Dinner's last week included rolled roast pork with roast vegetables - I tossed the veggies in a bag with 1 tablespoon of olive oil then roasted them on baking paper in the oven... Can you tell Gus likes cracked pepper?~
Tuesday it was chicken Rippa Rissoles and veggies...~
Thursday I made chicken enchiladas...~
I tried an Annette Sym recipe for Apricot Rice Baked Custard. I thought the recipe must be wrong because is said to use 1/4 cup Basmati rice - it didn't sound like enough but it was amazing how it fluffed up when baked.~
It was quite yummy.~
Monday this week I bought beef and lamb marinated skewers - easy dinner!~
These are the Oaty Cookies I made for Kirby...~
Tuesday morning, it got the better of me! My walk-in-robe was a total mess with summer clothes still spilling out everywhere and all mixed up with winter clothes that I have been wearing. Time for a de-clutter! Honestly, it took me probably less than one hour and...~
Tah dah! A much tidier space and a lot less clothes to have to rifle through. Most of my clothes are black and finding the right top can be tricky when they all look the same! St. Vinnies did well and scored about 12 pairs of summer shoes too!~
Tuesday night I tried one of Marion's boxed curries. It was really good. I left out the dried red chillies as they would have blown our heads off and I did add a little palm sugar and squeeze of lime juice. Perfectly delicious and as easy as 1 - 2 - 3 - 4!~
Wednesday morning... foggy and cold. We are 2 weeks away from the start of winter and still need some good rains...~
I've been plodding away at a few dishcloths - this is a basket weave one and I have finished 2 waffle patterned ones... It is nice to sit and knit.~
Ooh, here is my latest acquisition - my Elna 1000 - Spotlight had them out for $99.00 so I just couldn't resist. I can't sew to save myself so this will be perfect to learn on. Brianna took the Janome to Adelaide with her and I needed to mend Gus's trousers the minute she left so I have been on the lookout for a replacement. Problem solved - stay tuned for some sewing adventures... when I find time!~
Finally, according to my home scales, I have cracked 70.0 kgs (in bras and knickers before breakfast) - last October I weighed about 77.0 kgs so I am very pleased. I have been yo-yoing the last couple of weeks but Tuesday morning the scales said 70.0 kgs. I weighed in at Weight Watchers and they said 71.2 (that's clothed and at 5.30pm) so between the two the scales can't be lying! Yay!~
Enjoy your day - the sun is out and I am off to work....
Cheers - Joolz
