Corrie's back! We left Corrie three weeks ago early on her trip on a hot Calabrian night. Now she has returned from her European Indian Summer sojourn. She will report on her month of travels...Southern Italy with her history club and her Grecian Odyssey which included the islands of Corfu, Kefalonia and Lefkada and a one-week sailing trip around the Ionian.



Caro and Corrie unpack the devastation of Alastair Clarkson who was sacked last week as North Melbourne coach. The sacking was followed by an unusually honest/brutal press conference held by club president Sonja Hood and Clarkson's long-time ally Todd Viney. A shattered Clarkson spoke exclusively to Caro late on Friday

Food: Brendan's Irish Potatoes

Cut up about, I say, eight potatoes. This is for about four to six people, depending on their size.

So cut them into eight pieces each. Parboil them for about 15 minutes until they're soft.

Just use a knife to give them a bit of a poke, so that knife goes through cleanly. Cut up six pieces of garlic into little slithers.

Wow. And then cut them into little slithers, and then cut them into tiny little pieces. And then zest a lemon, one whole lemon.

So you have a lot of lemon zest. Combine the garlic and lemon to make a sort of bit of a paste. Put oil into an oven pan.

Put the potatoes in. Shmear them all around. Some salt on the top.

Make sure they're all coated so that the lemon and the garlic confuses. So 180 in a good oven for about 40, 45.

Toss and turn and mix around once or twice in that 40-minute period. So maybe put on your alarm clock after 20 minutes to give them a bit of a toss and a turn around, and then take them out after 40 minutes or till golden.
