Aussie bento

Since last night was soo busy (in the kitchen!) I only made a bento from what was on hand.

Menu: sliced steak, potato salad and mordern Australian salad. Dressing in seperate container.



The mission for pie concluded with Landrin's help <3 he was my kitchen prince as he rode to the rescue for the pie~ he got the pastary sorted and on top to the filling placed slice strawberries to make the pie more attractive. Not to be happy with just that he lattaced the lid and got them in the oven baking!






Since two pies where made one was for the big dinner Tuesday night and the other was split in halves and taken into repective work places.

So what kept me busy? Preparing a dinner for 8-10 people, for a night when I have volleyball and not at my own place! So everything needed to be easy to prepare on the night and if not complete before... So I made grandma's easy potato salad, a mordern Australian salad (which I roasted the pumpkin and croutons myself) and three quarters prepared turkey balls in salsa sauce (just needed to be heated in the oven, the final stage). Which does not sound like a lot but it all adds up when you like to do as much as possible from scratch!

I had not time and everything was not finalised but I shall post photos tonight before everything goes no the table. Though my lunch is a preview ;-)

Then somehow I found time to watch Signs (never seen before) which was interesting, and defeat the second gym boss and finalised my party for the next leg of adventure!

Mmm cherry pie

Thanks to a guildie on WOW who made an awesome starwberry pie, this weekend I wanted to bake a pie! Good thing is on my mother-in-laws property there is an Australian native cherry tree, ripe and ready for pie making! These cherries are more tart then normal cherries.

So now the cherries have been collected, this took me doing some bush bashing and fighting green ants and even a spider or two! And this does not include the scary leaves and bush that was propably hiding a lot more!

I am thinking I need to let them mature for another day and find a recipe now~ more tomorrow
