    ... Um, yeh me too an easy one here

    Omelette - with diced ham, grated tasty cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, chopped chives & some cracked pepper .... Yummo !! .... Too easy

    Might make some " Little Lemon Tarts " for later ... If anyone wants the recipe here it is ;

    * Pkt of 12 pre-made pastry shells/cases (in cake section at Coles)
    * 1/3 cup caster sugar
    * 1/3 cup lemon juice (bottle lemon juice is fine)
    * 1/4 thickened cream (I use cheap Coles brand)
    * 3 eggs
    * 1 lemon (is fine without, if you don't have a lemon)

    - Preheat oven, moderate temp (I do 180c)
    - Whisk together caster sugar, lemon juice, cream & finely grated lemon rind of 1 lemon
    - Add 3 eggs, one at a time, ... Whisk all together !!
    - Pour into pastry shells (can use a 1 x medium size pasrty shell, no too big)
    - Bake 15-20mins until set (where it doesn't wobble much)

    ... Taste better chilled for at least an hour in the fridge after being baked !!!!!!!!!

    ENJOY !!!!!!!

    Nice one smiles4u - I have a whole bowl of lemons that I need to use, and my lemon tarts take too long to make - it uses a tradional custard and needs stirring for an hour or so.

    For dinner tonight: beef bourguignon, rice and green vegies.

    Tomorrow night - little lemon tarts for dessert...

    I'm making the beef & mushroom ragout slow cooker mix from Mc Cormicks

    Have added my own twist on it though (can't help adding extra stuff! ) - Have just added extra veggies, a bit of gravy stock, tomato paste, fresh garlic and extra herbs & spices

    Yum Yum... has already been cooking since 10.30am
