Blah Day... Mish-Mash

Monday!
My favourite day of the week.
I got all my housework done by 2pm [including floors]. Now this doesn't seem news worthy, but to me it's a bloody headline in a major newspaper. This is the first time in MONTHS I've been able to tackle dusting, vacuuming, mopping, organising... you know all that fun stuff.. 0_o Of course my body is so sore now, but it's all worth it because my house looks AWESOME!

The weekend went ok. Saturday my family were invited to my Uncle's place for a BBQ and it was a beautiful night. It was just us and them and it was so nice to just hang together without other people there like there usually is.
Sunday I crocheted all day, I made a cushion cover for my bed [red of course] and didn't go to bed until I finished it. No cooking, no cleaning, NOTHING! Just sat and watched episodes of 'Revenge'. This show is a big hit with me. Firstly I love Madeline Stowe, she's just stunning and secondly, it's like a modern day 'Count of Monte Cristo' and for those that know me, know that is my favourite book EVER! It's well written for a show that has lines like -
Man: I just want to fix our relationship
Woman: Well you shouldn't have slept with my best friend then

Whoa!!!! OK I'm not for soapy-type shite, but this show has me hooked. Hahahahahahaha... I must be getting trashier in my old age

Confucius once said that if you ever embark on a journey of revenge, you'd better dig two graves... Well said Dude! But what the hell do I know about revenge anyway, I've never hated anyone or anything in my life. Bless!


Today I wear my cape around my waist and make things in the kitchen. I'm trapped at home unable to go to the shops so I had to make stuff using the basic ingredients I had on hand for dinner tonight.

So I made some potato and bacon hash and I'll top that with a poached egg but the magic underneath this hash is some homemade olive and sundried tomato soda bread that I whipped up in no time. I'm following Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's advice and making my own daily bread. Too many preservatives and chemicals in shop bought bread and really there are so many recipe's out there, if you have no time there are heaps of instant bread recipe's. It just takes planning.

The second thing I made was potato kibbeh. This will require me to write out a recipe it's not so readily available seeing as it's a family recipe. Usually I steer clear of Lebanese cooking because it takes TOO long to make, but this was relatively easy. But I can't see the point in writing the recipe out because I don't even think anyone reads this blog page anymore which renders all these words a moot point. Excuse me while I file that comment under 'Screw It'

 If you want the recipe comment below and I'll post it for you.

So it's a real summer's day today. So confusing! The Air-Con is on, the couch beckons, I've done enough today. It's time to make some old fashioned granny squares for a cushion cover while I sit on my butt, watching more episodes of  'Revenge'

Have a happy day and remember to eat Cake for breakfast every now and then...
