Weekend- Sunday night

Organic chicken stir fry- two portions of organic chicken thighs, 3 whole cloves (next time will get a cloth to put them into) fresh minced garlic,mushrooms, tiny honey squeeze(if you haven't guessed I've bought the squeeze bottle but will consider a large bulk buy soon-probably when I purchase the yoghurt maker) lemon juice, parsley- I think basil or thyme could work better.








Dessert - jelly special from last night. Miss Delight enjoyed it and said it was an 8/10.

Resisting 24 cup cakes

Thought this was almost impossible but focussing on my milk and sugarfree tea was a great help. Photo of pregnant sister and the cupcakes I resisted.

Weekend - Sunday and at my sister's baby shower

The jelly I made from Gelatine - Kosher and fresh Apple and Passionfruit Juice by the Juice Company,some vanilla pod seeds and honey for sweetening.
This morning before I could take a picture I had to sample it and it was delicious.
I also baked a strange looking biscuit of coconut (but very very tasty).
Preparation time: 10 min and then 7min in a fan forced oven
Shredded coconut toasted on the stove before hand, unsalted butter, honey, pinch of baking soda - the legal stuff, and almond meal to bind together and form into a pastry like consistency. It made about 12 and I've eaten 3. Will try and save them for the working week.

AAA Sydney Rock Oysters and sashimi from the fish markets was divine.

Day 3 Weekend

Having got up at an unearthly hour to tidy the place then lock myself out of my room.. I finally picked up my wonderful guest from the airport and introduced her to the Paddington neighbourhood. I forget how peaceful my home is ie a Japanese hut on the edge on an enchanted forest with large mystical birds singing in the background. We may swim in the pool of divine youth that can be seen from the first storey window. But in the meantime..
A breakfast snack:
Same as yesterday, I served my guest and I a boiled egg with hand made salt and pepper. My guest Miss Delight gave me Ginseng tea as a gift and we enjoyed a cup along with the egg.
I'm back to sleep and will awake when I don't feel so tired.
At the Sydney fish markets enjoying some sea wonder... I think about that BBC special called FISH!! and I appreciate the Japanese relationship with fish.

Amococo at the Adeliade Fringe Festival - intestine anyone?
