Hey Ladies! Hope you are all well...

Not much to report here, just standard boring mummy stuff.... had a case of the tearys the other night (preggo hormones i think!) getting all sad that all i do all day is talk baby talk, and Nathan goes and 'has a break' at work all day, then comes home, gets to have all the frilly bits about parenting, the goos and gaas and kisses and smiles, then hes off to footy training twice a week from 5:30pm til 8pm...then away with footy all day Saturday....LUCKY HIM!! I WISH i could just come and go whenever i please... Oh well... not that I would change it for the world.. i LOVE watching my bubby grow up, and i too get the frilly bits...its just that it would be nice to have the freedom to do other stuff every so often...you know, like go and sit in the hairdressers for hours getting pampared like I did B4.... I know its silly...its not that I WOULD go out all the time...cos even if I could i would WANT to be a t home with my baby... just venting really.......eeeek...sorry !!!!

Mads - Awwwww poor little Freya I know its terrible... Georgia pulled herself up to stand the other day and head butted the corner of the desk... shes gunna have a nasty bruise... no blood thank goodness!!!!!!

okay, Celery soup:

2/3 bunch of celary, sliced (use the leaves too, full of vitamins..not all the leaves, just the nice tender ones)
1 Onion Chopped
1 Clove of Garlic (optional)
2/3 cup of rice
1 1/2 ltrs of chicken or vegie stock
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Fry onion and garlic in pot with small amount of olive oil
add stock, bring to boil
add celary and leaves and rice, bring to boil, then turn down to simmer for 45mins or until tender.

Remove 2/3 of soup from pot and blend until smooth, then ass back to remaining soup...

serve hot with fresh crusty bread and butter....

CHEAP AND TASTY AND SUPER SIMPLE!


And this is a good one for bubby;

Banana Pudding.

Mash one Banana in a bowl
Add 2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of plain flour (or rice flour)
and half cup of full cream milk

Mix well and pour into custard bowls (or a muffin tin) and sit the bowls or the muffin tin into a baking dish with water in it, (the water should come half way up the sides of the muffin tin or custard bowls and will stop the edges from burning).. Bake for 30mins at 180 degrees

Serve with yougurt

Makes 4 small bowls

Im making little mini quiche thingies with the same recipe but with vegies instead of banana, plus i will add cheese... its nice for something different for Georgia, and can be frozen easily too....i will let you know how they turn out.

Anywayz, chat soon ladies (and gents!)

love Carls xoxooxxx
