I cooked some roast beef a few days ago. I always worry a kilo would be too much for me, but it worked out really well. I had roast beef with potato, roast beef in english muffins with cheese and endive from the garden, and today I have put the rest of it into a pie. The pie was a bit of a throw...

Oh trust me, its not going out of fashion here any time soon haha. I have heard it has medicinal uses before, for ulcers I think, I had used it in a tea, but I am truly not sure how to prepare it. I might look it up now as I do have some big enough to use in that capacity. :) I thought I...

Pulled some weeds while refilling the ducks pond. The marshmellow root is getting big. I have it under control in the main garden but its gone crazy in the boys paddock. I am trying to smother it with some carpet and keep trying to feed the boy ducks in the middle of it so they flatten it a bit...

I could probably find some in a health food store, Its not easy to get delivery here. Thanks for the info :)

Its raining sideways. SO I let the ducks out and came back inside to poke the fire.

Victoria is out of control. The joke here is - what do the Spice Girls and Australia have in common? Victoria spoiled it. The hard boarder seems to be keeping my state safe, so far. Mining magnate Clive Palmer took the state to the high court because we wouldn't let him in. Less than a week...

Not much... I have a LOT of flowers, the first lot of bulbs has started to die off and the next lot are coming through. Its nice to enjoy them and pull a couple weeds. My veggies seem dormant, or at the least, very slow growing. I watered the patio plants but the hoya seem to be losing their...

Welcome :) I enjoy crochet too, working on a c2c rug right now! looking forward to more of your post :)

My buns love being brushed :) They just don't love being picked up for it! Rabbit skin tears easily so as long as you are gentle they may come to enjoy it. Its more important to brush them through a moult, to avoid too much hair ingestion, the rest of the time they are pretty good at cleaning...

Aussie meat pies are savoury, and usually best from country bakeries. They are standard at footy games and servos (petrol stations/roadhouses). Beans could totally substitute in these as well as long as you have the gravy right. Most people eat them smothered in tomato sauce (ketchup?) so the...

Melbourne has been hit with their second wave. Apparently hotel security guarding those in quarantine were the cause of it getting in to the community. WA has toughened our rules, but there are a lot of people fleeing home after catching the virus overseas, for easier and cheaper access to...

I dont know if I am talking about the same sort of beans, because I dont can my own but buy them canned from the shop. I swap out mince meat and use kidney beans very often in my cooking, spaghetti bolognase, lasagne, nachos, burgers. I sometimes fry up chick peas with chicken stock and kale...

The article I linked to was an in-depth investigation about the source of the Hydroxychloroquines trials, from The Guardian (left-leaning and hardly a fan of Trump). Yet it was able to recognise that the collective hatred of him is having far reaching impacts never before seen. The source of the...

Yep, basically, the answer is this - From this article - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/04/unreliable-data-doubt-snowballed-covid-19-drug-research-surgisphere-coronavirus-hydroxychloroquine Shocking read, even for those who already suspected it was suss. I mentioned earlier in...

I did some more chopping today. I have a lot more to do. At least 6 more bins of firethorn to chop up and remove. I chopped some of the back hedge too and am really liking how the bits I leave on the floor are sucking up the rain instead of it all flooding back to sand. The garden is greener...

Closer to 0 again, until the next plane load of infected come in. Life is all back to normal here, not that it changed all that much for me at all. The highway and town is as busy as I have ever seen it. The east coast are missing the west coasts tourist dollars but many people do seem to be...

I had the last of my beef and mushroom pie tonight with mash potato. I think I stretched my stomach out to fit all that food in :drool

I picked some bits for the bunnies and checked out all my seedlings but didn't do much else today. It got suddenly very cold with very dark clouds but not much in the way of rain yet, should be some coming.

I don't envy the heat! It has been the ultimate winter weather here for the last week or so. Around 70-80F (mid 20'sC) day time with 40F nights. BEAUTIFUL! I had berry pies for breakfast, with milo. I have a visitor coming around soon so I am trying NOT to get dirty in the garden. The only way...

I did SO much in the garden today. It was warm and I think I got sunburnt. I had a few hedges to trim back. Its a bit like giving the garden a hair cut, I dont realise how much better it looks until after they are done! The hedge that the ducks were hatched under could be cut back even more but...
