It’s been awhile! I did promise quinoa four-ways in my last post but I’ve only made quinoa two-ways for now, haha. Will that do?
Avocado quinoa salad, added in some ham for my meaty-mouth. Recipe from here.
Spaghetti clams! I made it for dinner last night and it was sooooo good. I used the recipe from Jeana Sohn’s blog which I found through Dawn. Jeana’s blog is pretty dang aweeeesome!
I’m pushing it a little with Ben, with all this quinoa. It was quite funny when he ignored the quinoa for lunch today. Maaaybe, just one more recipe and then I’m OK to hang up my quinoa.
I have a roll of film to pick up tomorrow, first roll shot on my Nikon FM10, I pray it turns out decent!
I am a happy pea right now cos I finished some work and actually really really like the way it’s looking. So I am rewarding myself… with a post. It has come to that, eeep.
I have all these recipes for quinoa open in my tabs and I am gonna get my cooking-ass-act together cos I bought that packet of quinoa early September and it’s now, October! Quinoa four ways, coming right up.
Beans, beef fajitas, guac, salsa, fillings, everything – I almost lost my mind before the party started!
(Shal, were you posing for the camera here? WIN face!)
Sarah!
Mel and her, tongue!
Tower of rainbow madness was made by dearest ovenhaven!
And the game of charades begin! First we split into two groups and come up with the words.
Sherms making a face despite being on the winning team??!!
At the end of Charades, we all find out how nonchalantly good Miss Nabbycat is at guessing. Lady in the blue dress, that is. She, like, guesses EVERYTHING! Even the ridiculous ones, she gets them.
And if all these photos aren’t enough, haha, you can check out this video that Sarah made of the party. Actually, please check it out because it’s so so good! She called me one night to tell me it was up on her blog and I was all, grumpy doing my work, grunting at her. Next minute, I called her back squealinggggg!
Random but it’s my mom’s birthday today!
{Thank you Caili for photos! I stole some from you, Celeste! And boobyhug, Sarah for the video!}
Boy oh boy do I have a problem with my memory! It’s deteriorating. Fast. Age is catching up. And fast. So what I forgot about was to share Adeline’s Photographic Diary, this entry is on ink or tattoos. My small tattoos made it on there together with Liz and Diana’s massive sleeves! Was super stoked to be included. Plus Adeline’s recently banged out a new neat layout which was done by Katrina and well, short story short, I’m pretty much in love with how tight this blogging community is.
So from tattoos to food, here we go with food on film #2.
penne with pork sausage (minced up) & kenyan green beans, in a chicken broth sauce (I followed a recipe for the sauce but switched up the greens). It’s nice change from the usual tomato/cream base and Ben was very quick to say he liked it (yay for me)! If you’d like the recipe, I’d be happy to scan a copy.
breakfast of zucchini and avocado on wholemeal toast
clear-the-fridge-and-throw-it-all-in fried rice for lunch
I rarely snack on chocolate but the new packaging gave me a reason to put it in the basket. It’s boxy and nice to hold now.
How’s everyone’s weekend going? I’m desk-bound and working on more twigs, watching the new season of Project Runway and hopefully, eat some ice cream tomorrow.
Sarahs-loft that is! I can’t believe I forgot about these pictures. This was… early July. She invited some of us over for home-style pizzas! There, I got to meet her ridiculously obedient mini kewt! toy poodle, Momo.
Starving wagging tongues were first fed a cream-based seafood pizza
Followed by this! Prosciutto or parma ham, I forget but oohahh together with spinach and all that cheese.
I’m torturing myself, I’m hungry sleepy but surprisingly, not grumpy. Anyway the pizza lady is waltzing around Melbourne right now and for many more days! Come home soon!
