K Atie, I love apricot jam too but find bought ones pretty tasteless. If only I knew someone with a tree.

My consultant spent over 2 hours here today, she came with a bowl cleaning brush as a gift which was nice of her. I’d not seen them before. I wanted to know how to use the cutter/spiraliser so we made zoodles which I’ll use later for tea. We sliced red onions to make the Cookidoo version of Pickled Red Onions which I completed after she had gone. A cooked egg mayo was made then some coleslaw to make use of what was left in the bowl. The only meal I wanted cooked was a TMX version of a ckd recipe I’ve made before - Chickpea, zucchini stew. Learned a few things about the machine so all in all it was great. 

Chookie that is a very simple marinade, must try it as G loves chicken wings. I make him a suitable sweet chilli sauce so could use that. Oh and I sent a link to my consultant of your crispy batter for fish at her request.

My consultant isn’t coming until Tuesday ladies so naturally I had to have a play with my new machine. I’m making a list of questions as I go but so far today using Cookidoo I’ve made tomato soup using some of my copious supply of cocktail tomatoes (haven’t tasted it yet), a pea and chickpea slice thingy for lunch with DF which I didn’t like but will try some as a soup with added chicken stock tonight and then I did the Vegemite cheesy scrolls which look good. I’ll have one with the soup tonight. Yes it’s great and leading up to the delivery I had bookmarked lots of recipes to try, only those with a rating of 4 or more which doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to enjoy it - the pea slice for example. DF was very surprised with the performance.  I’d done all the prep work on 2 recipes before he arrived so it was just a matter of then whizzing through the prompts which meant a very quick result to get it into the oven or pressing the cook button for the soup. Love how quiet it is, a clever little machine for sure and although I haven’t been using the 31 much I know I will do more in this one. Finding kidney friendly recipes will be my mission but I can see myself just swapping out ingredients from Cookidoo or converting recipes from different kidney sites.

Good to see you able to go out today Chookie, I hope you learned something from the physiologist.

Cool change was lovely this afternoon, I hope it stays cool. The a/c man has not got back to me, they’re probably all run off their feet.

Take care those in fire prone areas, thinking of you all as cookie is.

Well done for keeping on trying Chookie.  I thought I’d try the new machine, my consultant isn’t coming until Tuesday so I made a salt free version of veg stock paste. Well, that was fun.

Thank goodness they let you know Marina, love the way you found the spot 😁

I’m sitting under the fan watching the cricket on this very hot day whilst waiting for the delivery of my Christmas gift, the TM7. Unfortunately my air conditioner carked it last night after 25 years - as they do - so not sure I’ll be trying it out today.

Unlike you to do nothing Chookie so I can imagine how frustrated you would be. You do like to read though so I imagine you're doing a lot of that.

I’ve just ordered the TM7, a surprise Christmas present from my very special DF. I’ve had to revamp my bench space in readiness for the delivery.

Today I was supposed to have delivery of one of those huge you-beaut massage chairs, my Christmas present for myself and others to use. Message received this morning that it won’t be here in S.A. until early next week. I had to get rid of a large lounge suite and change up the lounge and family rooms to fit it in.

A good start to the New Year for me.

She asked for a holiday so the 4 of them are in NZ at the moment. No doubt there will be a family dinner upon their return cookie.

Sorry to hear that Chookie, fingers crossed that improvement happens quickly and the problem doesn’t return. Looks like you’ll be resting up for a while and thank goodness for the support you have. Take care 😘

Good on you Grandma. No cooking in this heat but I did boil some eggs for an egg and lettuce sandwich for lunch.

That room would have been a shock to you Chookie, great that you were able to find a much better one. Congratulations to Jilly.
Cookie life becomes so hard as we age and have health problems, wishing your DB & SIL all the best. Hopefully they have children who can help when needed.
A stinker here today in Adelaide so all jobs done early and I’m going to spend the rest of the day watching the cricket.

Found a piece of quiche in the freezer, that will do me with some salad. Mango and ice cream for dessert.

Your home made fruit mince pies look lovely cookie, I could never eat a horrible bought one but it makes a big difference if you bake your own.
