yuck
my old kitchen is now a handful of ashes and and small pile of old junk.
shiny bright and lovely
my new kitchen is a place I love to be in, love to keep clean, a place where I feel whole. I didn't realise how depressed my old kitchen made me until I had my new kitchen installed.
The flouro lights make a difference, the abundant benchtop space makes a difference. The fact that the mice can't get onto my cupboards, just scamper and sneak next to my cupboards makes a difference.
Later today I will make my first batch of scones in my lovely kitchen and life will be as good as it can be. Thank you to you all, thanks to my brother who gave me his old kitchen to become my new kitchen.
Thank you to my mother who held my kitchen in her barn for so long, while I tried to organise someone to put it in. Thank you to Luke and ferret who delivered my kitchen. Thank you to Steve, who installed my kitchen, and to Mick and Trevor who did their bit too.
And a big thank you to my lovely husband Graham who helped install the kitchen, and who loves the kitchen too.
We all have to get older. It is a simple fact of life. We are born, we live and we die. The way we live, the lives we lead all impact on how well we live. If we take care of ourselves, it can help us live a longer life, a better life. But there are no guarantees.
And even if you follow all of the rules, you can still fall victim to some of the common ailments that can plague us. Some people seem to cruise through life with barely a sniffle, others fall victim to everything going around. Whichever way it is for you, it is good to do your bit to help your body do the right thing for you.
And we all have different things that affect us as we approach middle age and beyond. Women have to guard against breast cancer, cervical cancer, as well as working to keep looking as good as they want to look.
Men have their own issues in older years. They dont suffer quite the same issues as women relating to their looks, but they certainly have health issues. Prostate Cancer is a big one, as well as other forms of cancer that can happen to any of us.
The good news is that you can help yourself by eating particular foods. Soy, tofu and soy milk are all good, and so are yummier things like fruit, shellfish, oily fish, nuts and seeds. Eating a diet rich in these foods can help prevent or at least lessen problems with enlarged prostate and can also reduce the need for medications like Viagra and Cialis.
These foods can also help with sexual health in middle aged and older men. Just because youre getting older, doesnt mean you have to give up the finer things in life.
It's been twenty years I've lived in this house. Twenty long years of living with a kitchen I've hated.
I don't know the person who had this house built, but I sure know he was no style king. The kitchen that I have put up with, is about the worst you could imagine in a 70's kitchens built by a person who has no idea about what a kitchen really needs to make it an all right place to spend your cooking time.
The kitchen had inadequate cupboard space, no drawers, insufficient lighting. The benchtops were one and a half inch tiles and the cupboards that were there were an awful green. I like green, it's my favourite colour, but this green was revolting.
But I put up with this kitchen, because the property had other things that were good. The swimming pool, the dog kennels, the space, the neighbours being far enough away. But the kitchen!
But now, I am pleased to let you know I finally have a kitchen I can be proud of. I am happy to clean this kitchen, happy to be in this kitchen. And the good thing is, the cupboards can actually keep the damned mice out!
Absolute bliss. Just thought I'd let you know. Thank you for reading!
Ive been looking at a website http://www.ecookinggames.com, and it just looks like so much fun!! I wish I was a young girl again and then I could go to this site more often. I have to do the boring real life cooking and it is so much more fun to be doing all these amazing games instead.
I love food, and I love fun, so Cooking Games seems like the perfect combination. Cooking food for real, for people who munch and grunt gets so boring, but Food Games at this site are so cool

When my husband travels interstate, and Im sitting home at night, just me and my son and the dogs, I think feel secure enough. I dont need a big strong man to protect me. Or do I?
There are a lot people out there, with no proper job, no hope, no idea on how to get a good life legally, and no morals. These people can be so lacking in ideas how to legally better their situation that they decide taking from other, better off people is the best way to go

Well, I did it, just like I said I would. Sweet mufins again, and so, so nice.
Wholemeal flour again, olive oil, milk, egg (duck), baking powder, nutmeg, salt (tiny bit), poached pear chopped up finely, chopped dates, and whatever it is I may have forgotten. I made a dozen and there are now nine left

We have only one left in the freezer. They were savoury, they were tasty, they made lunch or snacktime delish!
What was in them, I hear you ask. Well, that's the problem with being a creative (lazy) person. I remember they had the usual, flour, egg, salt, olive oil. There was cheese (cheddar and bourssin). Probably there was pepper, salt (may have been stock powder). I put in chopped tomatoes and mushrooms

What do you do when you have a friend who stinks? Well, maybe not stink, but perhaps youve got a friend whose odour doesnt fill you with joy. What can you do?
Telling them outright would/could be embarrassing, but you are getting tired of their tired (or worse) smell. What to do

We all have friends, even you out there, you know who I'm talking about, yeah you.
Some friends are easy to deal with, they show up every now and then for a drink and a bit of a chat, then drift off to their own life again. Super simple. They are funny and fun, and they don't cause any strife

Lumping people together like that may be a way of handling them, but everybody has the right to their own opinion. Just like we all have the right to give our opinion, taking care not to be too rude or naughty.
