Rather shocked to hear today that Craig Silvey has been arrested on charges of child pornograhy.
We had his book Honeybee for book club a few months ago.

I went out to see my brother yesterday.  It’s his last day of radiation tomorrow. It’s knocked him about a lot. His wife isn’t looking very well at all.  Not fun for them.

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.

Mab, what will you do with the Snow peas ?  I’ve been picking a handful a day.
I’m lucky to have a portable air filter. I’ve set it up in the bedroom. Still a lot of smoke around.
Hairdresser today.

Chookie,  I just steam the snow peas as there are not many of them.  When DS was here last time he planted 3 large pots of beans and they are growing nicely.   DH who is not a gardener found an empty large pot and decided to put in a few extra beans only he didn't read the label and they turned out to be snow peas.  He said the seeds looked a bit different  :-\ :-))
