I think I might make a romesco sauce with pasta ... but then again, maybe not. We'll see. I have yet to work up the enthusiasm and energy for that

A pretty lazy day for me today - prepping the apartment for my family due in from Scotland any day now (although they have already had one delay in Amsterdam and subsequently missing their connection from Singapore .. they will get here eventually). Did some work in the office this morning then I treated myself to a quick afternoon nap - what a treat!

I think we need to do some forward planning. Any ideas?
I agree, it would be such a great shame if we lost everything on the forum - not only friendships but a treasure trove of recipes and stories. I don't know anything about how a forum works or how to operate it. Is it covered by MM's copyright? Does anyone know anything about these things? Didn't some of the older members create a separate forum several years ago? Does anyone know anything about that?

Oops, I forgot to say how grateful I am for the effort Judy and Cookie make in contacting MM. very frustrating for you both but we do appreciate your efforts.
I agree totally. Thank you both so much for getting us back together on the forum again.

Mab, I agree with Judy! I guess you can look at it positively, you won't need to clean up that particular area for a few more days!
I forgot to mention that when I was at Chookie's at Easter "we" (I use we loosely there as Chookie did 99% of it) made a batch of excellent hot cross buns - I enjoyed doing the "X's" - some were very dramatic.

I've had a hectic week - MRI on knee (not great), wonderful Easter Saturday with Chookie (when I finally managed to find her place ... does anyone know of a decent satnav app??), Colonoscopy yesterday, Bone densitometry today. Yesterday we had a landscaper in sorting out our top deck, at the moment it looks pretty sad, but once the plants have settled in, had a year's growth and adapted to apartment life they will look really good. Next week two of my cousins are flying in from Scotland (one of whom has the broadest accent you could wish for - I will just be getting used to it when they leave!), but I will be exhausted by then.

Hello everyone.
What a fluke - I was just about to delete the forum from my contacts and thought "oh I had better make sure that it is really dead", and here it is. I will let Chookie know as we were talking over Easter about the forum and she may not be aware that it is up and running again, for however long ... MM has certainly done his best to kill it these past couple of weeks so I suspect we should make the best of it whilst we can.
Having said all that (pessimist that I am) I am delighted to have it back again, I missed you all. I must try to go through everything so that I can transfer recipes to my cook book - how do you go through 10+ years of posts?

Had to dig into the depths of the freezer for dinner last night - ended up with Moroccan pumpkin and lentil soup ...I don't know why I ever made it, it didn't taste great! Hope there was only that one in the freezer so we never have to have it again.

Watched ABC's Back Roads programme last night, it was based in Shark Bay and thought of you Cookie because I know that has been one of your camping spots. It is a stunningly beautiful area.

The Tasmanian break sounds right up your street, Chookie, it would have been very inspiring and great fun.

Glad I did the late run up to the country last night as the delivery came a bit early thi morning, but I would have preferred to leave Melbourne around 6.00 am - way more peaceful (except for kangaroos).
