….finally.
The Monster Zucchini
Look what I found lurking in the garden after our holiday.
Now this baby wasn’t even ready to pick when we left. Crazy how quickly it grew. And I think it might even be bigger than Jody’s monster, but I didn’t think to measure it so we’ll never know :-).
They are not so tasty when they are this big but the dogs don’t seem to mind. Lucky since they’ll be eating this big boy for quite a few nights.
Australia Day
It was very relaxed, lazy Australia Day in the Withnall household. With only having gotten back from holidays on Monday no-one was in the mood to do much.
We did, however, have a BBQ for lunch…
which featured damper…
Kevin had a steak, Amy & I a veggie patty.
The afternoon included a few odd jobs, like ironing, some computer time, some scrapbooking and finally a swim. Then Kevin had the great idea to turn the pumpkin cob he had bought into a cob loaf dip for dinner. This is basically a cheese sauce with creamed corn. Yum, yum, yum. An unusual, but delicious dinner.
Summer Holiday – Salamander Bay to Home
Sadly after a week away, it was time to pack up and head home. We set off about 10am and stopped for an early lunch at my favourite spot on the highway. Oliver’s. We always stop here when traveling past.
Amy and I shared a vegetarian korma, which was really yummy.
And I bought a lovely raspberry and white chocolate muffin – which I had later at home.
We had to laugh when Dad took a wrong turn and we had to park with all the big trucks.
We got home about 2.30pm to a big welcome from the pups. You could tell they were so thrilled to back inside during the day.
I have to say that I did miss this face….
and this one…
