For dessert we served the chewy chocolate brownies with a dollop of double cream, a scoop of So Good vanilla soy ice cream and a sprinkling of chopped peanuts. Mmmmmmm, double cream. The recipe for the brownies came from Jac’s Good Housekeeping All Colour Cook Book. It’s so easy. Gather ingredients, mix thoroughly in bowl, […]
Since last night, the house has smelled reeeeally delicious – we were both busy cooking for today’s Mothers Day lunch. After eating leftover chinese for dinner last night, Jac cooked up a pot of soup while I baked chewy chocolate brownies (details coming up). And as soon as we woke up this morning, we were […]
It’s been yet another hectic week. I’m pleased to report I have not scratched since Tuesday when I saw the doctor, and my hands are looking much better. My thumbs were especially bad (a cross between scabby and reptilian), but they have definitely improved. There is still a great deal of healing required though, before […]
I had lunch with Jac today at Hungry Jack’s in Mount Lawley. We were in Mt Lawley because I had to go to the doctor (more on that later). We’ve both been absolutely dying to try the new Bacon Double Cheeseburger with Mushrooms, and so that’s exactly what we each had. The first thing I […]
This is a belated post about Sunday just gone. On Sunday morning we went to the Canning Vale Markets. We used to go to CVM (I’ve just created this acronym, which I think makes it sound a lot cooler than it really is… sounds like FHM or STM) all the time, but somehow, with everything […]
Fairly recently, CherryRipe posted her “100 mostly trivial things”. #18 was: “I have a fear of running out of bog roll: i need to have at least ten rolls in the house to feel secure.” Heheheh, well, I share the same fear! Here is the proof. This photo was taken in our loo as I […]
Pheeee-eeewwwwwwww. I’m so tired! I spent all of yesterday reading and marking assignments, and all of today reviewing the assignments, typing up my comments (writing detailed comments for 30+ assignments is just too much for my weak accustomed-to-typing hands) and finalising grades. There are still a few late assignments to come (which will …
[A wee break from marking] I’m so obsessed with this I love egg song! I’ve played it four times today, in between marking assignments! It requires flash and sound. [Going back to marking]
Lamb sausages (drizzled with smokey barbeque sauce), mashed potato (with mushroom gravy on half of it), carrots and peas. I’m sooooooo tired. I’m really regretting taking on the tutoring this semester. It seemed so much easier juggling thesis and teaching last year. My current chapter won’t be finished by Thursday, which is when I…
Billy Lee’s current favourite napping spot is on the window sill in between the bookshelf and the curtain in my study. She seems to like posing for the camera. Pixel’s current favourite spot is on the pink cat mat that came free with their Eukanuba cat biccies, in the spa room, in her own little […]
