Sunday morning catch up...

It's been a long week! A cold, busy, can't wait for Friday week! Thank God It's Friday!

My junk food of choice when I dine alone is Macaroni Cheese Deluxe - my guilty pleasure!

My sister, Leanne had her birthday yesterday so I made Melting Moments to have at afternoon tea.

They turned out perfectly...

When I went to find something for dinner, I noticed the butcher in Woolies was reducing packs of meat.  I hung back a bit then when he'd finished, I snapped up these 2 packs of lamb shanks - out at half price!

~

This my own recipe for Moroccan lamb shanks - 1 onion, carrot and stick of celery, diced; a can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of water, 250gms medjool dates and then sprinkle with 2-3 tblspn moroccan spice mix and the same of brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper.  I set my slow-cooker on low at 2pm and crossed my fingers....

When I got home at 7pm, Gus had the potatoes on steaming for mash and I did some peas.  It was delicious, sweet and spicy.  I'll be making that recipe again!

So here we are and it's Sunday again.  I hope to make bread this afternoon, using my new banettons that I bought. I'll show you them later....
