SUNDAY... AND YEP, IT WILL BE A DAY OF REST

 We are sleeping in today. Which is gunna be so nice after having to get up so early yesterday.  I'm going to lie here and just doze.  Well... after I've read the news.

ABOVE: That used to be my String Of Pearls plant.  It just never took off, in fact it kinda died.  So, I gave it some Diet Coke.  Who knows ... it might revive it!  But I doubt it. 

Some plants I've managed to keep alive, and that one .. yeah nah.  

ABOVE: That is our 'patch of grass' at Tamahere!  lol   

Just sharing.  It took forever to get our patch.  

I wonder what else I can share with ya today?

Well... you will just have to wait and see.  😂😅😊  Hopefully more than a dead plant and a patch of grass!

10.55 am:  I stayed in bed until QUARTER TO TEN!!!

That's probably the longest 'sleep in' in a very long time.

It was wonderful.

Then I got up and said to Stew, "Let's go to Spotlight!"

ABOVE: The cotton batting I use for the bowl cosy's is on sale this weekend.  And I ALWAYS wait to buy it when it's on sale.

Who wouldn't when it's 60% OFF?

They do this particular sale only about once a year, and I keep a keen eye out for it.  Obviously.

ABOVE: So off we went and bought two bundles of it.  That lot should see me right for the rest of the year, until their next sale on it.  😀😁😊

Steve 'n' Bex mentioned they were having crumbed chicken for their dinner last night, and I said "Oh YUM"... so they decided NOT to have it last night, but bring it around here for lunch today.  That way we got it too.

How lovely is that?

I'm rather looking forward to me lunch now.

And trying something different, cos I sure in hell don't do to the chicken what they are doing.

Paprika?  Onion Powder.  Cornflakes?  Weird.

I will show you the process once they get here and actually DO IT.  

ABOVE:  Steve made a marinade using Greek Yogurt, Paprika, Garlic Power and Onion Powder.  Then he coated the chicken meat in it, and set it to marinate in the fridge.

ABOVE: Then he made the crumble... using crushed corn flakes, the three spices (same as the marinade) and some salt.

ABOVE:  Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken pieces are.

ABOVE: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your other ingredients.  We used lettuce, cucumber, red onion, capsicum, tomato and basil.

Sauces were Sweet Tahini, mayo, and a Greek Yogurt one.

GREEK YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE: (All to taste, so how you like it.)...

  

- Greek Yogurt

- Garlic Powder

- Onion Powder

- Thyme

- Olive Oil

- Lemon juice

ABOVE:  Then you lay out your ingredients on a wrap, fold it up and....

ABOVE:  Then ya eat it.  So bloody yum!!!

And that is my main meal of the day.

I will be having something really light, and a tiny portion for 'dinner'.

Thanks Steve and Bex, that was a really lovely lunch.

ABOVE:  While the chicken was cooking... and Bex was preparing the other shit, Steve, the boys and I played a game of Unicorns.  It was fun, and even better, I WON!

It's a great game for kids as it helps that they have to read the cards, strategize and plan.

Good skills to hone.

Stew did a little job for me this afternoon, one that has been on my 'to do' list for a very long time.  Amazingly, it only took him about half an hour to do, after all that waiting.  More on that tomorrow.

Well, although Stew did a little job for me today, it has been a relaxing day.  Just hanging out at home, enjoying company, watching telly and so on.

Now, I'm watching a gruesome programme about the Bali Bombing.

After that I'm off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
