Apologies

Sorry for the missing blog entries over the past few days - real life just got in the way! Hubby worked all day Saturday. He was gone before 8am and arrived home around 5pm to a frazzled wife, a little boy missing his Dad and a very grumpy baby. What a great welcome, NOT. I planned to cook some fish and make fried rice to go with it but I should have learned my lesson by now. Usually I'm a pretty good cook (okay, maybe not the most modest comment...) but fried rice is absolutely beyond me. I cook the rice several hours ahead of time just like I'm supposed to, I check and re-check the instructions for cooking fried rice, I even follow all the instructions and I end up with a big gluggy bowl full of slop. It went so badly this time that I made Hubby swap tasks halfway through and I took over bathing Offspring #2 while he attempted to revive the rice. Upon my return to the kitchen he delivered the bad news. The fried rice was beyond all help LOL. We still ate it, #2 enjoyed throwing hers around the place and did manage to get some in her mouth, Hubby and I added lots of sweet chilli sauce and, because we added sauce, Offspring #1 added tomato sauce to his - I know it sounds revolting but I can tell you that it looks even worse! However he ate it all, declared it to be a yummy dinner and told me that I was a "bery good cooker".

Sunday was an all-day scrapbooking crop day for me. The kids got to spend some serious quality time with Hubby and I got to spend some serious scrapbooking time away from them all. Needless to say, we all had a great day. I got lots done but have some finishing bits and pieces to do then I'll share some pages.

Today has been a "lets find the floor" kind of day - lots of tidying and cleaning with a bit of playing and a friend dropping in for a cuppa this morning. So while not a really fun day it is a satisfying one.

Question Of The Day: What can you absolutey NOT cook?
