[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 147856, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/Wiped, I'm glad your weather is good. Enjoy it, you all had such an unpleasant winter. Dinner sounds good - I make my own pesto and grow my own basil, including lemon basil. BF2 is allergic to pine nuts, so I have to use cashews instead, in the pesto. tastes good, though! Jannie, I hope the technician can fix your oven for you. Have you ever noticed - we never seem to use the warming drawer for anything other than maybe storing oven trays? Sharon/LDM, your weekend sounds very relaxed. A wet day is a good day to veg out. Linda, I hope the IEP meeting for kt goes well. It's good that you're planning for high school already. They wouldn't let us do that before the last term of the previous year. Utterly stupid. We've still got another week of school holidays, but someone at the TV network goofed and the education programs are back on this week. Since difficult child 3 always watches them, he watched them today so I grabbed the chance to suggest he finally finish an English worksheet still outstanding. I bribed him - he was leafing through a favourite cookbook - cakes - so I said, "Let's get your English finished and then we'll make a cake." He wanted the really elaborate one, of course, but I managed to persuade him to make our family standby, a chocolate banana cake (I had some overripe bananas needing to be used up) and he chose to do it in three layers with a coffee butter-cream frosting. Because I was helping him (ie stopping him from going into full-blown panic, such as "Where's the milk? Where's THE MILK?" "Son, it's in the fridge, where it always is." "Oh.") I got him to help me prepare dinner - double rack of lamb with mustard and herb crust, and roast vegetables. So not only did he get some schoolwork done IN THE HOLIDAYS, he also got a cooking lesson. All in all, a productive way to spend a rainy, cold, autumn day! Tomorrow morning the op-shop is open and I need to be there - I'm desperate for a belt, ANY belt, that will hold my jeans up. I'm losing so much weight! Yahoo! Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
