At Ripple Bay of course everything goes right all the time? Not so. Last night we and friends for dinner and i left a pan steaming happily away by accident and it burnt on the bottom of the saucepan (no photo of that little beauty!). This compares to the last time when the same friends came over and I had somehow forgotten to visit the butchers and so we had a meatless BBQ. Anyone would think I was vegetarian…oh yes actually i am the lone vegetarian in the household. Hmmmm.
On a more positive note I was happily sewing away this morning, straight after breakfast steadfastly ignoring the sink full of dirty dishes, and listening to the dulcet tones of kids with friends playing happily (aka fighting and yelling) when they decided to go and find fish in the estuary. Disaster struck! One net had holes in it! Luckily crafty Mama had her needle and thread out and magically fixed things. Onwards and upwards…………….I'm off for a stiff coffee, Happy Weekending, Emma x
What do you do if your daughter announces at 6.30pm that she needs a "plate" of food to share at a class room shared lunch the next day? Well the English side of you gets out the Domestic Goddess and the NZ side of you flips through the Edmonds cookbook and you whip up a batch of meringues in next to no time and create an incredible illusion of efficiency!
