[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 364291, member: 1991"] Thanks, guys! We had a lovely day with easy child & SIL1. First easy child, husband & I went to a farmers market and bought up fresh food to cook for dinner. We also bought some sausages for lunch, but they cooked it and ate it while I slept (very tired, I need a lot of daytime naps). They left food for me though. Dinner - we'd bought a double rack of lamb (very cheap, but fresh from the grower himself) plus a lot of fresh vegetables. So we roasted the lamb (with a crust of seeded mustard and garlic, fresh rosemary & parsley from the kids' garden) in one tray, and in another huge dish we roasted all the root vegetables we had - kumara (orange sweet potato), carrots, pumpkin, kipfler potatoes and beetroot. Absolutely delicious! easy child had bought a small birthday cake. We brought it home along with a case of cooking tomatoes which I've been boiling up tonight. My favourite kind of birthday is one where I get to 'play' with the garden, and the kitchen. I also pruned a lot of roses in their garden (someone's got to do it!) and this morning before we left, I pruned the lavender. I have a pocket full of lavender flowers, the ones that were too old to put in a bunch that easy child now has hanging up to dry. It was cold in Canberra; quite a severe frost this morning. We'll be back there in early July, it will be even colder then. Thanks for all your good wishes. Marg [/QUOTE]
