Julie, if I wrote what I really said, Brenda would delete it anyway, LOL. We have to keep it clean!"

Haha! You know me well;)

Well, of course it is! I made it on Monday in the slow cooker. It was meant for tomorrow night. Now he will have to come up with something for then, seeing as I came to the rescue tonight.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I guess he'll pay better attention tomorrow night;)

This interview doesn't add much hope that he's well:

Yes, it was cauliflower soup he had made that he ruined....

[Carolyn]

Oh dear Marianne, he'll have to try better next time to live that one down!

[Marianne]

well, he was very grateful that I had something in reserve. When I had bought the pumpkin and was making the soup he was whinging that he hates pumpkin, "pig food" was the exact term, I believe, but he said tonight that he had to admit is was very nice. Which is lucky, because there's more in the freezer, for us and for my Mum.

Agreed! Hopefully he can

Yes! It's just so valuable to see where things are going right & wrong :)

He certainly seems mad.

I agree about people saying they are only giving him one star because of his attitude - that's not cricket IMHO - if you read the book and don't like it, fair enough - but to give it a one out of spite is wrong."

Thanks, Sally.

He definitely thinks that the world must/has to share is beliefs. Or else... Sounds like he's trying to sell a new religion/belief system or something. He's very self opinionated. I think he actually needs to go out into the real world and spend some time, not just in the rarified world of acting and his make-believe world of his characters. Get a job, pay some rent, struggle, be like real people!

We've woken to absolutely atrocious weather this morning! Cold, wet and totally miserable :( Anyone would think it's winter or something :/

Lol...didn't we pick the best day for our swap meet last week?! :)

[Dale]

Not raining here, so was able to get out for a walk. Grey and overcast but not overly cold on the South coast.
Either that or I am just not feeling it.

Very wet and dreary in Sydney - my first day back at work after a lovely 4 day weekend away! Guess we were lucky to have such nice weather for the long weekend. Now back to reality....

Nice you got your walk in Dale..hope you don't cop this horrid weather!

[Dale]

Thanks. Me too.

How's your slow cooker going, Brenda? I just put a beef curry in mine and wondered whether you were enjoying yours. The last time I remember you mentioning it I thought you sounded a little undecided...

Still on the sidelines Kathryn..going to keep trying. My problem is a fussy husband! Did porcupine balls last and they were yummy, though next time I'll add more soup towards the end :)

All recipes gratefully accepted ;)

Yes please that'd be great! Actually no...do you want to make a thread for slow cooking recipes? That way we wouldn't lose them amongst the yummy sweet recipes;)

Oops - think I'd typed it in before you typed this, Brenda! But that's a good idea. Will make one now.

And that's very funny about the porcupines, Julie!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Kathryn - yes you did, but that's OK...great to keep a record for all of us. Plus the experts can post their favourites:)

I've created a slow cooker recipe thread here

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Experts?? I want to see your Porcupine recipe Brenda...for real! I reckon that would deserve a Michelin Star for technique alone ;)
(I know about these things...I watch Masterchef!!)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! I converted it from a casserole recipe I do often Jools. But I have to tinker with it - the "meatballs" were a little dry so that's why I think I have to save some soup to add near the end:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow do you have a link for us Michael?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

OK good:) It should be!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's locked for me Michael - looks like I have to sign up. It looks like it's about football - can you enlighten us?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I got the correct page Michael, but there's a padlock over the top of each page - the page is shaded so you can't read it. To unlock the pages to read it, I have to sign in...

[Marianne]

if you click once on "letters" on the banner across the bottom 18-19, you can see the page but it's too small to read. Are you one of the pictures at the top of p19 , Michael?

[Marianne]

far right Michael? So your lips don't look anything like your avatar!!! I'm sooo disappointed!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

His picture is second from the right Marianne, but I can't read it because of it being faded out...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have zoomed in and it just blurs it! Well congratulations Michael - famous is right!

[Marianne]

OK then: 2nd from the right Michael? So your lips don't look anything like your avatar!!! I'm sooo disappointed!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

lol!!!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Nice pic Michael...even without the hundreds and thousands! ;)
