The stupid New Years Resolution food list
Here is the laksa. I also made clafoutis but forgot to take a photo, and have made a cinnamon buns mark 5, which just gets better and better each time.
Hopefully cured duck breasts and the fondue suisse next, but holy crap - what a pain in the arse!! What was I thinking???

Pain - eventually
Ahem... where were we?
Step 3 = When doubled in size, punch down. Forget to take photo of this step. Curse.
Step 4 = Shape and leave to prove again. Feline audience optional.
Step 5 = Bake until cooked. Admire.
Step 6 = Wait as long as you can (usually 23 seconds) before slicing in.
Step 7 = Smother with sweet butter and homemade raspberry jam.
Step 8 = Apply to face.
Voila! Pain!

A loaf of bread - stage one
I am starting to feel my new year's resolution food list is becoming a millstone round my neck. But tripe was ticked off last week, and now bread! Which is currently proving, but I am going to be bold and say it will be ticked off by the end of today.
Step 1 = Make dough, using flour, yeast, water, salt. Knead until feels nice and silky.
Step 2 = Find a warm place to prove the dough. Cats are good indicators of warm places.

Jason is OLD
Jason has finally left his youth behind him and is THIRTY. To celebrate, he wanted TRIPE.
And ESCARGOT.
Apparently the TRIPE is the DISH OF THE YEAR (see Jason's fingers for proof).
This is breakfast - salmon omelette with potato, spinach and strange german sausage hash. We were at the Halls Gap Hideaway for the birthday weekend, and fancy breakfasts are obligatory.
On the way home from Halls Gap, we drove around Ballarat for HALF AN HOUR looking for a BOWLING ALLEY. Since we didn't find one, we went bowling in MELTON instead.
Despite Jason's pre-game bravado, I won the first one, and Jason the second. Yay me!!

Crochet ducky and fishy
I made a crochet ducky for Leong. He is called Chet. But Leong keeps forgetting he called him Chet, so he is also called Ducky.
The cat has also somehow been called Fishy because that is what its breath is. Here is Fishy admiring my crocheted blanket.
