crazy thoughts...

I wonder what a crumpet would taste like if you toasted it under th grill n put a few caramello rounds on top at th last minute n let them melt into th holes on top of th crumpet.
Interesting.
I wasnt quite game enough before so i had strawberry jam.
I did think about it fucken hard though.

from roast pork to thai chicken

quote of th day:
hayley turns to mick and asks "do you like al freddo"

to which he replies "no."

it happened again this morning. but then i guess its not th first time and it definately wont be th last time i wake up and realise

'crap i hate mondays..'

after getting over that fact, i looked at my phone and saw it was 8:30 already OMG so i woke up mikael and got him organised, got th car out and finally got th boy to school - 15 minutes late of course.

our weekend was cool, literally. zues didnt let up with th cold and th rain all freaking weekend. we had a bit of sun sunday arvo and of course today is nice and sunny (as always) but it has just been so goddamn cold! i cant wait for summer (and then ill be complaining 'fuck its hot, hurry up winter, i miss the rain' lmao)
Friday night we had corey and mikhail over for roast pork. turned out wicked, although personally i think it needed a little longer but by the time i realised that everyone was starving so.. it didnt matter, it wasnt bleeding on th plate or anything lol
put on a movie afterwards but scott n corey fell asleep not even halfway thru so i ended up turning th movie off as id already seen it and putting family guy on instead.
Saturday was pretty uneventful, didnt do much at all. mikael lounged around in his jammies til about 3 in th afternoon before finally deciding to get dressed, then him and scott went outside in their coats and th rain and cleaned up all th crap behind the shed, putting it into bags to be gotten rid of and getting it ready to mow for th next available sunny day, then we got KFC for dinner and all stayed up ridiculously late listening to th radio before making up a big bed on th loungeroom floor with a double mattress and pillows galore and bunking in together. kael thought it was christmas being allowed to sleep with us for once and he must have slept well because we all slept in until nearly 11am! which just never happens where th kids concerned lol
mick n hayley came down in th afternoon which was nice and scotti tried fixing th telstar again. we thought we had th bitch sorted grrrr
by th time mick n hayley headed home for dinner it was a bit late to organise anything so we had leftovers and ordered a special fried rice from our chinese takeaway to go with it. yummo. good and easy.
now it is 2pm and i have nearly an hour to kill before picking mikael up from school. thai chicken stirfry tonight, i have a wicked soy sauce in th cupboard im planning on using and i bought some real nice chicken strips today to chuck in with th mcCain frozen thai stir fry veg. yes im cheating a little.. $3 for ready prepared frozen veg of reasonable quality, variety and quantity for a meal for 3. or buy th ingredients seperate, hmm about $11, then chop them up, which requires effort. lmao i sound so lazy i told you i hate mondays!
oh. and theres another addition to th family. at this point its still nameless.
anyway i will try to remember to take a picture of my lazy thai fry lol to add to your cooking blog k8 (if that counts as cooking lmao) ciao!

i am quite confident in my cooking skills and i like to think i do a good job, but every now n then i do stoop to ready made frozen stuff or shortcuts like canned vegetables, (i wont go as far as pre packaged pasta sauce, i much prefer to get a cheap paste and a nice can of tomatoes and then add my own flavours with herbs n spices in my cupboard and an onion n a capsicum even sometimes) but when i find something i like, i do tend to stick to it, same brand or whatever. i think its because im so fussy.
but here is one i definately definately recommend...sara lee rocks! fruit sweetness not sugar sweetness if you get my drift..
and also the apricot/apple one is good drool drool

it was like an explosion!

scotti got a flat in the telstar..its a bit more than flat.
id say it is completely annihalated lol

my new thing.
8 for $3

better than a king size, more variety and it lasts much, much longer. woo hoo!

cookies and miracle grow

This morning when we got up to get ready for school, i opened the front door to see that it was a beautiful sunny morning! I instantly regretted not setting the alarm for an earlier time so that we could have walked to school, because by the time we got ready we would have been late had we have walked so we took the car instead.On my way back from the school i decided that i would take athena for a walk when i got home, so when i got home i 'miracle growed' the pot plants out the front (its been a while) then gave kimba some dog biscuits out the back to distract her while i brought thena inside to put her lead on so kimba wouldnt see (i felt mean but apart from struggling with two excited puppy dogs trying to invent new knots with their two leads, there really was no other option)
When we got back home i was surprised to see that we had been gone nearly two hours. it was a really nice walk.
I cleaned the kitchen from the mornings tornado (me n kael getting ready for school) and then decided to make some chocolate biscuits, which by the way were awesome! me and kael had a couple each when he got home from school, he thought they were great and that we should have them for dinner. "that would be a good idea mum" hmm.. he wishes :)now im having a break before making dinner, scotti should be home from work real soon, yay!

***out***

i feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!

we had fish and chips for dinner tonight.
I really could not be fluffed preparing / cooking / baking / roasting / frying / steaming / farming anything tonight lol so fish and chips it was. some other lady can cook dinner!
sitting down now having a bundy (praise the lord lol) and relaxing for a while before i get up to do the washing up. mikaels in the bath and scotts watching ramsays nightmares on t.v. pretty quiet here atm. although quiet it definately was not half an hour ago, when mikael had triple m absolutely blaring from his little stereo, which was ok until the predictable nickleback came on, thats when i went in and turned it down lmao

hey guys... nothing.

wellllll..
I sit here trying to think of something to write and my mind is blank. (like thats not common lmao) i promised myself when i started this blog, i would do it at least semi religiously, i enjoy writing, have for years, but have had no reason to write for a long time and have gotten lazy. so this is my task to myself. i think me and my boyfriend are the only people reading it, but thats ok. hes my spell check and its all good! he picks me up constantly on my grammar but i have a rebellious streak so i ignore that criticism lmaoWe went out to dinner thursday night, regrettably i didnt get a photo of the meal as i was intending to do (but heres a 'paint drawing' instead lmao and er.. it didnt quite look like ^that) we were all too busy digging straight in to remember as the food looked amazing (as always) although i wish i had stuck with my favourite and what i like to think of the 'sports bar classic meal' the steak and chips. every single time i get steak at the waterloo, it is awesome.
Easter here was hectic as usual. the day started way too early, the boy consumed way too much chocolate and the rest of the day was spent keeping up with and constantly supervising a hyperactive 5 year old whose system was trying to deal with way too much sugar. i was so glad when he (eventually) went to sleep sunday night.
Also on sunday, scott had a mega clean up of the carport, shed and back lawn and pulled the panelvan out of the shed to suss out what we need, what we've got, and what we could do straight away. more to come on the panelvan, maybe even tomorrow. i'll go out and take a photo and 'document' what (little things) we've done already.
but for this moment in time that exists for me right now, im going to have a cup of tea before stumbling up to bed. *out*

Mmmm Chicken

I was just looking through photos from the last few months, and i found this photo of a roast chicken i made recently. (the red stuffs capsicum and the green stuffs basil leaves)
I wish it was tonights dinner, i must say it was a pretty awesome roast chicken. The photo is before it went into the oven, we were too focused on tearing it apart to serve that we forgot to take an 'after' shot lol
At least this heat wave seems to have finally broken, it might be possible to use the oven this week. After seeing this, I'm really inspired to do a roast, maybe even lamb? (But im pretty sure its going to be chicken, i can almost taste that capsicum)
Tonight its fish and chips i think. easy. bit of a letdown after writing about roasts lmao

Ultimate Escape Artist

my sister is having a dinner at cafe primos tonight for her birthday, i have chickened out and decided not to go as there are going to be ten of her friends that i dont really know there, which i know i should go anyway, its her birthday, who cares about being stuck at a table with people you hardly know right?
BUT that is the catch in my opinion, its not her birthday, her birthday is thursday, so instead i told her we'd rather do something nice with her and her boyfriend instead and organised to shout them a counter meal at the local thursday night and maybe we could even have some games of 8 ball afterwards. She liked that idea so hurray! i dont have to sit at a table with ten people i hardly know! (selfish? maybe) but after all this talk of steak and chips, its all i can think about now!i cant wait for thursday evening

wow men CAN cook

omg i cant believe it! my boyfriend is cooking dinner!

my two boys...
