas using all their locally sort after produce.

You discover their easy meats for those days when you don't want to wait too long to cook anything or as part ingredients to your cusines.

After all

IS DON. Is GOOD!
