Spinach and feta quiche
I tell you, having chickens is wonderful! They eat our food scraps and lay eggs for us. We have been eating quiche and custards lately (I will post a recipe for some custards soon). Not so great for our waistlines, but delicious nonetheless. Tonight I made a spinach and feta quiche. It was so delicious; […]
20/8/12 – 26/8/12:
26/8/12: a friend gave me some flowers. They are daphnes and they smell divine! I haven’t been feeling well; it’s true that flowers brighten up your day. 25/8/12: I love Saturdays. The children decorated some gingerbread people. Magic times. 24/8/12: new bedding. I love my bedroom. 23/8/12: I sat at home. In the quiet. With […]
Fabric Friday: winking owls
I think owls are a bit of a hoot. In fact, I am a bit bird crazy right now, not just the iconic birdies, but real birds. I am seeing so many in my garden right now, in particular, the red breasted robin, blue wrens, wedge tailed eagles, hawks, kites, currawongs, crows, sparrows and plovers. […]
Rainbows
It was a lovely, sunny day, until I hung my washing out to dry and it began to rain. It’s always the way. When I brought my little children home in the afternoon, we watched this rainbow. Matthew noticed that the end of it landed on our property. I suggested there’d be a pot of […]
Shopping. And Flowers
We buy the Groceries online. I am saving over $100 per week shopping this way because I am not prone to impulse buying and I am not tempted by chocolate and chips and so on during the hours of the day when I am at my weakest point of will power (ie after work, before […]
Picnic (and a quiche recipe)
I made a quiche with the eggs our hens laid. Delicious! My recipe is at the end of this post. We headed down to Catamaran, which is near Cockle Creek, which is near ‘The End of the World.’ We went to a very pretty, secluded bay. The area is a popular camping ground but the […]
13/8/12 – 19/8/12
19/8/12: we spent the day at Catamaran with some lovely friends. We had a picnic and Monte went diving. It was a great day. 18/8/12: Matthew had a friend to sleep over for the first time. My goodness, they are so adorable, these little boys, with their games and their chatter and their excited play. […]
Fabric Friday: ‘Grocer #5’
This fabric, ‘Grocer’ cotton drill from spotlight is bright and cheery. Spotlight has a few colorways of this but I chose the red version (#5) for making some Christmas presents, such as oven mitts, aprons, gardening gloves and hot pads – you know, useful kitchen stuff. I thought it might also make a good iPad […]
