Belated Christmas greetings Vicki!

The Blue Mountains are really so beautiful.
Glad the forest fires did not do lasting damage.

Sorry I was not able to get on zoom with you.
Had kitchen adventures on Christmas: there was a short circuit
whilst guests were seated, and the moussaka was in the oven.

After the lights and air-conditioning came back on, the lights in the oven
came back on but not the heating element!!

So the miso cod/salmon and the moussaka had a turn in the air fryer
instead.
In the midst of all that, I forgot the time...but am glad that you managed
to see/speak to a few others.

Hi folks,

Well Christmas was a bit of a non-event for Dohn and me, though we had a
nice enough day.

We had pancakes for breakfast. (Not pretty, but very tasty! The ‘plain’
one actually had butter, stevia, cinnamon and lemon juice – mmm!)

Then I prepared coleslaw for our lunch on the road to the Blue Mountains.
The pic isn’t anything to write home about but I do adore making my own
mayo. 30 secs in the stick blender in the jar in which it’ll be stored –
done!

I also pan-fried some spice-coated chicken breasts and we had coleslaw,
baby spinach and cold chicken under a big tree in a charming town called
Black Springs.

At about 4pm we arrived at our cute little cottage that is so gorgeously
decked out. So many thoughtful little touches, right down to an umbrella!
The kitchen is stocked with quality pots and pans, knife block, casserole
dishes, dip dishes, serving platters, plastics, cling wrap, baking paper
and sandwich bags, even a salad spinner. And all the staples, including
organic olive oil and apple cider vinegar.

And resident pig haha!

And for those who joined in on the Zoom calls, I was sitting in the chair
on the right. 🙂

We didn’t have dinner… but that’s okay. We’re usually good with one meal a
day these days. The fridge and freezer are packed with meals from home so
shouldn’t need to eat out too much while we’re here too.

I hope you all had a lovely day!

Vicki. :-)
