Family and friends dinner last night to celebrate my Birthday was great. I’ve given many Birthday parties but never had one myself. I’ve had Birthday Seasons, with going out and shopping but never a full blown party. It was fun.

I bought 2 sets of glass containers with colour matched lids from Aldi. Very easy to clip lock.

Real Autumn now. I love this season. Judy, always a challenge to fit that bit extra in the freezer.
Taught a friend to make HotX Buns. Also the makings of Portuguese Custard Tarts for tomorrow.

Visitors for lunch. I’ve precooked most of lunch, eggplant dip, garlic bread, duck, mashed potatoes, gravy. Prepared veggies for last minute cooking. Made custard and pastry shells for Portuguese tarts will bake at last minute.
Yesterday I made Hot X Buns. I did mixing and first rise in bread machine. Pretty good. I think they didn’t rise quite as much as traditional method. I therefore gave them more time on second rise. This worked very well. With sweet buns , in Winter in our cold climate, I think this method will be very handy.

My first car required double de clutching. Great fun when you are young. Wouldn’t want to do it now.

I’m getting rid of all my plastic containers and switching to glass. I have 2 vacuum sealers but haven’t used either since shifting.

Last night I cooked KFC for GS and his friend. Waffles to follow. I cook double so they can have some the next day. I still make my own spices.
Visitors for lunch tomorrow. RTE says I can cook a duck today and reheat it tomorrow. Hope it works. Mashed potatoes and beans and zucchini from garden. Portuguese Custard Tarts to follow.

Marina, so glad that you are both now getting a good nights sleep. DD has been involved with sleep Apnea. From what she has told me, it is not a simple issue to deal with.
