Good to hear DD's wedding went off well Den.  One down, one to go?

Not so sure about the second one Judy. She was engage but broke it off and there hasn't been anyone one on the scene since then, that was 18 months ago.

As long as she is happy that is all that matters.

Denise I have seen those in use in some schools instead of them having an urn. They work really well.

Got back from Perth today after a week of madness running around for DD's wedding. The day went wonderfully but I am glad that it is finally finished. Just some unpacking and figuring out what to do with all of the furniture and other accoutrements we acquired for the ceremony and reception.

 I had to replace the kitchen tap when I got home it blew a gasket while we were away, luckily our neighbor was here feeding animals at the time so there was no damage.

Bread / Re: 100% rye bread! is it possible?
« on: November 02, 2015, 02:03:40 pm »
A 100% rye is possible but as Chookie said it will be very dense and take a long time to rise. Making it from grain by milling the grain in the TM will make it very dense and course. Grain milled in the TM is never as fine as flour.

Wonder, the Girl in the Spider web stays very true to the original stories so far. I am only half way through it so far. I have found it very easy to read.

I enjoyed the Usain Bolt book. His writing style was interesting. His personality really comes through in his writing. Sprinters tend to have a very alpha/outgoing personailty and that is really obvious.  He also doesn't seem to gloss over his love of junk food and partying and how it nearly derailed his career.

I've been working my way through the "Bones" books. I am up to the 5th or 6th book but I have taken a break from these to read some books I got for Father's Day.

So far I have read "X" the latest installment in the alphabet mystery series by Sue Grafton, Usain Bolts autobiography "Faster than Lightning" and now I am reading the fourth book in the Millennium series " The Girl in the Spider Web".

You must be pleased to have your car back Judy. Plus you got bonus pens.  ;D

Today I made Tenina's light lemon risotto and garlic prawns. I thought the risotto was very good but DW found it too lemony. I was disappointed with the garlic prawns, nothing I can put my finger on but the flavour was not what I expected.

You may not enjoy gardening Den but you do a lot of things I wouldn't be able to do and I bet you don't ache all over after any of them  ;D

Oh but I do ache all over Judy. My legs and back ache from paddling at  the moment and my legs almost always ache from training. Its all part of getting older  ;)

Sounds like a big effort Judy. I do not enjoy gardening.

Yesterday I went for a swim in the swan river with Shelly Taylor-Smiths Open water group. Then I took my kayak out for a paddle for the first time in many months. Finally in the afternoon I went for a bike ride with a young mentally disabled young man who enjoys cycling but has lost his mojo and hasn't been riding for a year.

Today I went to DW's school to fix a couple of adult tricycles that the kids ride. The gardener had put them together without much success. The pedals kept falling off and the brakes didn't work, they also rattled a lot from loose parts.

Not really Judy. I reckon I am not that easy to live with.  I usually enjoy cooking for special occasions but I don't like having to think about everyday meals.

I haven't been cooking as much as I should lately. Certainly not for enjoyment just enough to survive, but on Sunday night I made Speck and salad Pizzas from Spin a Dinner, and a family favourite called Aunt Bea's chicken (not sure who Aunt Bea is but she isn't any relation of mine).  The chicken dish was for DW and our house guest for Monday's dinner because I went to Perth over night. 

Tonight I am making Tenina's Quick Pumpkin and Feta Tart with caramelised onions from her new ebook "Top 25 Recipes".

Judy that is a long time to be without a car.   :(

I've been off work for a couple of weeks and have a few more to go. So I traveled to Perth last night to go for a swim in the river this morning with Shelly Taylor-Smith and her Open water Tuesday group. It was a bit cold and the water was murky in the morning light. Grabbed a few jellyfish. I really hate that.

Enjoy your holidays Jeninwa, Katj and Mab19.

Glad you are ok Judy. What an inconvenience it will be to get it fixed.

Nice snake Gert.

Best of luck on your recovery Katie. I had one hand done as a precaution after breaking my wrist a few years ago.
