Welcome to Litsy!

Another tasty DELICIOUS TONIGHT recipe that isn‘t remotely the same colour as the example picture. Oh well. The lentils in this soup cooked down beautifully and the overall flavour is great—which is a relief, because the recipe made a TON of it. That‘s my supper sorted through the weekend.

Gotta say, I've wanted to read this for months and I almost bailed... The grown up part of me was shocked by the transient and neglectful lives, the use of drugs and apathy to do much. But remembering the era and the youth made me re consider. I particularly liked the last 50 pages or so as it felt she was accepting herself and her friends.

Last night‘s scores from the Book Swap on my way home from pole dancing. I love a good magazine.

Another recipe with a pretty serious filter on the example photo. Even with Litsy‘s food filter, this soup is way more brown than gold. Maybe Australian creamed corn really is yellow enough to overcome the brownish broth you mix with brown sauce?

It‘s pretty tasty, at least. She cites it as a Chinese restaurant staple, but I‘ve never had it before or noticed it on a menu around here, and I HAUNT my top restaurant‘s menu. A regional thing, maybe?

Before op shopping today I had a peak in the Little Free Library and scored these. 36 degrees in Dubbo today and I loved every bit of it. I‘m staying with my nan at the moment. This is one of her spare rooms. She took her car to be serviced so this is how I filled in time. We spent the morning running errands as she is hard of hearing and less mobile so needs more help nowadays. We had a delicious pub lunch. She was buggered at the end of the day.

The library made me return my favourite cookbook (so rude), so I turned to my mum‘s favourite online chef for inspiration tonight. I once again suspect Nagi Maehashi used a filter to get the colours in her book‘s photo, but my Korean barbecue chicken thighs were delicious even if they weren‘t as gleaming red as hers. (They WERE slightly redder before I sliced them up and tossed them with rice.) I‘d make ‘em again.

Was 🏡 for the hols but leaving 2morrow. Went 2 Salvos with mum 2day. She found me the linen tea towel (a steal at $2) of my fav country & godson & I scored some $1 📚! Lots of dvds to watch over the school holidays plus some crafty projects. The 👖 are Uniqlo for $6 & perfect 4 work. They‘ve functional pockets! There r some travel sized toiletries 4 my waterskiing trip in a wk or so & 1 can never have enough tea strainers. Total🟰 $34.40.
