- An interesting article in the Sydney Morning Herald this week about the public service and the type of language used by the government to describe job cuts - In Defence of Public Servants
- Jamie Oliver's Swedish Meatballs were a big hit at our house this week - a little bit of Ikea at home
- I'd really like my laundry to look like this
- It's going to be 40C here tomorrow, so I'd rather be here:
Enjoy the weekend!!
Time to actually get back and do this blogging thing properly. Another year has nearly passed me by, and what a year it has been.
So, what do I have to talk about?
I love travel - armchair and in real life
I enjoy cooking, but I enjoy cookbooks more
I like writing super lists about everything
I love reading about other people's fabulous lives in beautiful places
I really want to learn a foreign language, but so far my efforts have been "meh"
I would love to live overseas for 12 months - Italy, France, New Zealand, Tasmania...
And I have loads more holiday snaps to bore everyone with
So, to begin...
I like to plan meals - religiously every Saturday I sit with a cookbook, my trusty Kikki-K Weekly Meal Planner and my i-Pad for online grocery shopping. And, of course, a glass of wine for sustenance.
My favourites lately have been anything from Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meals or 30 Minute Meals. I have no illusions - I can't get food on the table within those time limits - but Mr O's recipes are easy, tasty, generally healthy and budget friendly.
So this week's menu plan from 15 Minute Meals is:
Monday - Tasty Daal Curry, Warm Tomato Salad and Naan
Tuesday - Sausage Fusilli with Creamy Garden Salad
Wednesday - Golden Chicken, Braised Greens and Potato Gratin
Thursday - Swedish Meatballs, Celeriac and Spinach Rice
Friday - takeaway night
Saturday - someone else's turn to cook
Sunday - Roast chicken and vege
