New additions

Over the christmas break we got some plants for inside...I think they look great! We also now have a giant blackboard in the kitchen...



Our auidence

The two LOUD little girls that live behind us were lucky enough to score a new cubby house for christmas. Aren't they cute wearing their matching pink t-shirts and sunglasses blowing bubbles over the fence? Pity they know how to throw stones to!

Flood Damage

Along with boggy grass this is the damage:

Breakwater

On Saturday we went for a walk out onto the breakwater wall to look at the view towards the Strand and Castle Hill. This is where the boats to Magnetic Island leave from. Then back for a coffee....

Spetta Pie

MC requested my spinach and fetta pie recipe and given the fact that I haven't posted food photos for a while ...here we are. Oh and this was stolen from my sister. I have adapted it to suit the lazy cook.

I use:
8 eggs
300g reduced fat fetta
2 sheets puff pasty
finely chopped spinach (too lazy to use fresh)

Thaw out the spinach and remove excess water
Finely chop the fetta
Whisk the eggs

Combine whisked eggs, fetta and spinach.

When I first started making this I would roll out the pastry...that became way too messy and the flour was a bugger to clean up. So I now hold up the pastry in one hand and sort of 'stretch ' it out so that it covers the dish.

Once this is done pour in the combined ingredients.

Cook.

I usually put it in the over for around 40 minutes on 180-200 or until I think it looks good.

And dont forget to put my initials in pastry on top if you make this...and they are KM :)

Saunders Beach

Saunders Beach is about 10 minutes north of us by car. A very small beach shack suburb.









I'm a little more sun smart these days. The sun stings and I tend to burn so quickly!

Just your typical Sunday afternoon watering the lawn and boozing.
