I FORGOT....AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE

 A long time ago I bought some plastic/rubber thingees online to cook eggs in.  Then totally forgot about them.

Went back to boiling eggs in their shells, and getting crabby as F trying to get the shells off without loosing half the egg.

But, I dreamed about those damn things a couple of nights ago, so found them and tried them out again.

I loathe egg yolk on it's own, so for my egg I put it in the container and shook the shit outta it.

And...

ABOVE: LOOK at that!

Not only did it cook the eggs perfectly ... my one came out 'yellow'.  The yolk is perfectly mixed up with the white.  I'm stoked.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO #5.

STEVE is 35 today.  My god time flies by.

His little family is coming to ours for dinner tonight.  There will be cake.

Not expecting anyone else except maybe Brylee and Dom.  Steve wants to keep it simple, and as it's his birthday ... that's all good, his call.

Now as for today's plans... I think we are hanging around home, Stew might mow the lawns again as they are getting VERY long again.

Keera and I will go and buy a birthday cake for tonight I suppose.

JULIE H:  Instapot?  Hmmm... I think I'm swearing off buying another kitchen appliance!  I've resisted the 'Air Fryer' craze too!

It seems to be the morning/day for little jobs around the place.

Stew has done the lawns, and I've re-potted two plants.  And watered outside pots. 

I bet it rains now.  Certainly has been looking like rain for a while now.

We are heading out soon to look at a new heat pump for the family room.

I wasn't going to get another one till next summer, but it was COLD this morning.

And I'm a wimp.

3.15 pm: So we put off looking at Heat Pumps till later in the week.  I want to speak with the man who serviced our heat pumps a while ago, and get his opinion on which one to get.

Dante and Archer are now here having a play date with Keera.  Steve has picked up the chest freezer, so I've got room back in the garage.

2.29 pm: And Steve and Bex just arrived with all the makings of dinner.  We are now having home made lasagne ... Steve's making it even!

STEVE:  (peeling onions for dinner).

BEX:  "Why don't you put the googles on?"

STEVE:  "Cos it's my birthday, and I'll cry if I want to".

CRACK UP.

ABOVE:  Well Steve outdid himself again.  You simply cannot beat home made lasagne, right down to the lasagne sheets!  Everyone enjoyed dinner very much.

Cake photo tomorrow.

Now though, we are winding down for the evening.

Three kiddos here tonight for a sleep over.

FUN.
