There Are Some Things Money Can’t Buy

31. July 2008, 10:11 pmfrugality & moneylightening

We’ve just walked in the door from football/netball training and the smells that assailed us were absolutely divine!!!

I’ve been busy in the kitchen today.

First up, two practise batches of M&M cookies. I’m planning to make some for a fundraising opportunity coming up and wanted to decide which recipe.

I then made some pastie slice.

Then before we went out, I put some of our homegrown Jap pumpkin into the crockpot in preparation for pumpkin soup.

So the aroma’s as we came in the back door were a mixture of sweet and savoury. It was such a warm way to be welcomed home and reminded me that there are some things that money simply cannot buy.

I’m just having some of the soup now and it is DELICIOUS!!!! Even if I do say so myself. Smile No two batches of my soup taste the same so it can be a lucky dip at times.

I’m off tomorrow (Friday here) for a doctor’s appointment at which time I guess we’ll be making some kind of decision about my med reductions. The past couple of week’s have been a little bit rocky in terms of withdrawal symptoms (which was disappointing after what looked like a good start to this particular reduction). But things have started to improve in the past day or two so I’m feeling a little more positive than I was. Will keep you posted when I get back.

    Let me know what recipe you decide to use. M&M cookies are Scott’s favourtie, I have just used a choc chip recipe in the past and substituted M&M’s for choc chips.

    Good luck today. Hope you get some positive direction. Great work at training last night. That pass is really improving.

    I love that every time I put something in the slow cooker and go out, I come home and sniff and it’s like “Someone’s having something yummy tonight… wait! That’s me! Woohoo!”

    Hope the appointment today goes well - it sounds like things are definitely looking up!

    Hey I can smell the pasty slice from here! Are you willing to share your recipe chief chef?

    Pray you had a safe trip to the Dr as we had hail storms and high winds this morning. It was scary.

    Oooh! Pasty slice. There’s something I haven’t made since the kids were all at home. (checks fridge….need a swede, a celery stick, got everything else. Right. Pasty slice tomorrow.) I’m not a fan of M&M cookies. I prefer my M&M’s unadulterated.
    Good luck with the doctor. I was supposed to go today, but I chickened out. I’ll go next week.
