Astarra, amazing.  What time is Dinner?
It was 5:30 ;)

Tonight got a kg of mince in the slowcooker, will do a shepherd's pie for tonight and hopefully leftovers to make meals for the freezer, having a procedure next week (First week of school holidays too) which the docs are saying I won't feel like much for a while after.... :/ but my family will still need to be fed!! :)

Looking good Astarra. What are they?.

There are:
beans (3 color mix + stringless pioneer)
zucchini (blackjack and a striped variety which I can't remember the name of)
cucumber (sweet and striped)
snow peas
oregano + chives
lettuce
pansy, marigold and nasturtiums
tomatoes (salad mix, valentino, tigerella, cheery ripe)
capsicum (7 color mix and mini sweet mix)
jalapenos
watermelon (sugarbaby)
pumpkin (Kent [which apparently don't grow in Tas so we'll see]and buttercup)
and lady in the snow apple seeds .... which have yet to come up

My goodness your seeds germinated quickly Astarra.

I'll say they did - by day 5 they were already up :) I couldn't believe it!!!

Have just made chicken stock in the slowcooker, so after straining it, I put a bit back in the bowl and have added chicken drums and seasonings..... not sure how it'll come out but worth a try :)
will do mash and steamed veg with it... oh and gravy using more chicken stock as the base :D

Love the chair :D

I'm just looking at kombucha kits... been advised to drink it to help with the migraines I've been getting the last 6+ months, has definitely been beneficial but so expensive  :o ... so will most likely start brewing my own at home :)
