Chicken Satay ...

 It was quite hot here yesterday and I didn't leave the house all day.  In fact I stayed in my pyjamas all day.  I got jobs done but I just needed a day off.  We have had three 4-day weekends in a row where we have entertained people, gone four wheel driving and also had a trip to Sydney plus I have worked every day since Christmas.  I am spent.

I did 4 loads of washing to catch up, made bread rolls, decluttered the bedroom, watched several trashy TV shows (Super Nanny, Hoarders, My Secret Obsession), completely cleaned/wiped out my washing machine (*gleaming*) - all in my pyjamas... then I showered and put new ones on.  Someone else made dinner :)

Then I watched more TV, with the fan going on me because I think there's something wrong with our air conditioner (doesn't feel like refrigerated air to me!).  

 Here's the recipe for the Satay Chicken...
