The Tuesday with cooking class

 Hi,

Highlight of the working day might have been the lunch visit to Machete with Juliet and Barb as a part of the scone assessment programme.  Machete held its own - as I knew it would.

What a great way to finish the day.  Headed home with Mike - he cooked tea for us.  And then we headed to WHS to get started on the dal cooking night.

Machete with Juliet and Barb

We made 4 different dal dishes and some yummy dal fritter things.  Our fritters didn't work because our pan didn't get hot enough.  But the fritter batter was so yummy I just know the fritters would have been awesome.

Spices

Curry leaves and chillies

Cooking in action

Scrumptious cooking

Headed home via the supermarket to stock up on cat food for the long weekend.  Ange and Sally are taking turns to see the cats.

Yay.

Finish work today.  Go home and pack.  Go to sleep.  Wake at 12.30am and head to the ferry.  Sleep in the queue.  Sleep on the ferry.  Wake up in Picton and have brekkie with Iona and Col and then head south.

I am excited to see SH1 north of Kaikoura.  I haven't been there since the earthquake changed that landscape.

Also happy to see Iona and Col and Toby and Tessa and everyone.  :-)  And have some time off work.

Woot.

Have a good Easter.

Love,

Angela
