That's Life- 2014. : Ricotta
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/08/ricotta.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. Sorry about the rubbish picture, but I snapped it quickly before it all got eaten. I have bought ricotta cheese in the past for various recipes, and thought it wasn't particularly cheap. So, I googled it, and, lo and behold, there's hardly anything to it! The other part of the picture is a bowl of cheese crackers. Again, easy to make, and crisp and tasty to have with the ricotta. Always good for an easy snack. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

That's Life- 2014. : Mother's Day Eve!
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/05/mothers-day-eve.html
Sunday, May 11, 2014. Summie popped over yesterday afternoon. It was so lovely to see her back to a more healthy state. We had a lovely chat, and, as usual, she brought me a wonderful mother's day present. Thank you so much Summie, it was really appreciated. I got Jim to take some photos, so here is one with the flash. The first was without. Needless to say, one of the photos he took came out all blurry! This seems to be a speciality of his. Maybe it's excitement! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

That's Life- 2014. : 45 and counting!!
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/06/45-and-counting.html
Friday, June 6, 2014. Well folks.the look says it all! Jim is thinking "can it really be our 45th anniversary? Seems more like 100"! So here we are. D-Day, 6th June, 2014, and 45 years ago we were nervously waiting in the Sydney registry office. The wind was bitter, it was wet, and I had the worst head cold you can imagine. Still, they do say that the first 45 years are the worst.in that case, bring on the next 45! As if we shall see that! I have to say.what a likely-looking pair! View my complete profile.

That's Life- 2014. : Along the Sylvan Road
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/05/along-sylvan-road.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. Along the Sylvan Road. We were driving towards Lilydale the other day. It was a beautiful sunny morning, but after a very cold night, there was mist everywhere. Looking across to the hills from the front of Tesselaars, this is the view. The hills floating above the mist. It turned out a cracker of a day. Needless to say.no camera in the car, so this is from my phone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Emerald, Victoria, Australia. View my complete profile. Pond Feb. 2010.

That's Life- 2014. : Cutting pinching
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/05/cutting-pinching.html
Sunday, May 11, 2014. This is a plant we spied when we stopped for breakfast at Seymour MacDonald's. We were on our way to Albury, and saw this plant in the car park. We always keep a plastic container with wet paper towel in, for just this occasion. So we put a few sprigs in the jar, and when we got home, Jim potted up several cuttings. So we shall see how they turn out. Don't know what it is! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Emerald, Victoria, Australia. View my complete profile. Pond Feb. 2010.

That's Life- 2014. : Cinnamon Buns
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/05/cinnamon-buns.html
Sunday, May 25, 2014. Latest attempt at Cinnamon buns. So here is my latest attempt. Found the recipe in The Guardian, through a link from the "Down to earth" blog. I have a recipe already, but gave this a try. I must say they look OK, but haven't tasted them yet. When I was trying to knead the dough, they warn that it is a bit wet! Makes the house smell nice though! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Emerald, Victoria, Australia. View my complete profile. No Knead Dutch Oven Crusty Bread.

That's Life- 2014. : Renovations
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/10/renovations.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Here he is.the painter.amongst other things! We are getting the side entrance fixed up after all the leaks. We had the paint a while ago, so this is early stages. I did all the masking tape work, and the cleaning up.all the dull jobs, and now it is a question of "little by little" as we can't go at it like a bull at a gate.as we would have done years ago. Today is the first day of him wearing the pain patches, so we shall see how he ends up.Probably too early to tell yet.

That's Life- 2014. : A day disappeared
http://valtorrance.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-day-disappeared.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2014. So here I am.it's nearly 4 pm, and I have spent nearly all day on my laptop! I finally bit the bullet and bought a copy of Windows 7. Of course, Angus had to do all the installation work, but now I am trying to get order out of chaos! I thought I had downloaded everything of importance onto my external hard drive, but inevitably there were glitches, and things I hadn't foreseen! However, I have made progress.of a sort!
