Hope youre having a good one!!!Observations on how to celebrate being australian on Australia Day in our house:
-There was talk over wearing a aussie flag as a super hero cape & getting drunk (to a american xbox360 friend... Yes having a xbox360 is a VERY CHEAP OPTION FOR LONG DISTANCE CALLS/CHATS!!! ($299 console + $60 headset. lasts until 1) kitten chews thru headset cord 2)you have no broadband 3)xbox360 dies) so far the boys have had a few drinks... (but it is still only 5.30pm-ish here as a type!!)
it would be polish imported vodka they are drinking too.. lol.. shame its not the aussie made & exported sake made by Sun Masamune *link*( they usually drink. Go shu nama, Go shu blue & go shu... with the expensive Go shu 40 only at special occassions!)
-Someone had vegemite?!?! I found it left out.. not sure if someone just wanted to smell the australian spirit? lol!!! As people had for breakfast: cheesy baked beans n toast (boys), fruitloops (tia) and lite PB on toast for me. :)
- Someone (no guess as to who eh!) had gone shopping and bought food! Coming back with the very australian.. wagon wheels, steak, white bread, frozen chips, some brand of salt n pepper squid and a box of beer battered flake... oh and the very cute finger buns in safeway today (4 for the same price of 1 at brumbys!!!!)
So Lunch was steak sandwiches with white bread (tom sauce for me, HP sauce for the boys :/ yuk!) With the yummy rice bran butter or is it marg?! gah.. anyways its on special this week @ safeway 2 for $6 (save $2) and the oil is on special too $2.78?
I finally got a calendar for this year!!! Its actually a 17month calendar but those extra 5 months have long gone! (last year) Ive been eyeing it off at officeworks... i saw alike ones in k-mart etc but after christmas and the sales all that are left are boring calendars.. altho i did see a slow cooker recipe a day calendar you know the little ones the size of a post-it on sale at myer but still $20-odd! :/ and of course the day i had $0! ah well... ;) one that got away! heheanyways my calendar was $14.. it has 5 spaces at each day, stickers and a pocket for ("reciepts, coupons etc... lol) ive noticed it has international holidays marked on it e.g martin luther king & a coming of age day in Japan..
anyways have a good one!

Oh it's a delight to log onto your blog and still see that most delightful pic of Alyssa! :D
Do you have the finger buns with butter? Jenna and Paul don't need butter/marg for that kind of thing.. but I insist on it! We also have the Rice Bran Oil spread..and the oil.. and the oil in a spray can.. I think I've told you yeah? Paul too. Have noticed the 'silver' one (as opposed to gold packaging)..being the 'Lite' version..but I haven't tried it as I note it has preservatives whereas the gold one doesn't.
I'm happy you got the calendar you wanted.. w00t!! ^^
May I ask the sigificance of the orange flowers? Are they yours in your house?
X-box and long distance calls? All news to me! And the cord was chewed through? How is Ana anyway? (Is she the one that has been unwell)?
Did you ever try the choc-orange wagon wheels when they were out? Jaffa flavoured? I really liked those..as did hubby.
And that's very interesting .. a slow cooker recipe calendar.. the size of post-it notes. I don't think I got around to doing a blog post about our little fridge calendar.. But maybe it was a YT vid instead? We have kittens everyday. But slow cooker recipes? Man.. I imagine there'd be some nasty one's out there. I found a recipe for a hash brown casserole (in a SLOW COOKER!!).. Yes you line the bottom of the cooker with frozen hash browns and pour over tins of 'cheese soup' and cream of chicken soup and other things.. lol.. ergghh!!
I'm yet to pick my slow cooker up (it's on layby).. I look forward to it. I found a good Aussie website with excellent s/c recipes.
Happy Australia Day to you!! ^^ Have a good week surviving the heat!
I got a gift for australia day (long story.) I went to a birthday party today, I guess thats how I celebrated.
