Whole orange sponge cake ! Added a thinly sliced rhubarb stalk . Use olive oil instead of canola oil . Sprinkled with Demerara sugar .

Cookie wishing your DH a happy birthday. Nothing like a chocolate bd cake . I had a mug of my chicken feet stock for lunch and feel so much better today . DH was not to happy about seeing the feet sticking up in the stock when I made it - too funny ! You know this means I will continue to torment him with said stock .

We had beef risotto. Added extra vegetables and wine . Fresh parsley. Running on low for dinner ideas . Now  I think o need to freeze some leftovers.

Used half my jelly stock and made a spiced chicken red lentil soup added two chicken legs . Cooked for longer . Lots of fresh ginger and turmeric.

BBQ Steak layered salad . Spinach leaves thinly sliced zucchini cucumber and coriander. Topped with balanced broccolini red peppers and sweet potato noodles. Thinly sliced steak with homemade pomegranate molasses. This is my favourite salad meal . Use any greens .

They look great Cookie Blueberry shortbread biscuits.

Slow cooked in TM6 Bacall’s ( Lebanese pea stew) . I used fresh beans and zucchini. It’s super tasty . Having garlic bread with it . Worth the 3 hour wait .

Cookie there was black something think like a disease and grubs but I’ll check with DH . But the frosts have slowed things down which is great ! That seems opposite to what we normally would think of a very bad frost . We had f
At lest four severe frosts sun a row ! -2.5 for all . It was so cold DH didn’t get out of bed till 9 ! DH DS have been flat out doing lots of jobs on the list before DS went back for DS last semester at uni . DD arrived so we could all go to a 21st on the weekend. It was nice to be together. Stupidly we didn’t use it as a photo opportunity. Loved seeing DS class mates all grown up and so happy . Great night but oh my it was cold and a bit wet too ( the emergency gray silvery look little RMBoot shape gumboots came in handy for myself and DD to get to the shearing shed. Then put our heals on ) . Did many loads of washing fir DD , had a nice lunch with her . DS left at 7 am to go to uni and a 21st at lunchtime . DD worked while I washed and left late . Now there is two again !! DH has gone for the day to look at machinery and pick up some part . Looks like I best cook up all the food I have . Soup and maybe a wholesome dinner .
