Not much happening in these parts...

  It's all been a bit mundane around here.  I tidy the house, go to work each day, come home, think of something for dinner, cook it, eat it, clean up, watch TV and go to bed.  This week we've had a chicken curry - I like to get all ingredients out so that I don't miss something.

 I don't think I've shared this recipe yet.  It is lovely and quite easy to whip up.
~
This time we enjoyed it with a simple tomato and cucumber pickle and a mint/cucumber raita.  It was altogether yummy!
~
Tuesday night was Tuna Mornay in vol au vents with tossed salad...
Wednesday night I went out for dinner with our Weight Watchers group - Roast Pork.
~
My sister gifted me this absolutely lovely book - choc full of delicious recipes...
~
These are on my list...
Doesn't this look scrummy?
~
I am making this, this weekend.  I am hosting a little afternoon tea for my Auntie and Uncle visiting from Melbourne.  They are coming over to visit my mother.
~
Another yummy one - one day!
~
I might make this too seeing I have raspberry jam on hand...
~
Oh, I've gotta stop!
~
I had my nails done yesterday - a bit rock chick, I know!  There is a tiny coloured glitter in the black polish and then they put a heavier glitter polish on my ring fingers....
~
Dinner last night was a simple Carbonara pasta.  It went a bit dry just as I put it together.  I think a little of the pasta water should have gone in too, or a bit more cream.  Anyway, it was yummy with garlic bread!
~
Here is the recipe (will be inserted shortly - when I get home from work!!).
~

I have already been and bought a hot chook from the supermarket and we are having Easy Chicken Tacos which is a recipe from Taste.com - I blogged about it here (scroll down to end of post).
It's a good recipe as I can have it all made up ready to put on the table for when Gus gets home.  Heat the tortillas and go for it!
~
 I am going to be in the kitchen tomorrow baking away - stay tuned.
Cheers- Joolz xx
