Still in the kitchen

Yesterday was very hot - around 40 degrees.  No one was feeling very energetic.

  All the food is getting low and tomorrow everything one goes home.  Last night we had burritos (with chili kidney beans - some one said where's the meat but enjoyed the beans anyway) and all the trimmings - guacamole, corn, lettuce, cheese, bean salad, tomato, and sour cream!   Too hot to cook anything else.  At lunch time they had ham and cheese toasted sangers in the cast iron pans and salads.

Today as I said is the last day.  Again the group were up and out by 5.30 am to see what was in the buckets!

   Coles mucked up the order and left out 3 trays of steak and a roast (no use complaining - they didn't charge us and they are 5 hours drive away!!!)  so less meat so I thought of kebabs with marinated steak and mushroom, onion and capsicum.  Goes so much further when cut in cubes and on sticks.  I got splinters from the sticks.   Also had mince in freezer because the first night I had frozen meat sauce from the last group so I have made rissoles so we are having a barbie again tonight.

We had ripe bananas so another banana cake (with chocolate frosting)  and left over apples so apple crumble and using the left over muesli in the topping.  Also left over zucchinis so zucchini fritters.  Also roasting vegetables to put in a salad.  It has been a busy morning considering I started at 6.30 am!!!  It has been a good week and the cooking easier than I thought it would be. 

Today is much cooler than yesterday and very cloudy and a spot of rain a little while ago but I don't think it will register in the rain gauge.      The journey is nearly coming to an end (gosh that sounds like one of those reality TV shows).  Looking forward to getting closer to home.

I better go and create a salad or two as they will be coming in for lunch soon.   (Then time for a read and maybe a nap)!!!!
