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!!

Cake

The Banana and Walnut Cake that I made for the boys yesterday ...



They were very excited to receive a quarter of the cake each this morning and were looking forward to going home to enjoy it with a cup of tea.

The muesli that I make for Adoring Husband ...


I would share the recipe with you, but there is no recipe and I make if a different way every time .. which I do with quite a few of my recipes.

This is why it always tastes different .. luckily, Adoring Husband has liked all of the batches that I've made so far.  He liked the last batch so much, that he ate 16 days worth of muesli in just 5 days!!

I currently have a giant pot of bone broth simmering away on the stove.

I used the slow cooker last time, which was great, but it doesn't hold enough liquid.  I'm using the stove top this time, with a much bigger pot, so there should be twice as much broth by the end of the process.

Dinner tonight, was Slow Cooked Pork Belly with Potato/Sweet Potato Bake and Apple Cabbage.

I had big plans to groom the Psychotic dogs today, but the kitchen took my attention, yet again, so let's try to fulfil that doggy plan tomorrow instead!

I think I'll try for another early night tonight, and then attempt a sunrise, or at least an early morning ride with my camera, in the nice morning light.

Nite all.
