I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Yet again chaos loomed over The Dog’s household today when at 1:15 p.m. he took a call from the eldest daughter informing him that she’d like him to come to her school to watch her perform in a lunchtime concert. She was playing her flute solo, and in the Junior Flute Ensemble. Seems like a … More Who'd have kids.
I’ve not actually tried this yet… but I can almost *taste* it already. I think it will make quite a pleasant meal. For myself (to maintain the diet) I might substitute almonds for the peanuts, although that would change the flavour substantially from it’s essentially ‘Indonesian’ roots to something quite different. After all, by leaving … More Could be a tasty recipe!!
As you see in the comments, the sister kindly passed on a url with “15 Things to do with Rosemary” so I had a butchers hook and saw most are suggestions for use with food… as you’d expect… but you’d have to use it pretty sparingly for some ideas. It’s such a strong flavoured herb … More More with Rosemary
Obviously chucking handfuls of Rosemary over your lamb is a way of using up some… but I have *buckets* of it! Thing is what *else* can I do with it?? The damn thing is taking over the garden! Yes it’s pretty… sort of… but it’s so big… and so… useless! Any ideas to what useful … More Rosemary? What do I do with it?
I knocked up yet another blog site yesterday. Not for me but for my trainer Sally who has boon looking after me so I’m returning the favour. The look of the place is ok, but it’s odd. Despite them all being different… they’ve all started looking the same. I’ve been looking for a ‘fitness’ related … More Yet another blog
I got fed up being kept out of the kitchen so had a rummage round to see what I could knock up quickly and more or less within the diet rules. Sliced some chicken, made a simple marinade from cumin and olive oil, tossed it about a bit… and left it in the fridge for … More Dinner tonight.
I might have mentioned this before… several hundred times… but I often wonder if the gods are just using me to have a laugh. After two hours watering the new turf up at the Guide Hall this morning I was feeling quite pleased with myself. The temperatures in the early afternoon were above 34ºC and … More Typical.
Remember the 15th November is Steve Irwin Day. I hope you’ll all be donning khaki, leaping about and shouting WOW!!! and CRIKEY!!! at all and sundry… … and of course doing your best to do something *meaningful* towards saving Australia’s wildlife… or if you’re outside Oz… maybe even saving the planet??

The Guide Hall has been having a revamp over recent months. Floors are polished, walls painted, windows re-glazed and given new curtains and a new kitchen and storage area is on the way. Outside lots of undergrowth has been removed, some gardens planted, a flagpole raised and a fire pit dug. As a part of … More Water, water everywhere!
As mentioned a few days ago I was in Sydney with the eldest daughter for her flute exam. What I *forgot* to mention was that on the way back to meet the wife for lunch… I passed an OpShop… a St. Vinnies one I think. I can’t resist an OpShop 🙂 Anyway, I wandered straight … More Cheap thrills!
