Welcome to Litsy!

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

Today‘s Book Nook scores to entertain myself over my quiet Easter weekend. Yin yoga this morning really helped with my dicky hip. I need to get myself sorted as I got myself a showgirl gig. It may just be the greatest achievement of my life! The Angelica Banks and Judy Blume are for my book crazy niece. I could have filled another bag but it may not have been a good look. Libraries are the best invention ever. Medicine is great but books are fab.

I‘ve read a little bit of Oodgeroo‘s poetry before, but I didn‘t realise how funny she is.

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.
