We had Butter Chicken with rice and a Masala roll each. 

No cooking here today. I went to see my brother and his wife today. I think I’ve mentioned before that it’s nearly an hour each way.

The house seemed very quiet today without the blue feathered friend “helping” me all the time. So I cooked lots. It kept me busy.

Hi again spersephone. You will love your 7. I’m finding that it makes things smoother than the 6. I made ricotta gnocchi with it yesterday and they were the best I’ve ever made.
I made some English muffins this afternoon from a camping site. The man that posted it uses them as bread when he travels, no kneading required.
We used them for burgers tonight.
Last night’s ricotta gnocchi.

Welcome home Marina. Your holiday sounds amazing.

I don’t use the thermomix spatula much. I always ruin spatulas as I’m left handed and stir the wrong way.

Margaret I hope you are recovering well and the op has helped.

Our Bluey hasn’t been seen. DD dropped leaflets everywhere, DH has walked and driven all round  and my job has been to keep the community Facebook and the lost birds Facebook sites updated.

I miss the hole in the lid too Chookie. I always watch my dough knead and add seeds etc through there.
We’ve had an eventful 24 hours. Yesterday I was bringing in the washing and our budgie flew out over my head. He is just learning that he can fly, but he had never turned all the corners to fly out of the laundry door. We door knocked and looked until dark but didn’t find him. He was just beginning to talk and was a real little devil. He was into everything. We really hope someone picked him up but I don’t know. It was cold and wet last night.



Here he is on top of some Lego and trying to eat DD’s lunch as she prepares it.

It sounds delicious Chookie.
After our turbulent 24 hours we had fish and chips.

We had satay chicken with home made noodles.
