We are having a couple here for dinner and per dinner nibbles. As they do not drink alcohol I am looking for a 'sophisticated' drink . I had a look through the drinks section and thought that the cucumber and lemon one. Any others? I am in Bali for another two days and will have another look at the restaurants drink list to get ideas They are gorgeous,but mostly made from syrups with some fruit

Once you have logged in this site, is there anywhere to save your favourite recipes? Something like Taste.com? This would save me having to print and file all my favourites in my ever increasing files

Made this again yesterday. Once again a real hit. I used 3 lemons straight off the tree (just showing off) and used just 550g of sugar. Thank you

Had this last night. Very impressed with the chicken, lovely and juicy. The fillets were quite thick and the 30mins cooking was just right. I put lemon juice, lemon slices and pesto on top. Will certainly do this again.

Thank you all for the 50th wedding congratulations. We went to the Burswood Casino for the first time in Perth yesterday to celebrate DH birthday. We caught the courtesy bus from just up the road at 9.15am and arrived at the Casino at 10am. we became members (free) and bought our $10 fun packs each. We had $20 each to spend at the pokies and with absolutely no idea what to do and looking like real newbies and out of place and so we had a free cup of coffee and tried to decide what to do.
Lights were flashing and money was tingling with payouts, people paying out $500 and more at the gaming tables, it was all rather bemusing. We finally settled onto a pokie and put our money in. In the end we spent $40 and gained $15 so no gold bracelet for the 50th! The fun package included free all you can eat at a very well stock buffet/restaurant. Well worth the money for that alone
All in all it was good day out but the Scottish blood in me would be hesitant to do it again. We arrived back at 5pm

DH and I are being quite social this week. A few days ago we went on the train to Bunbury using up our free Seniors travel tickets. A three hour ride from Perth. Lovely scenery and very comfortable . Two hours there to look around and have lunch, then back to Perth. A long day as we had left at 7.30am to get a park at the railway station and home by 6pm. Wednesday, DH birthday and we are off to the Casino on the bus which picks people up from the suburbs and takes them to the Casino. . Haven't done this before so will be a bit different . Could come home richer???  We will adopt what a friend did, put the money to spend in one pocket and the winnings in the other and when you run out of spending money what you have left in the other pocket is a bonus. Well thats the theory Saturday is our 50th wedding anniversary, so off to Hillarys for lunch. Then back to reality

4 green chillies, deseeded and chopped into 1cm chunks
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 lemongrass stalks, trimmed
1x5cm piece of ginger, peeled
75g bunch coriander, stalks and leaves
handful of basil leaves.
1 and 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1tsp sea salt
1tsp ground coriander
3/4tsp Thai five-spice powder (optional)
2Tbs sunflower oil
2Tbs green peppercorns drained. ( I didn't have any)
Just whizz everything together except the pepperocrns, with 2Tbs water until the mixture forms a smooth paste
Stir in the peppercorns

To use
Add about 2-3 cubes per small can of coconut milk/cream

DH and I are off to the movies this morning! We had said that once we retired we would go once a month but it is really about once a year. Going to see Star Trek and that's a movie you just have to see on the big screen. Big day out

I have just bought a large seedless whole watermelon as it was so cheap... $3.20. How long will it keep if I don't cut into it? Is it worth buying more and storing them?. We are having a watermelon and lemon smoothie every day for breakfast
Can it be frozen?
What about Rockmelon, the same questions
thanks
