Pie on a plate

Yep that's me lunch, no garnish. Just pie and mash

Hmm cider

From England

Lump o cake

As I was pouring the cake mix I had just made into the cake pan, I realised that the pan was really too big. 'Oh Well' I thought, 'the cake will just spread out and be a bit thin'
Little did I realise this would not happen. Hence: was born.
Oh Well, I'll put some icing on it, it'll be fine.....

hmmmm

Last night, Neil made 3 cheese soufflé for dinner. Not sure where the urge came from, but they turned out yum.

just like a bought one!

Look what we made!Don't they look just like bought ones??!?!?!? :)

Holly Lamington Cake Batman!

I know it's hard to see in this picture, but for some reason my cake cooked with two large holes in the bottom! Also, please note the "ears" in the back ground.

nearly forgot

In the excitement of the tram, I nearly forgot to show you my mornings creativity. They are all eaten now, but they were quite yummy strawberry meringues tarts!

Dinner

We had some lovely guests last night for dinner, thanks guys for coming. We had Mexican, beer and chatting for tea. It was great!

And here is the dinner, which despite what it may or may not look like, was delicious!

Back in the saddle again

So, ages ago, I was eating Lite n Easy, partly cos it lite, partly cos it's easy. That all went to the dogs when Neil moved in, cos why would you eat boring food from the microwave when Neil cooks yummy real food? Well, it turns out that you eat it, cos if you don't you end up weighting something like 20 or 30 kg more than you should (according to the oh so wise weight chart.)
So, I'm back onto it again. It's nearly the end of...... the first day, and I'm holding up ok. A bit hungry. I'm currently waiting for neil to come home from the brewery, with pizza (didn't know they had a website til just now!), which I won't be having any of. If I can do 6 weeks, I'll be happy, 12-20 would be better. Wish me luck!

Gardening

I don't think I am a natural gardener, but the herbs at the fruit shop are expensive an seem so wasteful that I just have to try, and also, it was on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. That task pretty much completed, I have decided at I should post any other garden stuff on here instead. Here are the results of today's gardening effort:

At the back we have the re-potted mint, still not looking great, but that is a way bigger pot now, so I'm thinking positive. Next is the Italian Parsley, which looks great and is really tasty. It's doing really well when you think how small it started out! Then comes the two new Thyme plants, one lemon, one plain. Finally there is the new coriander plant. Buying coriander from the fruit shop is one of the banes of my existence (no I am not being overly dramatic) asit NEVER lsts more than a day, you only ever need a tiny amount and the rest ends up going mouldy! Grrr. Any way, as the parsley went sooooo well and coriander looks similar, I though I'd risk it. So we'll see how it goes ;)

Dinner

Yummy!

last nights dinner

It took ages, was a bit plain, but we ate the whole lot (please note there were 3 of us, not two, so that means we are not complete pigs, only nearly)

oops

I have just eaten a whole packet of yummy waterthins, classic cheddar evil bickie snack thingies. The are better for you than BBQ shapes, but not a lot.

yummy, look what I made

I mean, Neil might have cooked the meat balls, but I made them and got everything ready :)

They were Yum too!

Is there any thing better?

sprinkles on toast, it's so evil..... and so yummy

Potato

Dinner, yum!

Mexico

We decided to go to Mexico last night for tea, with out leaving home! Yay us!

And you can tell it was real Mexican, as it sat like a brick hour hours after you ate it, and meant we had to go for a walk. Delicious!

Own dinner

Neil has ran away to fires and left me all by myself, so I had to make my own dinner :(

But anyway, I think I have done rather well

It's my birthday (nearly)

Yay, finally, I get to make my Dalek Birthday cake. So I have wagged work today to get it all ready. I cooked the cakes last night and put it all together this morning. It's a bit wonkie here and there and if you look at it in the wrong way, it looks more like a man than a Dalek, but I'm fairly happy with the overall result.

The finished product!

Triumphant, at the pub

10 minutes later :)

Dinner

Look familiar?

Well is should!! Neil has again pulled off a most successful vegetarian pie. Delicious!!

And here is the desert, he's really pulling out all the stops!!
