Hello!
I hope everyone’s weekend has started splendidly!
We are having a lovely time catching up with friends, David and Ruth who are staying with us this week!
David was my business partner in Canberra when we had the shop and it has been great finally seeing them in Tassie, showing them around and generally catching up on stories and events.
David has been teaching me a few things in the kitchen which is awesome (now I know what to do with rhubarb!!! 😀 😀 )
The weather has been a bit off and on but mostly we have been lucky when wanting to walk or be outside.
Right now its storming away out there with bursts of extremely heavy rain.
It was a beautiful afternoon so we got to do a lap of Anniversary Bay.
I really have to get back out there into some regular hiking. Struggled a bit on the hills today!! (too many hamburgers?) I have a month before being due to start out on my Overland Trek. (Jeff is due to start Monday!!! )
That little stretch of track!! Feels like its straight up!!
Back home Ruth and David got into an area in the garden and did a sensational weeding job! Ruth stayed on out there until dusk while David came back in to make a bread and butter pudding – I did some side dishes and Jeff BBQed up the steaks on our new BBQ that we put together this morning! (Slacking on photos of all garden & BBQ stuff… maybe tomorrow?)
Time for me to toddle off to bed – everyone else is well and truly snoozing!
Have a great day!
Cheers!
Lisa, you didn’t know what to do with rhubarb? Oh my goodness! Mavis has some simply wonderful recipes canning and baking using rhubarb. My all time fav is a dish I learned when living in Maine. Rhubarb roly-poly. Make a sweet backing powder dough [not yeast], roll out into rectangle, spread with sliced sugared rhubarb. Roll up short ways and place in bread pan to bake. Serve sliced with lots of the juices poured over. Ice cream or cream as a topping is fantastic. Worth being a “dinner-winner,” a term from my childhood if dessert was expected.
lol! I know!!! I just haven’t taken the time to do ‘different’ and just been taken up with other things that were what I knew!
The roly poly sounds a bit divine!!!
Love the pea pod salute in the last photo!
lol! Just a few persist in blooming which is nice!
