Tuesday and then Wednesday

Tuesday I quilted till the last possible moment, then the Grandies arrived with Mum, just for a little game and hello. Great time had and a toy taken home. YAY!!!!!!!, half an inch free in the toy box. Darling arrived home as they were leaving. Then time to rush into the kitchen. Made dinner then back to the quilting grind..............did the same today..............yay!! ............so pleased with what was accomplished.

Tuesday dinner was veal steaks, thinly sliced and quickly pan fried, then a tomato sauce spooned over and a soft fetta cheese just sprinkled on top, the potatoes were steamed and rolled in an olive oil, butter, oregano & parsley sauce, some nice fresh steamed beans and a medley of yellow squash, mushrooms, spanish onion with a little garlic, pan fried in a non stick pan with a minimum of olive oil.

Tonight, (Wednesday) I was feeling a bit short on energy,
remembered this packet of Cous-cous, recommended by the New Bride, dug it out of the freezer ( am I the only one who keeps this sort of thing in the freezer? or is it just a tropical thing? cannot bear opening up a box/packet to find ........wild life!) anyway, pan fried some spanish onion, garlic, zucchini and beans, added it to the aforementioned "Spice Sensation" cous-cous, while it sat and absorbed the stock and flavours of the vegetables I butterflied 2 pork fillets, heavily rubbed with a Morroccan Spice Mix and gave it a quickish pan fry, plated the result and we did enjoy. An improvement would be another side dish of vegetables and maybe a yoghurt based spicy sauce for the pork.

But for an evening meal following a day of hard yakka, it kind of filled the bill.
And the reason for all this activity?
A signature block swap, due soon, had to be done and posted and this is what all the fuss is about.
Thirteen separate little "Ginger Jar" blocks, to be posted out to fellow swappers, what will I get in return? I guess time will tell.
