I love being Australian, and even more so, i love having a day off! Granted i'm not even working properly, but hey, if the rest of the country is having the day off, why should i study??
Sleep-in, run at the beach - with the shark siren at Maroubra (rather exciting, but didn't see any action), and Laser skirmish (felt like i was 15 again) filled the day.
Then of course, a big delicious dinner whilst watching the tennis at my place with the girls (and 1 boy)!
On the menu (from left to right, links attached if you want the recipe):
Poached chicken, Roasted Leek, and Truss tomato with Quinoa Salad (top)Green beans & Avocado Vinaigrette Salad (bottom)
Kangaroo & Red Peppers salad
Pilau: Spiced rice with cinnamon and cardamon
For dessert, Li en made a delicious pavlova with home-made meringue swirls - very Australian! I also hand-beat cream until it was almost clotted - strange. But oh well, you can't tell and it still tastes good!
you're such a brilliant cook tina! thanks so much for all the yummy food :)
