Market Goodies and healthy Chow Mein...

I had to zip into town early this morning (showered, makeup & hair done) and our local monthly Farmer's Market was happening. I picked up some Bread & Butter Cucumbers, Tomato Relish, Tomato Sauce, a sweet little ginger bread guy and a cake of soap. I usually miss this market because Saturday mornings I usually schlepp around and don't leave the house.

I made Annette Sym's ChowSym for dinner last night. The recipe for it is here (download and print).
Fry off the mince, onions, garlic & ginger...

Add in beans, carrot, peas and celery...

Wow, that is a whole lot of cabbage - 6 cups!
~

Add in the cabbage, curry powder, water and sauces and stock powder. Cover and let is simmer away for 30-40 minutes until the cabbage is cooked, stirring it over occasionally. I halved the amount of Singapore Noodles when I added them.

A delicious, low fat, one-pot meal - packed with vegetables.

I made a batch of Anzac Biscuits on Thursday and thankfully gave most of them away!
~

They can be a little hard to resist!

This weekend I intend to get some more walking in - I am feeling very sore after just that small workout on Thursday so I need to keep limber. We have an exercise ball so I may even try the wall squat again to see if I can at least go a bit longer. That is our aim - to improve all times and to lose some centimeters from our bodies.

I have some seedlings that need planting out and a bit of tidying up outdoors as I am hosting my sister's 60th Birthday lunch on Wednesday.
~
My car needs cleaning and those weeds in the garden are, funnily enough, still there! so they need to come out.

What are you getting up to on this weekend?
