FRAGRANT

Have you really smelt food when cooking? 

I mean really take in the smells of all the components in a dish!

Curry is one of my favourite dishes and this Korma prawn curry was no different, one day we will have smell-a-vision

STYLE

We took a trip to the Ginger Factory on the Sunshine Coast and saw this growing out the back in what seemed to be styled in the shape of a heart and continuing outward. It was very lush and wonderful collection of trees and shrubs and made for a lovely walk.

WORDS

I love this sign, I found it at a craft show in Canberra and got permission to take a photo of it.
I am very lucky that my husband does let me buy anything.

DECORATE

Who says I can't play with my food?

We went strawberry picking and I used them to spell out the word Jam under the bottles of strawberry jam I had made. Picking your own from a strawberry farm sure beats the store bought ones which have no flavour at all.

WOYWW 272

I was busy this whole week welcoming, making lots of trips to the airport to pick up relatives and drop them off. We celebrated my grandmas 95th birthday. Here's the birthday girl below. So you will excuse the non desk post.
We worked out she has 8 children, 19 grand children (I'm in this lot), 20 great grand children and 2 great great grand children.

Here she is with her 2 great great grand children Jaydina and Brendan

4 of the 9 children (my mum is on the right)

11 of the 22 grand children (thats me on the left in red, I am part of 5 brothers and sisters and we are 1,2,3,4,6 in the back row)

8 of the 20 great grand children

the food OMG the food, everyone brought a dish or two and it was awesome to taste all those different dishes. 

Front left bottom and going clockwise: Lasagne, pasta salad, potato salad, pico de gallo, stir fried veges, broccoli salad, Chicken and potato, palau, roti, pumpkin-pinenuts-beans, char kway teo, bbq pork buns

 Chicken and mushroom soup, goat curry, lentil curry, another pot of goat curry

  oh so yummy spring rolls

 I got up at 4.30am on Saturday morning to make 130 of these Indian breads we call roti. they are very popular in our family and at any parties and it was worth waking up so early to do them. I made 50 an hour with two burners going. Then I had help and production slowed down lol.

BEFORE BEDTIME

This is my routine before bedtime. I sit on the lounge with my feet up (my job involves being on my feet), have my kindle out and read when nothing on TV interests me.
Talk to hubby about his day and my day. It's very relaxing.

T for Tuesday

Hubby makes the best macaroni and cheese, he added blue cheese from Aldi for this one.

It was absolutely delicious.
Nice with a cup of tea.

EDITED: Due the comments about hubby taking over the cooking in my house.
Heres my secret: I told hubby I cook on weekdays and he cooks on weekends
and if he doesn't cook then we don't eat...and I stuck to my guns hahahaha.
So after a few weeks of no food on the weekends he got the hint!!
