I just had to add to this post to say that this is my 1000th post since starting blogging in August 2008! Wow, I've met some lovely online friends and learned so much from it all.
Since I last posted these are pics off my phone. Oh, goodness there are some food pics in there. Oh, well I suppose we all have to eat!
Mini vegetable quiches with salad ...
A quick lamb curry using a HotPot mix.
Into the crockpot at 1pm (thrown in as I went back to work) ...
Ready at 5pm!
A trip to Adelaide saw me home alone for a few hours, waiting for Gus to arrive. The girls had gone to see The Rocky Horrow Show live at the Festival Theatre.
When Gus arrived, we headed for our favourite Indian restaurant, Hazara on The Parade). This was the night we were meant to go see The Rolling Stones, but of course the concert was cancelled due to the tragic circumstance of Mick Jagger's girlfriend taking her own life.

I earned Best Wife of the Year award when I made this Tasmanian Salmon salad for Gus' lunch. He was beside himself!
I down-graded and had tinned tuna with balsamic vinegar and this fruit and veggie plate. It was very filling...
I bought this Bellini which is very similar to the Nutri Bullet - the motor is not quite as powerful but for $29 it was a bargain. I made a banana choc smoothie in two seconds flat!

I got new glasses - these have graduated lenses so it is taking a while to adjust. And yikes, they were quite a bit more expensive than previous lenses!
Season 4 of Downton Abbey arrived in the mail - I have all the bottm row to watch!
Last night saw us visit Horsham in Victoria. We dined at the local Thai but it was a bit lacklustre. Hours of business on the door said open until 9.30pm. We arrived late after ringing them and were told we had to be there by 8.30pm or no go. We got there and had to order straight up and the entree and main come out all together. We didn't realised it was a BYO so Gus had to sprint down the road to the BWS to grab a bottle of wine!
The Massaman chicken curry was okay but I dont think the chicken had been cooked in the sauce for long, not a lot of flavour...
Today we headed for home down some back roads ... that happened to lead us to some wineries!
More narrow country roads. The countey is still very dry, they haven't had any good rain for quite a while.
Back over the SA border...
We called into Coonawarra and had lunch at Fodder - wood fired char grilled pork belly entree
and shared a light crispy wood fired pizza...
Then it was back on the road, heading for home...
Something light for dinner - curried pumpkin and coconut soup...
I sauteed onion, carrot and celery then added pumpkin and sweet potato, chicken stock, salt and pepps and a generous tablespoon of curry powder.
