In the kitchen again

Myrtle is all healthy again after her service at Perenjori.  They treated her well and now no squealing belts.  They fixed blown light globes and fixed my window washer that I knocked off when at a car wash in Katherine!     She is all ready for the trip home.
A new group of willing research volunteers arrived on Wednesday night.  Twelve people to cook for this time.  A lovely group from BHP who work in various places in WA.     The food arrives from Perth with the participants so it was busy with unpacking and preparing food and finding room for everything.  Especially their refreshments along with food in fridges.   Another batch of Anzac biscuits went down quickly as well.

 Last night we had a bbq at Stinking Roger's Social Club (the outdoor bbq area).  We had sausages and I made rissoles and did bombay potatoes along with bean salad and spinach, pear and parmesan salad!    Then we had banana cake that I made for Joe's birthday (one of the researchers).   An enjoyable evening but not too late as they all had to leave at 5.30 am this morning to check the traps before it gets to warm and bright.   I made apple, pear and choc muffins yesterday too and it so nice with the new oven.  The old oven I had to slam the door to get it to close and would crank it up and it would still take forever to cook something.  So loving the new stove.

I am reading an interesting book at the moment  Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.  He has written a few books - another one I have read bits of is "Outliers".  

I was up early this morning and have cleaned up in the kitchen and now ready for a walk before it warms up.
