Becs: Tom yum has been on my menu quite a bit lately. I was inspired after reading this recipe. On first glance it does seem like you need lots of bits and pieces, but one trip to the Asian grocery and you have everything you need, most of which can be stowed away in the cupboard, fridge or freezer for next time you have a craving for Thai. I like to add either some raw prawns or chicken, and (unconventionally) fresh noodles and lots of green veges like broccoli, for a filling, vege laden dinner in just minutes. The chilli hit is ideal for winter colds. Tom yum is also a great vehicle to use the kaffir lime leaves my 5 year old tree has been busy growing over the years and that scarcely get used...
We think this snug new strawberry hat of Daisy's is pretty cute. Nanny bought it for her from a stall at the Sunday Artisan Market. The clever creator not only handknitted it but also spun and dyed the wool herself...how this is possible for the grand sum of $25 I have no idea but it will do good job of keeping her little head cosy in these cold winter months.
Miriam: These Vita-Weat Lunch Slices are actually a favourite thing of Mike's. He refers to these as his 'man crackers' due to their gigantic size and thickness. While I'm not a big fan myself, Mike loves them as they can satisfy his after work but too early for dinner hunger.
