Thanks Thermomixer, yes maybe I do talk too much -  3000 posts, that's something I would never have envisaged 12 months ago. Funny how your life can change just by buying an appliance.

Have taken your hints onboard re chicken fillets and the best way to cook them to stop them being so dry. 

Thanks for the photo JulieO - glad you liked it.  Now we all have the recipe + photo - perfect.

Dani has one

and I think she likes it.  But one comment that she would maybe sue the rolling pin after to get them thinner?

  Don't think she would get far trying to sue a rolling pin Thermomixer    Doubt any lawyer would take that one on 

Today I have made Spicy Asian Chicken in Garlic Sauce, fried rice (stovetop) and a vanilla version of the Light Ice-cream. Went to the local market this morning so have plenty of fruit to freeze and make drinks with.

I don't believe it   Isi from Portugal supplying us with an Australian icon recipe for lamingtons    Is there no end to your knowledge isi, thank you so much for that 

My first lot of starter is still in the freezer JulieO - will not be making another lot again until I make another menu plan with yoghurt recipes so that I know how I am going to use it up (like I did with the first lot).  We are not great yoghurt eaters in this house so it was made for cooking more than anything else. I will be interested to see if your frozen batch works as a starter for the next lot.

Looks like I may be able to get my raised garden bed sooner than I thought.  Today the guys finished off the front garden (looks great, pity I can't take & post a photo) and because they ordered too many river pebbles I told them they can do down the side of the house for me & use them there. They can start in just over a week and just means cutting down some largish trees and shrubs, laying weedmat then spreading the pebbles. I have the pebbles and the weedmat so it will just be the labour costs &  I can then go out and get myself one of these corrogated iron garden bed containers to sit on the new area.
