Easter renovations...

This is how we spent Easter - painting, sanding etc.
~

Brianna transformed the lounge room pelmets from 'mission brown' to 'new antique off-white' with great results.
~

We painted a feature wall in the lounge room - Dulux 'Spiced Nutmeg'
~

This is how Angus felt after the painting was finally all finished on Monday night - absolutely knackered!
~

This room will look really spiffy when the new oak flooring goes down (was supposed to go in Tuesday but the stupid contractor double booked himself! Grrr!)
~

Kirby chose a decorative metal motif to set the wall off.
~

Finally - the old grotty kitchen and.... (drum roll if you please.....)
~

Ta Da! The finished kitchen, just waiting for the new floor boards. We are extremely happy with the way it all turned out. It was not a cheap fix but the investment will pay off when we sell the unit in years to come.
~

And now, the food! Good Friday night entree - Angus made Zesty, Garlic Prawn skewers. Recipe to follow.
~

Kirby made a nice big salad.
~

I made potato, carrot and sweet potato oven baked chips - healthy and yummy!
~

Good Friday dinner - Angus cooked King George Whiting fillets on the barbecue.
~

On Saturday, Angus found an organic butcher shop nearby so we had T-bones and rump steak and a big tossed salad and baked potatoes.
~

On Sunday, we treated ourselves to lunch out at Jolleys Boat House, on the River Torrens. This was my main - caramelised pork belly, watermelon, green mango and peanut salad with red chilli nam jim. Very rich and oh, so delicious!
~

Desserts ... Passionfruit Pavlova for Brianna ...
~

...Caramel semi-freddo, double choc icecream and butterscotch peanut brittle for Kirby...
~

...and Gus and I shared the Jolly's Menage a Trois! A passionfruit creme brulee', a pineapple vanilla semi-freddo and a molten chocolate pudding with fresh cream. Heaven on a lovely long plate!
~

The young 'uns
~

and a couple of old crocs! Truly a great reward for the hard work we put in.
~

So that was our Easter weekend, full of lots of hard work but some good times and delicious food too.
