Weekend roundup...

*** Spider warning - a few pics coming up ***

~

First up, Friday night Fakeaway - turkey apple burger with carrot, beetroot, tomato, apple lettuce slaw and mayo on a brioche (bun not WW approved, but it was small, light and fluffy)...

~
I had steamed eggs on toast for breakfast Saturday morning...
~

Saturday evening - Gary Mehigan's WW Black Pepper Chicken curry.  Quite nice, but I think it just needed a little sweetening off, but quite yummy!

~

Sunday morning - Hot Mess!  

~

I sauteed up (no oil) capsicum, onion and about 20 gms bacon...then removed from pan.

~

Then I steamed some zucchini zoodles, carrot and sweet corn...then added the bacon mix back in...

~

I then nestled 2 whisked eggs into the mix, put a lid on and steamed it until the egg was firm.  Sprinked with smokey paprika!  Declared delicious! 2 points for the bacon!

~

Later in the morning, I went out to water my Vegepod and this nasty creature was sitting on the outside!  I am petrified of spiders but over the years I have mellowed slightly.  This sight previously would have had me run around to the front of the house and no coaxing would get me back there!  Even looking at these pictures would have been hard!

~

Husband wasn't home at the time so rather than lose sight of the blighter, I decided I had to act!  I sidled past him and went inside to get a can of spray.  Hairs on my arms are standing up!  Now I have to spray him without having him jump on me! Yikes!  I reach around from the other side of the Vegepod and give a big spray, many, many sprays!  He zooms around into the inside of the pod!

~

I caught it all on video and it is quite funny to watch.  You can hear my breathing and how agitated I am...

Anyhoo, after about 30 minutes, he finally succumbed and ended up a crumpled heap in the Vegepod.  Now I am wondering if he has a mate???

~

My tomatoes are doing really well in here.  I can spiI had thinned out some of the Tiny Toms that I popped in here (I just sunk all the shrivelled tiny tomatoes that were still on the vines from last year, back into the soil).  I replanted some in a pot, so we'll see how wer go with those.  I wonder if disturbing the soil made the spider come out or if he was just lurking...it doesn't bear thinking about!

~

When husband got home, I made him extricate the mongrel with some long handled tongs, squash it then throw it over the fence!

~

My well earned mid afternoon snack...

~

I made up two overnight oats pots - one with strawberries and the other with blueberries.  5 points each.

~

My sourdough starter went into the bin - it failed to thrive after day 3...bummer!

~

Pretty, very neglected rose, struggling to survive amongst the mint, morning glory vine and rosemary bush...

~

So vividly hot pink!

~

Dinner last night - Mayura Wagyu beef kebabs - from our local Foodland.  These were delicious!

~

Oats pot this morning - was yummy with more strawberries added on top!

~

~

I added chia seeds which help thicken it up...

~

Bless me!  Look what I found when I went home at lunch time today, dead as a doornail!  Charlotte's buddy, Charlie!

RIP!
