What a hottie!

Wow! Today was amazing. I was working outside and it was not at all enjoyable. The bath I had when I got home was though. I nearly went to the beach too (woohoo, I am now 1 minutes walk from the beach rather than 2 hours drive), but I think I'll save that for tomorrow after work. You see Saturday is actually my Friday - so it's not yet the end of the week for me =( - that said the overtime is about the only thing keeping my pay packet looking reasonable so I shouldn't complain... too much... meh, I'm sort of in a wingey mood so I think I'll leave all that drivel in.

I just had a nice dinner, and thought I'd let you know what it was so you can make it yourselves. I roasted some onion with golden syrup, and added it to a green leafy salad (rocket's ideal because of the strong flavours). I also cooked up a lamb chop and added some parmesan cheese to the salad and stirred it through with a little basalmic vinegar and olive oil. Yum!

Enjoy your days off tomorrow, while I slave over some hot plants. I'll laugh at you all on Monday =p

Burn baby burn!

Just a tip. Leaving a pan with oil in it on the heat too long is a bad thing. A very bad, and flaming thing. Putting it under the tap because you can't find the tea-towel to put over it, is even worse. =S

That said tonight's steak came up a treat! Pepper steak and salad for tea tonight. Pepper steak is easy enough. I just rub the steak with cracked black pepper and a chilli/garlic/salt mix I get from the supermarket. Yes it's cheating, no I don't care =). I cook it till it's done (ish - I like my meat to be red still).

Voila! That just leaves the salad. I was feeling lazy today so it's just iceberg lettuce and some of the baby spinach / rocket mix I have in the fridge and a dressing I had pre-prepared. From memory / taste it had apple cider vinegar, a little basalmic, some seeded mustard, extra virgin (mmm, tasty =p) olive oil, and a little honey.
