#dinnertonight - #chickenthighs are #defrosting in the sink covered with hot water, for a #mustard #cream #parmesan #chicken meal.

Hubby and my youngest son got me a #ricecooker for #mothersday - so I'm trying it out tonight (it has #oliveoil and #veggiestock mixed in 3 cups of #basmattirice just need to add water)!

On the stove top - #steamedbroccoli , back bowl - #corriander and #mushrooms . Front bowl - #chopped #leek #onions and #garlic (the chopped #vegetables will go with the chicken).

Baking tray - #honey and #dill #carrots (will bake these).

Anyone know what this is?

For the next 2 nights, I'm only #cooking for 4 (instead of 8 or 9) as my three boys are on a school camp and my eldest daughter (teacher) is also away at the girls camp 😁

So I picked up a #miniroast on sale, will bake some #pumkin with #dill and #garlic and have already #steamed the #brocoli and #cauliflower with which it has a #whitecheese #sauce on top.

#garlicbread is in the #aluminiumfoil

There's also a #gf #apple #tortecake for #dessert too 😁

Have any #leftovers in the #fridge ?

Turn plain #rice into #friedrice !

My bottom right #gasburner / #wokburner on my @smegaustralia #oven hasn't been working for many months now. (and it's been taking forever to boil large pots of water or fry anything on the smaller ones). I've had several people look at it, however only my hubby was able to work out it's problem.

So, while we wait for the part to arrive, I've only just started using our #camping #burner and it #worksatreat (only realising after the family went camping over the Easter break that I could have improvised) 🙄

Almost 12 months later , my eldest son has done it again. 🙄 On the 10th May 2021, we spent the whole afternoon at the Dr, then hospital waiting, followed by the following day for surgery on his right #pinkyfinger #littlefinger

Today - 30 May 2022 , after morning appointments with another son, only to be home for 1hr between dropping him back to school and having lunch), I then picked up my eldest 12.30pm, saw the GP, had an x-ray, (squeezed in an eye appointment inbetween appointments), and then went back to the Dr to be informed of another hospital visit on his left , little finger - #brokenfinger. (We got home around 4.30pm).

We are not going to the hospital this evening, as I'm not waiting in emergency for all hours of the night, to be told to go back tomorrow to the Bone Clinic.

Arrived at Dandenong #Hospital at 10am. Have bipassed the traiage waiting area and have already been moved along to another waiting room #emergencyclinic (it's now 10.20am).

I've set a timer on my phone, to move my car from the 2 hour parking zone. Hopefully we are seen to shortly.
