mmm food

Emily, David and I went to the Pako Festa today...the weather was a bit crazy..one minute it was nice and sunny...then it'd get all windy and it'd start spitting...then the sun would come out again..and so on and so on.
There was some great music... and 'Stringybark McDowell' (see clip above) was there right down near one of the pubs...so you could go and get a nice bevvy and come and sit outside and listen..one guy was enjoying himself so much he got up to dance around... I could have sat there awhile, but the kids thought it was quite boring...so it was time to move on.
Em and I had some Nasi Goreng for lunch at $6.50 in a cardboard noodle box...it was very filling and very yummy.. it was cooked in a huge wok see picture below... funny thing...2 years ago...in the very same place...probably the very same wok...we had a dish called paella with exactly the same ingredients in ... must have a google to see what the differnce is apart from them being spanish and indonesian.
Dave wasn't feeling very hungry and was complaining of a sore back...
Later we bought a big pretzel with cinnamon on it. for $4.. we weren't that wrapt in it...it was just like a thin twisty bread with cinnamon on it.. won't be buying another one....Also tried some Greek donuts... bleah... crunchy balls of dough dripping in grease (and honey ) I think
There was so many different foods to try and some of it free... like fruit and nuts...mmmmm
ohh and we also saw some of the actors from Home and Away....Emily was going to get in the queue until she saw the size of it.....later it was announced that the queue was really small and that if you got in it now...you'd still get to have your pic taken and get an auitograph.. so we raced down to the stage but by the time we got there...security had shut the gate..
We stood at the front ... Em and I took some pics..and later Jessica gave Em an autographed pic..
look it's pretty

ohh why did I tell them

I was looking @ the HIM website and saw that they are touring and coming to Australia in March...and I told Dave and Matt didn't I !!! stoooopid. !!
My fave song of theirs ATM is sweet pandemonium see youtube link above.
It needs to be played LOUD and if it's in the car...press repeat...press repeat....press repeat...but remember it has to be LOUD
The back room is looking good (see photo below) Mark and Mark have been very busy... I can hear Mark (grumpy) out there now sanding...he's got the night off.
oohh I went to a chefs toolbox party yesterday...and OMG I spent $220 on a saucepan...lol..but it is a good saucepan...well it's actually called a saute pan
At the party we had paela cooked in it...and it was fantastic.. it did not stick at all...and the food was yum too....lol....Grumpys and Marks reactions yesterday were priceless when I told them when I'd bought.
I'm sorty of thinking of maybe having a party.. ya wanna come??...
The boys had their school swimming carnival on Friday... I didn't even think about sunscreen...poor Eric now has a sunburned face...it looked like it was going to blister but it hasn't thankfully.
Em made cupcakes today and forgot to put sugar in them...but taste ok now with icing on them...but I did nick a few uniced ones to crumble over the top of the stew that I made with the left over roast lamb...mmmm yummo.

Gotta love your man

photo take by my sister (Chris)




Boy do I need to lose some weight... it just seems to be creepiing on constantly...it's getting crazy..so after talking to a friend yesterday who is doing the Cohens (sp) diet...she told me to chose 4-5 things that I need to do and stick to them.


so..

1. drink 2 litres of water a day (this is going to be hard 'cos I really don't drink much)

2. no carbs at tea time (again this will be hard...lurv potato and pasta and rice)
3. NO biscuits (can you hear me crying already)

4. No snacking after 8.30 pm

let's see how I go with this....and I must get back into walking I slacked off over Christmas



Reading the paper yesterday I had to laugh at the wankers that were caught speeding in a school zone...the excuses they used to explain their excessive speed...were like 'oh my cat just died' don't mind if I run over your kid while I'm trying to get home to my dead cat (not saying he shouldn't be upset about his cat at all)


'ohh I was talking on my hands free phone and didn't realize how fast I was going' speeding is speeding ..regardless of what else you were doing...oohhh what about this excuse.... I farted and got an extra boost of speed, sorta like turbo so I couldn't help but go that fast.


'there were no kids on the road, so I should be let off'' ha ha ha.... that is so lame.


There should be more police patrols/speed cameras around the schools both at the begining of the day and the end ... that might slow some of these dicks down.
