Loving this opportunity to join the “Say! Little Hen” Here and Now link-up again. Although I adore anything hand knitted, I start knitting projects with great, but not long lasting, enthusiasm and then my mother has to finish them so I am full of admiration when I see Sarah’s projects.
LOVING// The crisp, clean appearance of the outside of the house after it has been repaired and repainted. The painters did a great job and we’re really pleased with the outcome.
EATING// Venison is not commonly available in Western Australia but we’d bought some from a venison farm during a trip down south. Browned the meat and added it to an orange juice, Cointreau, treacle, tomato paste, flour and beef stock sauce to make a rich casserole. It was delicious.
FEELING// Pleased to have more household repairs done. Our house is twelve years old and lots of things suddenly need repair, renovation and repainting. The silicone sealant between the bench and splash back behind the tap had developed black, mouldy marks, so we scraped it out and my brother replaced it. Clean and fresh.
DRINKING// More double espressos than I should but I love meeting friends for a chat and a coffee.
MAKING// This slow cooker version of our son’s beef curry, rich with spices resulting in subtle layers of flavours. Gorgeous colours, gorgeous aromas, wonderful taste.
THINKING// I’ve been busy on Pinterest, saving possible Christmas crafts, decorations and food ideas. The cleverness and generosity of all these people sharing their ideas and skills is wonderful and so motivating.
DREAMING// About everything that marks early summer…..watermelon, lighter and less clothes, salads and easy meals, the garden full of flowers, herbs and tomatoes, the long casual evenings when it’s light until late, all without the scorching heat of the later West Australian summer.
