I made a loaf of Thermomumma’s white bread for DH and a Classic loaf.
I managed to get them out of the oven just before we had a massive storm hit. DD and I both yelled everytime the thunder was right over head. It’s ok a little bit away but when it booms over the house I yell. 😀😀😀😀
We were lucky and had very little wind.

The weather fined up and boys harvesting till midnight. I did more washing. Strange clouds today looks like storms but they keep away from us . Done nothing much for Christmas and beginning to realise it’s coming very quickly!

Crumbed chicken thighs and pan cooked them . These are a family favourite. Sliced them up and added steamed green vegetables plus steamed wedges of potatoes. Put into containers then my trusty yeti lunch boxes . Added a nectarine. Packed up to paddock dinner delivery!! Beautiful evening. Boys appreciated it . My dinner was late added mango chutney Shawards ! Boys had cranberry sauce.

Katie, the Apricots from Wilsons were large if bought by the Kilo. $4.50. The box ones were smaller and $20 for a box of 5 k. Aldi’s were $7.50 a kilo.
The large ones had a better flavour. I think the small ones may have been picked while still green as the flavour wasn’t as good. They still made very tasty jam. With the last Kilo I will make sone paste to have with cheese.
Last night I sat in front of TV and removed skin from a kilo of Almonds and shelled a kilo of
Pistachios . I’ve left the Almonds out overnight to dry out.

Afternoon tea with neighbors. I usually take Portuguese Custard Tarts, but today I might make some chocolate and Hazelnut tarts as well. Recipe for the filling in the Guardian. I’m not very good at making the pastry cases so bought cases.
The Art exhibition was interesting but the nibbles were awful.
