Unbelievable! I’m actually posting on the day I took this photo! That hasn’t happened in a while, eh? I don’t know if I will have the time or energy tomorrow. Today, my favourite workmate to have lunch with said she felt like having a sandwich, which was soooo not what I felt like! We walked […]

She served it with fluffy mashed potato, peas and corn kernels and baked polenta topped with smokey BBQ sauce. The polenta looked good but we both agreed it […]
