19Feb22 Lentil patties with a quickly made garlic aioli and horseradish sauce for it. They turned out good, but it was quite a bit more work than I'd prefer. I still want to experiment with making other patties with lentils. I think they'd be ideal for lunches. I also liked the one lentil ball that I made from the same mixture. I think those were nice because it was just about two bites. Oh, and to keep me company there's my Mom (on the left) with my Aunt Viola on the right,...

10Feb23 My Pink Tigger! The pink is from my nightlight, which makes everything pink when it's bright when I first come to bed and it slowly fades to very dim through the night. But isn't GaliLEO so cute stretched out and about as conked out as you can get? #2023pad #catsofinstagram #pinkcat #sleepingcatsofinstagram

15Sep22 I bought a rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner and then a day or so later made some very nice chicken soup with the carcass and breast meat leftover. I cooked the noodles separately in some of the broth I took from the soup and then just put them in my bowl. There was a lot of chicken on that little bird! I still have the other breast, all shredded and ready for a couple meals in the future. Not bad - 5 meals out of a $10 hot chicken! #2022pad #cooking #cookingforone #chickensoup ...

09Feb22 A bit red and sweaty after a rowing session. I spent six consecutive days rowing in order to complete this year's Concept 2 Valentine's Day Challenge. And yes, I rowed more than 14,000 km and completed the challenge. #2022pad #rowing #darkhorserowing #homegymlife #keepmoving #iamadarkhorse #latergram #selfie #rowingselfie

7Jan22 My Christmas card from America came with an official NASA First Moon Landing stamp. Which I'm keeping. That was part of my childhood. #nasa #moonlanding #stamp

17Jan22 And here it is all built and ready for a ride - my new, much better fitting recumbent bike. If you know me and have an interest in my old recumbent bike get a hold of me. My preference is for a friend to have it to use. If I don't get any takers then I'll put it up for sale. #2022pad #recumbentbike #bike #homegymlife #keepmoving

05Feb22 Lunch with Shaun. Lunch group was cancelled because a member was in hospital so we were on our own this time. Years ago every six months or so Shaun and I would have lunch together and catch up on all the gossip. No gossip this time around because we talk more often. But it was nice to have a visit. He has new speakers in his ceiling so we watched a movie in the afternoon to test them out. My choice this time was the 2006 version of Pink Panther with Steve Martin. So I spent an ...

30Jan22 When I bought this bread, I just thought maybe there was garlic in the crust or something. Once I got it sliced, I realised that whole cloves of garlic were baked right into the loaf - see the small rectangular shaped hole? The facing slice of bread had a half clove there. This was so nice. And lucky for me it was half off - because I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay $6 for a loaf. But this would probably be worth it for a party or something. And apologies to my Coles Baker...

17Feb22 I had a nap and these two decided to have their naps with me. Those who've seen my other cats on my bed photos might notice ... today they decided to swap sides! The book I'm reading is "Your Head is a Houseboat" by Campbell Walker. It's a great book and I love the illustrations (also by Campbell Walker) @struthless69 #2022pad #catsofinstagram #tripodkitty #threeleggedcatsofinstagram

18Jan22 Oh ick. I am NOT showing you what the porch light looked like. Cleaning the porch and porch light were not my job and wasn't something I even thought about over the last 3yrs. Until it started looking like this. The blackness is from the dust and dirt across the road (where there's a large horse paddock). When the wind comes from that direction, even with the windows closed I get a film of dust and dirt over everything. And obviously cobwebs are not immune from it. So I ...
