Weekend Snapshots

Some snapshots from the weekend that passed too quickly!

Breakfast lemonade... From lemons freshly picked from the garden, honey and sugar leaves from the herb patch







Lunch was grilled george whiting. This is the bbq pack presented to the Man of the House who is responsible for the barbie (pun intended hehehe). Contents: apron with tongs, salt and pepper, fish, canola spray and ofcourse something to drink!







Saturday night in, by the fire. It was awesome.






Dinner was baked stuffed squid. The stuffing was made with basmati rice, minced onion and fennel. This was placed in the cavity of the squid and immersed into an aromatic concoction of herbs, red wine and crushed tinned tomatoes. Baked for an hour or so at 170C.






And another night time scene - at (obviously) the favorite spot lately (which is in the front garden). Freesias are fabulous - i think they are very elegant. The small plants on the left pot are sage and rosemary cuttings - they have been there for a couple of weeks so hopefully they have developed roots by now! They still look alive so it is pretty promising. At the right side, not very visible, is mint.






Anyway, that was just a quick post - off for a night cap! Hope you had a good weekend too!
