What a nice turn-out for the first of July! Great to see you in here, Ficks - hey ... how did those plants go? The ones you planted along the fence. Patio roses if I remember right? Cold and drizzly here; one down - two to go and we'll be springing into it again.

So as we drive to Sinney yesty I took a picture of the lymphatic drainage leg octopus.





Then after visiting Mr Rags' sister, we find a parking spot in Kings X and go to Ortolan.
They served us with an amusing bush.....Spanner crab confused custard with a fine dice of tomato and spanner crab on top, The waiter then ceremoniously poured a crab consumerey deduction on top. Mixed together it was scrummy. Sitting on the spoon was a most delicate shoe pastry profit ter oll filled with a crab infused chantilly cream.





Mr Rags then had bunny rabbit for mains with baby carrot, beet and babt turn up.. and mashed potato (yeah) with herbs innit.





I had a crappy net of quail on a brioche, with some rooly nice tiny mushrooms

Dessert for Mr Rags was cheese. Look at that knife pleat in those trousers. Sarge would be proud of that.




The almonds were drenched in the lightest most delicately flavoured honey I have EVER tasted. Waitress said it came from a farm somewhere in the Hunter called Salvation Jane. Not much help. (And the honey certainly didn't taste like Salvation Jane. Or Pattersons curse... :H)




I had bombed Alaska.




with heartseas.





And this afternoon ... guess what I'm going to make.





BTW who won the soup comp? Was it Ronnie?

Ficks - so lovely to see you! I'll do an AF July with you ....... I completely lost my mojo in June, but feeling quite determined at the moment. What I did do in June though was get back seriously into my exercise programme, so what with that and not having two brass farthings to rub together at the moment, that should keep me on the straight and narrow.

We've just got back from the weekend. Mr B's boy has a really dreadful cold, and was quite keen to leave school as early as possible, so we are home a bit earlier than usual which is lovely. It was so cold last night that I didn't sleep particularly well, (and it required running the car for 10 minutes just to get the ice off the windows!!) so I'm feeling a bit wrecked today. So tonight's agenda involves macaroni cheese a bath and an early night!!!

This is our favorite pie shop in Wanganui, which sells pies from Raetehi, a tin pot town in the middle of the volcanic plateau. The pies are incredibly nice, with really interesting fillings and proper meat.



If you look at the bottom right hand-corner of the cabinet on the left, you can just see .......



..... pineapple and lime lamingtons :H:H I think they look very artistically presented myself. but then I can sometimes be a bit of a bogan

Din-dins looks great, Rags.

Missy won the Soup Comp because Techie said so and she'll also win the Pizza Comp because she was a Pre-pubescent Pizza Prodigy. It's only fair.

Erm ... if there were eggs I'd guess lemon/passionfruit butter ...
