[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 126074, member: 1991"] G'day Linda (and those to follow). That sounds like a delicious meal you have planned. And those temperatures - absolutely amazing. When we were caught in the snow in New Zealand, it was far warmer (it was only a few degrees below zero Celsius - would have been just below 30 F) and we were too nervous to drive into the shops down the road to have a meal or buy supplies, we just made do with what we could scrape together. How nervous were we? Again we had cool autumn winds this morning, which eased off to a sunny, warm day. I did suggest going to the beach, but difficult child 3 was too busy playing computer games with difficult child 1 and instead I got some errands done and helped husband burn some windfall timber in our pizza oven. And because we aren't permitted to incinerate, instead difficult child 3 & I tasted marshmallows and made damper, which we wrapped round some thick sticks and baked. We then pulled off the damper twists (shaped like tubes) and filled them with butter and "cocky's joy" or Golden Syrup, a kind of light molasses that is a by-product of cane sugar production. Very Australian. It has a sort of toasted butterscotch flavour, very distinctive. Sweeter than maple syrup, less of a burnt taste (although I like REAL maple syrup). (by the way - "cocky" in "cocky's joy" is NOT referring to cockatoos, it was an old term for a struggling farmer). Tomorrow morning I'm taking mother in law out early to have some blood tests done. I have a few things I need to get, if I can I'll see the GP to get some paperwork done. Call the hospital and book the biopsy, do some urgent shopping for food supplies, then get home fast to see how difficult child 3 is doing with his work. Tomorrow is a good day for this - more rain is forecast and it won't take much for the road to flood again and make it a VERY long trip. So early to bed (hopefully) and a productive day tomorrow (hopefully). Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
