A little more from CullenofAdelaid when not in the fray. A tragic on two levels: Gardening and Cooking, with welcome interruptions from family and the wonder that is the world and its people.

Sewing again: Thanks Mum.
Dead mum's sewing machine. I've had these shorts with a hole in the pocket for about 3 years. Now that Mum's sewing machine is back in service I have been able to provide my own tight arse solutions to some of my everyday problems.
Thanks Mum.

Mum's sewing machine got I workout
Mum died over 2 years ago and in the wash up I got her sewing machine. I was pretty good at it when I was young but never really had any need for it. Skydiving however makes fools of us all.
And before I go on this overseas trip my weight belt needed to be compartmentalised. I had the tools and I thought I had the talent. So I got the job done.
It was a nice job to do -for a number of reasons.

Yet another skill
A good friend got me some oysters and I have never really spent time learning how to open oysters. 6 oysters in and I am starting to get it.

What _is_ yummy pasta?
Did you ever cook a dish that made you just want to cry. I think I might just have done exactly that.
We call it yummy pasta but it really is just a white sauce with ham and it's perfect for after Christmas. So I fried the hammer chose to use fresh sage this time and strangely a jar of is a tablespoon of minced garlic from Woolies I let that all settle and then stayed in some semi dried tomatoes and anchovies. After that a can of Carnation milk light.
1/2 a cup of white wine before taking it off the heat and putting me Carnation milk in.
This is all looking pretty good. I think we had a win.
