1. The beginning of my Saunders Beach shell collection
2. the first batch of Australian chocolate chip cookies made in my teeny tiny gas oven---a little flatter than the American version but tasty!
3. Straw necked ibis and an Australian ibis out the back door
Just a few lines today---took a fantastic walk on the beach this morning---walking on sand is more of a workout so since I have been off for a few days I am going to have to work up to my usual walk! Whew! Saw several blokes fishing while I walked and picked up some shells (see the above picture for the start of my collection!).
Last night I made meatloaf --Chris has requested that I cook "normal food" after 2 months of restaurant froo froo eating so I am doing the basics! Today was the true test--the first batch of chocolate chip cookies. Now I know that does not sound like such a big deal but using a teeny tiny gas oven is a lot different than my electric ovens in the States but I did okay. I think we will do fine---at least I did not burn them!!! And they taste yummy even if they are a little flat---they are the chewy kind and I think Chris will be thrilled when he comes home tonight!! It doesn't take much but that was what he asked yesterday when he got home---did you make cookies??? LOL
So life continues and we are blessed!!! Chocolate chip cookies, walks on the beach and seashell collecting....what more could I want???
