DD took Judy and I to the White Light Festival tonight. All of Ballarat was there. The buildings had a great variety of projected images . Lovely crowd atmosphere with music and food stalls.

Cookie, that meal sounds very nice.
Yes, I’m doing my best to fatten Judy up. She’s very prepared to try my experiments.

Funniest thing happened yesterday. The company who installed my blinds for my garden room sent 2 reps with a gift box of gourmet foods and a large bunch of flowers. I’m sure this isn’t normal practice. I can only guess that it’s because I feed the workers when they come. Nice but unnecessary.
Gym this morning.
We have had some lovely rain.

The Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie was extremely tasty so thought I should post this here. It’s not really a recipe.
Make a batch of SOS sauce.
Add as much cooked chicken as it will take. ( salmon or prawns )
Cook button mushrooms in EVOO, add to sauce and chicken.
Add a large handful of chopped parsley.
Add cream to thin out a little and dilute the taste of the SOS sauce.
Serve topped with pastry, potato or bread crumbs. Or as I did, over garlic bread.

Cookie, Strawberry and Rhubarb sounds interesting. Will give it a try.
Would love some Rye bread, especially if it had Caraway seeds in it. Might make a seed loaf with dried potato flakes in it. I fancy a curried egg sandwich for lunch.

Cookie, Rain is wonderful when you don’t get much.
The men finished my Garden Room and it’s lovely. It has 4 see through mesh type blinds that are remote controlled. The blinds provide privacy and wind protection but can be seen through from the inside. There is also a sun blind over the top for hot days.
More jam today. It is citrus season. Will also make some Lemon Butter for GD who is coming at Weekend. All in TMX.

Rum and Raisin Banana cakes. Mandarin marmalade. I’ve been making all sorts of odd mixtures of jam and Quince paste. At Probus they give them out for Birthdays and as prizes. People donate small jars and excess fruit and I add something . I recently made mixed berry and rhubarb jam, and added Muscat to the Quince Paste. At meetings they openly discuss what they have tasted and are delighted with the unusual mixtures. I’m surprised.

Katie, have just finished ‘ A Spanner in the Works’ by Alice Anderson. Highly recommended. Now reading ‘Educated’ by Tara Westover. Have read 1/3, not liking it at all.
Men coming to finish Garden Room. Cleaner also coming.

Cookie, lovely way to spend a day.
Today, Tai Chi, book club and lunch and GS and friends for Dinner. White frost last night. Beautiful sunny morning. 3 loads of washing before Tai Chi. Crazy!
