Thumpity!

Yay! I'm all set-up. Computer's together, monitor's here, and the speakers are all plugged in. I tell ya what, you haven't lived until you've watched a dvd from bed with the bass turned up (and the sub-woofer under the bed). Yeah!

So I'm geeking it up big time. Even joined a rpg site (not the computer games, an online version of table-top). For the non-geeky amoung you (who read blogs - yeah, you keep telling youself you're not a geek *rolls eyes*) RPG stands for role playing game.

I cooked my kangaroo roasts. They were damned delicious, though the first was a little chewy. The secret to good roo is either cook it very fast very hot, or cool and slow. The second was better. I cooked it at 150 degrees until still red in the middle (it's kangaroo, and to do it well done is a crime.

Made some great roo sandwiches with what was left. One with mixed greens, mayo (the real stuff heathens - you know with eggs, etc, not miscellaneous...stuff). If you can't make it yourself (like me) at least buy the goods, seeded mustard, grape tomatoes (they're cheap at the moment, and taste soooo good), and the roo cut finely. The other sandwich was good too. Vege roasted under the grill (I used capsicum, spanish onion, and added some broccoli for the last few minutes). Sweet potato or pumpkin would have been good too if I'd had any.

Mmmm, might just go and have another sandwich now. Yum!

I love vegetarian food...

It goes great with steak.

What has Tamsyn been up to that's soooooooooo important that she's neglected her "blog" I hear you ask. Well, nothing really. Though in my defence my laptop blowing up probably didn't help (OK, so really, it just stopped working, but explosive computers sound cooler). Though admittedly I could have done some updates.

I've also moved house a couple of times (don't ask). But just in case you're one of those (most) people who need to know when someone says don't ask, the first place was great - just too far from work. The next place was in a great spot, really close to work, but... not so great. Whoever said "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" was a fool. Sharing can be great, but just check you're compatible with the 'horse' first. =)

Current place is great so far, both me and Milli (my cat) love it. Housemate's pretty cool too, though I must admit to a small amount of jealousy - Milli loves her just a little bit toooo much. When your cat neglects you and goes to your new housemate for love it's a little bit sad. =(

Good news is this infernal heatwave is nearing it's end (a record 15 days straight above 35 - that's around about the 100 mark for those coming to us from non-metric using countries (heathens).

Well, that's it for now. I feel a bit of a whinge coming on (cue melodramatic music about everyone having "somebody to love" but me), so I'd best sign off now. I swore never to have that kind of blog.

As far as recipes are concerned I'll let you know how things go with my kangaroo mini-roasts. I also want to get my flatmates vegetarian recipe for the stuff that's in the fridge (it has sweet corn, peas, chick-peas, and some kind of seedy, mini-sprout looking things). I think it'd go well with my kangaroo mini-roasts =).
