Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Day 267 in a Year of my Life

Firstly, because I know she will read this tomorrow (well, I guess, since it's after midnight, officially it's today) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBLES.  I hope your day is amazing!

All I have to share with you tonight is a couple of photos of our delicious dinner, the recipe for which, I found on facebook!  Who knew facebook could be so useful for something other than wasting time and procrastinating!

I added a layer of eggplant as well.  I also added chilli to the tomato sauce mix.

Adoring Husband and I weren't keen on the top layer of Ricotta cheese and egg.  It was a bit bland.  I would probably add some feta cheese to the mix next time and maybe even toss in some of the chopped toasted walnuts that I keep in the cupboard.



As you can tell by the caption in one of the photos, we served it with roasted duck breast and roasted red capsicum.  It was quite delicious!  We'll have it again.  Apparently, the vegetables used, are good to boost the immune system.

It's heading close to 1am again.  I really should work on this blog during the day, instead of stupid o'clock at night!

Today I am grateful for cold wet Winter days that are good for curling up on the couch and watching dvds with Adoring Husband.

Nite all.
