I have a uni exam coming up the same week as DS's first birthday party. So I have decided to postpone the party for a week or so - and also in the hope the weather will be better, February is notorious for scorching hot days here in Adelaide, and this year is a hot summer.<br />
<br />
Please help!<br />
Any suggestions for a nice theme?<br />
I tend to just buy plain paper plates and cups etc, rather than going over board in buying all of that stuff, otherwise it gets very expensive. Instead I like to make cupcakes and or biscuits in the theme (see my previous posts about rubber ducky party and penguins).<br />
So any suggestions or hints on what theme I should do & how to make the cupcakes, cake pops or biscuits.<br />
<br />
Dinosaurs, Aeroplanes? I could do a rubber ducky theme again. I could do lions or another animal. I tend to really like Elephants. Maybe I could do an Elephant theme.<br />
So any suggestions on how to make Elephant Cakepops, and Elephant Cupcakes???<br />
<br />
Maybe I could use Banana lollies for a trunk & then two big freckles or button chocolates for the Elephant ears. Would a snake lolly be better as a trunk than a banana lolly?<br />
<br />
I am procrastinating thinking about his party rather than studying for my uni exam, but I know that if I have thought it all through and have my ideas, it makes it much quicker when I come to make it all.<br />
<br />
<b><u><i>Any ideas or comments - I would love to hear them, so please comment or email me with your suggestions. </i></u> </b><br />
With 4 children, working and studying, I will be very busy so I won't have a lot of time to spend figuring it all out. But #4 is just as special as all the others and so I want to do some special things for his 1st birthday just like I did for the others.<br />
<br />
I have just found this <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/2012/08/27/tim-tam-colosseum" target="_blank">tim-tam-colosseum</a> on <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/" target="_blank">Chocolatesuze's site</a>. Gosh Chocolate suze has some awesome things. Maybe I could try this for DS's 1st Birthday. Maybe a little smaller than hers was.<br />
Maybe I could work on that theme..... a timtam zoo with elephant and lion cupcakes inside????? I will keep thinking up things.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06765000513900323751noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291745374783059769.post-41354040042169083802013-01-16T14:43:00.001+10:302013-01-16T14:43:02.218+10:30Cold Sore RecoveryIt is now over 2 weeks since I felt the tingling and woke up the next day with the huge swollen cold sore blistered lip.<br />
My lip has almost recovered. It doesn't look bad anymore, just very dry & scaly and looks like my lip is peeling. I am feeling so much better - although I still have a tight feeling in my chest when I breath.<br />
The children are still all on school holidays here in Australia. It is nice to be able to sleep in and have lazy mornings, although during the day when they are 'at' me and fighting I wish there were at school.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of you who have sent comments who have experienced the same or similar.<br />

Apparently there is a new playground in Adelaide. Apparently it is really good.<br />
There is a full new children's playground. It is meant to be really good for children of all ages, so is good for those families with lots of children of mixed ages.<br />
There is a bike track for children and a flying fox.<br />
<br />
It is not fenced - so you do need to be careful that children don't wander off down to the River.<br />
<br />
There is also a kiosk for parents to grab a coffee.<br />
<br />
We were planning on heading there this week, but we haven't got there today (instead we made some of <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/2011/06/19/super-easy-cornflake-cookies" target="_blank">Chocolate Suze's fantastic cornflake cookies</a> again - except we used the Nestle Caramel Choc Bits and they were Superb! - Thanks again for your recipe) and it is going to be 41C here in Adelaide tomorrow, so we aren't going Thursday either. So hopefully we can get down there on Friday or over the weekend.<br />

My day by day picture diary!!! <br />
Well as you can see, I haven't posted on here for a while.<br />
<br />
We were frantic in the lead up to Christmas with lots of school and family events. Then low & behold straight after Christmas it is my D.D's birthday. But I was so run down that I came out with my FIRST EVER cold sore. Even before DD's birthday. I didn't even get out of bed to make her a cake and my partner had to do it!!! And he did a great job but that is another post.<br />
<br />
I have googled and googled and everywhere it says that 90% of the adult population has the virus that causes cold sores & that it is when you get run down that they appear. But why do I still feel unclean & dirty??? We eat healthily and eat a variety of foods, just I still have become run down enough to have this huge growth on my face for a week now. <br />
<br />
On the first night - New Years Day no less, I felt the tingling and the blister developing. I have never had a cold sore before and as it was late all the pharmacies were closed, so I couldn't rush out and buy any cream.<br />
<br />
- Be warned - dont'scroll down if you don't want day by day pictures - and it really does look like something out of an alien movie. It is just gross!!!<br />

The next night we rang the locum doctor to come out, as everything was continuing to swell up and we were thinking it may have been a spider bite. My partner even suggested we went into the Emergency Dept at the hospital. The locum assured us it was a cold sore, albeit an extremely big one. The biggest he had ever seen!!!<br />

The blister started to weep and sections started to scab over. While other sections still felt like the lip was growing bigger. <br />

It then became quite scabby and yellow. The sore had crusted over in places, while it was still a blister and beginning to weep in other places. <br />

This is what it currently looks like. It has now been 1 week since I first started to feel the tingling feeling and the blister was starting to develop. As they are highly contagious I have stayed away from everyone and even missed the first birthday of a very close friend's only child. I still feel fairly average. I never realised that a cold sore could make someone feel so bad. I thought it was merely like a pimple, it hurt if you touched it, but didn't affect the rest of your body, but how wrong I was!!!!! The skin on my hands is now sore from so much washing and anti-bacterial hand wash in an attempt to stop the spread to any of the other members of the family. Let alone the towels over my pillow and facewashers that I am continually washing in vinegar to hot water to kill off the virus. <br />

This year for the children's school end of year Christmas parties, I made Rudolf Cake Pops!!!<br />
<br />
They were fiddly, but they were really fun to make (albeit a little frustrating at times!!) I guess they did take some time, but I did them in stages, so it didn't seem that bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First I made the cake pop balls. I used a simple cake recipe and I have a silicon Cake pop mould. I made the cakes and then put the little balls in a container in the freezer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I was ready to make the reindeers, I took the cake balls out of the freezer and left them defrost.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I then used some Nestle Milk Melts and I melted them in the microwave for about 30secs at a time on medium heat until the chocolate was melted with a smooth consistency.<br />
<br />
I then placed the bowl over another bowl filled with hot water. That kept my chocolate from setting too quickly. But be sure not to get any water in the chocolate, as that causes the chocolate to turn & is then no good.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next I dipped a wooden skewer into the chocolate and then into the cake ball. <br />

<br />
I left the chocolate set. I placed a cardboard box upside down & put some baking paper over the top Then I just poked teh skewers through the box. This was ok as a temporary measure, but the heavy balls on the skewers made the skewers lean over & that is why foam is much better, as the skewers then stand upright and the cake pops don't bang into one another.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next I dipped each cake ball into the melted chocolate to cover it.<br />

Then I poked the pretzels into the top to form the antlers. In Australia, I couldn't seem to find the right pretzel shape like many of the USA sites show. Instead I bought pretzels and then cut them in half and trimmed a little of the top to make the shape.<br />
<br />
Finally you dip the edge of a Jaffa lolly into the chocolate and stick on a nose, and then do the same with 2 m&m lollies for the eyes.<br />

As you can see in the picture above, I also tried using white choc chip pieces for the eyes. I then dipped the pointy end bit into the melted chocolate to give the eyeball look. However, I liked the m&m eyes better and found it less time consuming.<br />
You can also see that each one has slightly different antlers.<br />

Finally I ran out of room in my cardboard box arrangement and I was running out of time to get them done before class party. So I placed a cooling rack over a plastic jug & started dangling the reindeers in there.<br />

You can also see in the above picture, I tried dipping a few in the chocolate with the antlers on. However I found that the antlers didn't stick as well straight into the cake, and if I re dipped them all after the antlers it used a lot more chocolate and took a lot longer. Plus the pretzel colour makes them look more like antlers in my opinion.<br />
<br />
<br />
The kids - ABSOLUTELY adored them. My son was SO excited to be taking them into the class party. When he thought that I wouldn't get them finished in time, ( I had dipped all the balls on skewers, but I hadn't put the antlers, eyes or noses or yet ) he woke up in the middle of the night, and started finished a whole lot of them off for me.<br />
<br />
It can be fiddly, as you need to hold the noses on until the chocolate sets enough to hold it. So the chocolate needs to be melted, but not too hot and runny. But I think it was well worth it, seeing the eyes on all those little children's faces!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
We also made Ruldolf Reindeers with Arnott's Chocolate Royale Biscuits, and Santa on his sleigh from Milkyway bars. I will post those up here soon. I know it is too late for this Christmas, but at least you will have some ideas for next Christmas now!!<br />

<br />
But I wanted to post some fabulous Christmas wreaths that my children made.<br />
<br />
Firstly you get a wire coat hanger and bend it into a circle shape. Keep the hook at the top, as that is what you can use to hang the wreath once it is finished.<br />
<br />

I bought fabrics and asked for each piece to be 10cms long. Then I came home and cut them into the 1cm wide strips. </div>

Depending on the fabrics you chose and the order or pattern that you tie them on, can change the look of the wreath. Some we tied on in a consistent pattern, while others we did randomly.<br />

My eldest child did most of it herself. We gave them to family and friends for Christmas presents.<br />
Each one was individual and had a different look to it. I particularly liked the ones with gold & silver organza fabrics. However my daughter preferred the one mainly with calico and some gold and silver touches to it.<br />
You can also hand or attach something - like a bauble or ornament from the hook at the top. It then will hang in the middle of the wreath for a special touch. We did that for some of our wreaths, but I forgot to take pictures, before we gave them away.<br />
<br />
We also tied a big bow around the hook at the top so that it was much less intrusive. <br />
<br />
They were so easy to do and kept the children entertained and productive in the exciting lead up to Christmas!!<br />

Our corn (normal corn that is) is growing very tall, so again we hope to have some nice cobs to eat soon. <br />
The lawn (couch) that was in the patch before we dug it up for a veggie patch, is also flourishing with the extra watering. So after this crop, we will have to dig it over again. We should have sprayed and let the ground sit for a while, but we were a little impatient to get our veggies growing & dont' like the idea of sprays.<br />
<br />
Our snowpeas are just gorgeous and taste yummy. DD #2 who is 4 yo, goes out everyday to pick some & loves eating them straight off the plants. Yesterday she played with her little friend Penelope and they had a wonderful time staying there eating snowpeas for ages.<br />

Penelope said they were the best snowpeas she had eaten. Not that imagine the 4 yo is a connisseur of snowpeas, I still felt my chest puff out!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06765000513900323751noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291745374783059769.post-80469605891082421252012-11-13T16:05:00.000+10:302012-11-13T16:17:08.157+10:30Adelaide's Christmas PagaentWell for anyone who has grown up or lived in Adelaide, you will be aware of the annual Christmas Pagaent. This is the day of days for any child in Adelaide and marks the beginning of the Christmas season where Father Christmas comes to the city.<br />
<br />
I am running late, and didn't get a chance to post this before hand.<br />
I do have some great tips as a regular Pagaent goer. This year the weather was absolutely perfect. We weren't planning on it, but we arrived earlier - everyone in the house was up - so I figured we might as well head in.<br />
<br />
We had food, drinks, rugs, cushions, and chalk. With 4 children I need to be prepared to ensure it runs smoothly and is enjoyed by all. We are fortunate that Mr S works in the CBD and is able to access his building after hours. So we camped out the front of his building, which meant he could easily run the children up to the toilets as required. DD#2 had made some biscuits on the Friday before hand, and we took in popcorn and fruit boxes. <br />
<br />
We arrived at 7am when the roads were closed. Armed with chalk, the children started drawing and entertaining themselves. We secured front road seats. We were mainly in the shade, which is also important when waiting in through to the end at 11:30 and being of Irish decent we are all as fair as fair.<br />

<br />
It was a great day. DS #2 (baby #4) learnt to wave which was my highlight of the day. But it was also great to see DD #2 (baby #3) was so enlighted and enchanted by the magical floats and clowns.You can see how thick the crowd is and all the chalk drawings on the road.<br />
<br />
It is a great day and is FREE - so for a family with 4 children is a great event without spending any $$$$.<br />

Thanks to the Pagaent Sponsors, the Credit Unions <a href="http://www.cupageant.com.au/">www.cupageant.com.au</a>. This year was the pagaent's 80th year and it was great to see new floats and lots of new and fresh costumes about.<br />

I can't wait to try it tonight. I will sprinkle it with icing sugar before serving. It is so moist you don't need to serve with cream, but you can if you like.<br />

THANK YOU to <a href="http://www.merribeeorganicfarm.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Bee</a> from <a href="http://www.merribeeorganicfarm.net.au/" target="_blank">Merribee's Organic</a> Farm.<br />
And to the Forum on <a href="http://www.aussieslivingsimply.com.au/" target="_blank">Aussie's living simply</a> which connected me to Bee's site.<br />
My seeds arrived in the post on Friday. I am very eager and excited to plant them, but we currently have sweetcorn planted in our front garden, so we will need to wait until that has finished before planting these new seeds.<br />
<br />
For those of you who missed my last posts, here is a picture of this beautiful corn that is an heirloom corn variety that you can grow.<br />

I signed up for the <a href="http://www.corridorkitchen.com/the-35-challenge/" target="_blank">$35 food challenge</a> which I found out about from <a href="http://www.corridorkitchen.com/" target="_blank">Corridor Kitchen</a>, a blog I like to read.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

However it has been a bad week in the Pippi household and nothing has gone to plan.<br />
What can I say - I feel dreadful. I person living in poverty can't just say - Opps Oh Well, I will start next week...... This is all the cash they have so that if they did that, they would starve yet another week.<br />
<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
In our case, most of our 'moula' this week has gone to the medical profession. Another thing that a person in poverty is unable to do.</h4>
<br />
Well I am furious! I took DD#1 to see the opthamologist. Now we were told that we would briefly see the orthoptic person first and then visit the opthamologist. So off we trott. We arrived on time for our 9:30 appointment. After much waiting, we eventually saw the orthoptic person who told us DD#1's current glasses (3mths old) are the wrong prescription and that she will need new lenses. We were told the opthamologist will check the prescription required but we also needed to have drops in her eyes, so that the opthamologist could check the health of the eyes. So we had our drops, waited the prescribed 20mins, waited some more, and a little more for good measure, then waited longer and longer. Finally we went in to see opthamologist.<br />
The Othamologist agreed her prescription was wrong but announced that her eyes were healthy - Yippee!!! As the drops were in, her pupils were dilated so we needed to come back in a few days to check her prescription again!!! We left around 12:30 - 3 hours after arrival!!!. I was not happy.<br />
I am so fortunate that DS#2 (ie Baby #4) is so placid and waited happily for that time.<br />
<br />
So then we had to go back with DD#2 (ie Baby #3) and DD#1. DD#2 was to have the works, Orthoptic and opthamologist. DD#1 was to see opthamologist for this second prescription yet, while DD#2 was waiting the prescribed 20mins for the eye drops to work. Then DD #2 would been seen by the opthamologist.<br />
But....... NO... the opthamologist who thinks their time is so much more important than everyone else's time again made us wait and wait and wait.<br />
We arrived at 10:30 and promptly saw the orthoptic person. Then DD#2 had her drops. Then we waited and waited and waited. Finally we saw the opthamologist and left after 1:30. So I have spent 6 hours with DS#2 (baby #4) in that waiting room this week. I am furious that I had to wait so long. Why is my time any less valuable than the opthamologists time. I have 4 children, kindy pickups, school pickups and lots of other things in my life, and I don't need to waste 6 hours sitting in a doctors surgery, with hungry grizzly children. I had some snacks, but obviously I didn't expect to be there so long and over lunch time, so I didn't have enough for them.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b> But the point of this thread is the $35 food challenge.</b> I ended up paying $238.18 out of my pocket, after Medicare.</h4>
<br />
Next, I had my dentist appointment. To bring you quickly up to speed, I am in the midst of having root canal treatment on my tooth. I have been going every month this year and paying about $200 out of pocket after my health fund rebate. As usual, I had to wait ages to be seen by the dentist. However this time I did come prepared with a book in hand. I was seen by the dentist and then came out and paid and had a huge shock when I needed to pay $473.25 out of pocket. I chocked!!!<br />
So there goes more money that I wasn't expecting to outlay.<br />
<br />
Today I took DD #1 to the glasses shop to purchase new lenses for her glasses. As her glasses were only purchased in April this year, I wasn't expecting much rebate back as I knew we had already claimed against our health fund. However I was again shocked to find out that her new lenses cost $225. That is not the frames, only the lenses.<br />
I don't understand the whole system and am sick to death of all of the false marketing where the signs up say "complete kids glasses from $159" . Now DD#1 has a basic single focal lens in both eyes, no fancy bi-focals or transition lenses or anything. Just plain basic short sighted glasses.<br />
<br />
SO back to our $35 food challenge. We have outlaid $936.40 on medical expenses this week alone. Plus all of my time running around and WAITING in doctors surgeries.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next week we are off to the Ear Nose and Throat Surgeon to check on DD#1 and DD#2. To have their ears checked out. So I will be outlaying more for that.<br />
<br />
Also next week DD#1 is booked in to see a Podiatrist to have orthotics made. I have rung up and been told the cost is $570, less our rebate from our health insurance.<br />
<br />
Therefore our total medical bill for this fortnight is looking to be about $1500. (Thank fully we were in front on our mortgage!)<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>What is my point with all of this??</b></h3>
<br />
We are an average middle class family, living in an inner city suburb. We are struggling!!!!! We are not in poverty like people that use the <a href="http://foodbank./">Foodbank.(</a><a href="http://www.foodbank.org.au/" target="_blank">http://www.foodbank.org.au/)</a>.<img alt="Foodbank" class="ie_png" height="156" src="http://www.foodbank.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/logo.png" width="200" /><br />
Yes we can afford to buy health insurance.<br />
Yes we are fortunate enough to be able to get our children the glasses and orthotics they require.<br />
<br />
<b>But at what expense.</b><br />
<br />
We eat basic food each week - and especially this month - it is all we can afford.<br />
The $35 food challenge, I assume is aimed at individuals. As a family of 6 that equates to $210 per week. But that is all we currently spend on food each week anyway. If this amount is to include all groceries, then we do go a little over that amount. We are spending more like $230 per week on all groceries, including cleaning products etc.<br />
I usually try to buy as much as possible in bulk. I go to Big W to buy the biggest washing powder containers - I need to buy Omo Sensitive as my children have itchy skin from other regular washing powders, <img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="225" data-width="225" height="225" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTphRmaUND4EQB-H0TbQ36CSXeNruz8I6El4jczHgb8de29U287Qg" style="height: 225px; width: 225px;" width="225" />and I buy in bulk when things are on special, like when Foodland has toilet paper rolls out cheap. (the problem is we have no room to store things with so many people in a little house!)<br />
I use Metho only on my floors and don't spend a fortune on cleaning products, and prefer to use items that are environmentally friendly, or natural products like Bi-Carb Soda and Vinegar to clean the bathrooms. <br />
I go to Gaganis Foods and buy flour in bulk as it is much cheaper than buying it per kilo at the supermarket.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The biggest thing I find about living on a tight low budget is time. </b><br />
I need time to prepare different meals and read new recipes. I need time to plan out our meals so no food is wasted and we eat what we have. With 4 small children time is the main thing I don't have. It takes time, to plan out the shopping lists and not buy things that won't last.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The $35 food challenge.</h3>
<h4>
Mr S and I will donate to the Foodbank, </h4>
And yes we are fortunate. We are struggling, but struggling to still provide for our children whilst meeting all their needs and to give them the best up bringing we can.<br />
<br />
We eat bland cheap meals, which Mr S complains are repetitive and boring. We don't cook steaks or go out to restaurants (I don't mean just fancy restaurants - we don't go out to restaurants full stop, even cafes!!!). We don't buy ourselves new shoes, or new clothes. We don't ever go to the movies or see a band or a show. From what I have learnt, our food bill is only around that of people around the poverty line. So we are obviously not eating expensive foods.<br />
<br />
But we have a beautiful family and we have managed to find the money to cover these medical costs which many other families are unable to do. So we are very fortunate.<br />
<br />
I feel sad that I didn't have enough time this week to actively plan / blog/ cook our food according to the $35 food challenge, but I have realised that it is probably far closer to our normal week than I ever knew or expected. Our children only ever have porridge, weetbix or toast for breakfast. We buy homebrand porridge which equates to one of the cheapest breakfasts I have found, and it is often made with water and not milk to further save. To be honest, I don't know how much further we could have saved, even if I had sat down and done all the planning etc.<br />
We grow our own vegetables and go to the local Gepps Cross Markets to buy our produce at a fraction of the cost of the major retail chains. This also means we are having healthy produce rather than pre-processed packaged foods.<br />
<br />
Hmmmmm...... we aren't in poverty as we have health , we could afford this medical costs and we have a roof over our head, but gosh, our disposable income seems to be closer than I anticipated!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Yet another recipe that I have had so many people ask for and say how exquisite it tastes.<br />
<br />
Simply have a block of <a href="http://philly.com.au/products/philadelphia-cream-cheese-block/" target="_blank">Kraft's Philadelphia Cream Cheese</a><br />
<br />
If you prefer you can use the light one. <br />
<br />
Let it sit out at room temperature so it is soft. Then place it in a bowl with<br />
<ul>
<li>2-3 tablespoons of icing sugar - depending on taste (I always like a little more !!)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Add about 1/4 cup of diced dried apricots. You can either buy diced apricots or buy normal dried apricots and quickly chop them up.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>About 1/4 cup of lightly roasted flaked almonds.</li>
</ul>

For a nicer flavour, gently roast the flaked almonds in a slow oven (100C) for about 5-10mins. Watch the almonds, otherwise they will quickly burn. You want them to have a nice golden colour like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl together.<br />
Lay out on a piece of cling wrap. Shape into a log type shape, and roll up cling wrap. Make sure the ends are also covered so the cheese doesn't dry out.<br />
Put in the fridge to firm.<br />
<br />
Then simply cut a slice off the roll and place on a plate with crackers, and celery and carrot sticks for easy entertaining.<br />
If you make sure the icing sugar mixture is gluten free, then this is an easy gluten free dish when served with carrots, celery, capsicum sticks or with certified gluten free crackers.<br />
<br />
ENJOY!!!!<br />

<br />
It is so so simple and SO SO YUMMY. Every time I make these, without fail, I am asked for the recipe.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Toffeed Almonds. </h3>
<h3>
</h3>
2 cups Almonds - good quality eating almonds are best (if you know your almonds a variety like C.P.S.)<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 cup water <br />
1 tablespoon of butter (if desired)<br />
<br />
Put all the ingredients in a fry pan and stir.<br />
Continue to stir.<br />
Pour out onto a greased tray, or a tray covered in baking paper. It is best to try and spread out the almonds to cool. If they are left in large clumps, they are harder to separate to eat. <br />
<br />
If you are unsure about people having a dairy allergy, just leave out the butter.<br />
For added flavour or a little variety, put in a teaspoon or so of cinnamon.<br />
<br />
I will make some of these ASAP and take photos of each step.<br />
<br />
The key here is to keep stirring. People always tend to stop when the almonds first become sugar coated. However if you keep them on the heat and keep stirring past this stage, you will end up with beautiful glossy toffeed almonds that are shiny, taste delicious and look amazing.<br />
<br />
This is always a refreshing change from chocolates.<br />

we arrived here, in our small house on our small block, we had a HUGE
bay tree in the back yard. It was great for cooking, and numerous
neighbours would knock on the door every so often, asking for some more
leaves for their cooking.<br />
Unfortunately the tree was so large we needed to cut it down as it was too close to the house and the foundations.<br />
Mum
has a HUGE tree. SO I am going to cut some beautiful bunches of
bayleaves, wash them all nicely, and tie them up with a lovely ribbon.
This will be another lovely Christmas gift for all the teachers, which
is basically only going to cost me my time. It will be appreciated by
their teachers who enjoy cooking over their Christmas holidays.<br />
<br />
Bay
Leaves are also great to hang in the kitchen. Smaller bunches look
quite attractive and the dried bay leaves are great for keeping all
those moths and weevils away from your pantry items.

Strawberries are so plentiful and reasonably priced. I bought a few

<li>500g of strawberries (hulled and slightly chopped) &</li>
<li>500g of sugar.</li>
</ul>
<br />
It then asks for some Jam setta, but I put some lemon juice in instead.<br />
I
put it on the Jam setting, and in about 1 hour, I had delicious
homemade preservative free strawberry jam. How easy is that????? <br />
Obviously, you can use whatever other fruit you have on hand. <br />
<br />
It
is just divine and so flavoursome - too much so in fact, as I keep
eating it on slices of freshly made homemade bread. But it is so easy
and of course we know exactly what is in it. No preservatives, No
Additives, No Flavours and No Colours.<br />

Poor teachers received dozens "best teacher ever mugs" and a years supply of chocolates.<br />
<br />
I have a very dear friend who is a teacher at an exclusive Adelaide
private school. I remember when my dearest daughter #1 started school,
asking her what presents she loves to get from her students at Christmas
time. I was expecting her to mention all the expensive chocolates and
other beautiful items. Yet she said her favourite things were the
delicious homemade goods.<br />
<h4>
So this year I have decided to make delicious homemade produce for all of the class and extracurricula teachers. </h4>
<br />
<h3>
PRESERVED LEMONS</h3>
My mum's lemon tree has lemons, lemons and more lemons. So many lemons we don't know what to do with them all.<br />
<br />
I have decided to make preserved lemons. I have followed Stephanie Alexander's recipe from her wonderful book "A Shared Table".<br />
The recipe is extremely easy, however it takes numerou days.<br />
<br />
I made one jar and it just looks so inviting, I have decided they will be great to give away for Christmas.<br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<br />
I went to the markets on the weekend and this gorgeous little lady sold me an artichoke. I kept asking how to cook it, and in her broken english she kept telling me that it is good for my liver.<br />
So I bought it and decided to come home and google. Good Ol Google!!! What would we do without it!!!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlKJv97GTwjUZIezjGTZZy-X3bQyHYNPv9h7FXOcxMR_iKk36H3SvndfgmI6XrTlh0NGmBS0h2cUpvtywEkeosUDFRW9sWJsMgh3RtSWy_Xek_tDDYKc7PvNGM00Z-N5MssMZF2kT0lIl/s1600/2012-10-09+16.45.51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlKJv97GTwjUZIezjGTZZy-X3bQyHYNPv9h7FXOcxMR_iKk36H3SvndfgmI6XrTlh0NGmBS0h2cUpvtywEkeosUDFRW9sWJsMgh3RtSWy_Xek_tDDYKc7PvNGM00Z-N5MssMZF2kT0lIl/s320/2012-10-09+16.45.51.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I was surprised to find little information on cooking the artichoke on it's own, and I couldn't find an Australian Recipe on how to cook it.<br />
There are recipes for stuffed artichokes and other recipes for them online, but not on how to cook or steam the artichoke by itself. I have never cooked one before, so I was also unsure about what part of the flower to eat, as the ends of each leaf section has a strong spikey thorn type prickle, which would be very unpleasant to chew if it <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the globe artichoke flower, which is very different to the Jerasulem artichoke which are grown for the tubers which are eaten like potatoes. I sometimes mash some in with our mashed potatoes to give a slight change of flavour, but it is very subtle. The jerasulem artichoke looks something like ginger, being a pale cream coloured small knobbly tuber.<br />
<br />
Anyway I have the globe artichoke flower. I haven't been able to cook it yet, and I am very eager to do so and to try the flavour.<br />
The Artichoke is related to the thistle plant and when you see the flowering plants you can clearly see the resemblence. <br />

The rest of our vegetable garden is growing really well. We have planted squash, snow peas, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce.<br />
<br />
Our fruit trees are also in full bloom, so we are looking forward to a full summer of fresh organic produce from our garden. Here are some pictures of our triple graphed pear tree.<br />

One hint to stop slugs from eating all of your new plants is to put containers out with beer in them. We have used old margarine containers and old yoghurt tubs. We have half filled them with beer and placed them around the garden. The slugs are attracted to the beer smell. They creep into the beer containers and then can't get out again. We had 9 slugs in one container out the front from the weekend. Which is reassuring, as they were eating away all of our broccoli. Here is our sage which the slugs have been enjoying!<br />

As you can see, we have Sage, Parsley and Strawberries in the same pot. However I must admit, I also have another pot of Parsley<br />

As we don't have much space, I have planted some plants straight into our front garden. Broccoli seedlings have been slotted amongst the agapanthus right next to our front gate. The get full sun and grow well in that position.<br />

I dont' know how but I seem to have rotated or inverted the last two photos as I have inserted them. I will investigate this.<br />
<br />
For all those avid gardners in Adelaide, you will now that this Saturday coming up is the <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2011/09/15/3318293.htm" target="_blank">ABC Carpark Caper - Gardener's Market. </a><br />
It is held from 8:30 at the ABC Carpark, Cnr North East Road and Rosetta St, Collinswood. There is a gold coin donation entrance fee, with the proceeds going to <a href="http://www.thesmithfamily.com.au/site/page.cfm" target="_blank">The Smith Family </a><br />
The Car Park Caper is a place to get bargain priced quality plants from avid gardeners who can provide in depth information about how and where to grow your plants. When I first started gardening and had little knowledge, I found it to be a great place to get some good bargains with sound knowledge. I am looking forward to going again this Saturday 13th October. I hope to get some more vegetable seedlings ready for feeding the hungry children in summer.<br />

Mr S now needs the computer so it is Ciao for Now!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06765000513900323751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291745374783059769.post-27835828000659864252012-10-05T09:04:00.000+09:302012-10-06T08:30:08.070+09:30Pippi's Piece Drive -ins = Savings!!!!<h3>
We all know kids just LOVE to go to see the latest movie!</h3>
<br />
We also know that it costs a fortune!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
With 4 kids it adds up to about $89.50 for me alone to take the children without Mr S. How expensive is that!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Here enters the Drive-Ins.</h4>
<br />
We are fortunate in Adelaide to have a great Drive- In that is fairly close to the city. It is only $22 per car load for up to 5 passengers (extra person only $8). SO if we go to the drive-ins instead of the cinema we are saving $59.50. For information see <a href="http://www.wallis.com.au/cinemas/mainline-drive-information/information" target="_blank">Wallis Main-line Drive-ins </a><br />
<br />
We go & pack our deck chairs. When we get there we get our chairs out, all line up & sit outside to watch the movie. We pack pillows and blankets and the children have a great time. Of course the next way to save $$$ is to pack all of your own food. I make pop-corn in our <a href="http://www.sunbeam.com.au/products/kitchen/cp4500/" target="_blank">pop-corn maker.</a> We received this as a gift one Christmas and we use it all the time.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Sunbeam Cornelius" rel="http://static.productreview.com.au/pr.products/a_4eb28d4557309.jpg" src="http://static.productreview.com.au/pr.products/t/150x150/a_4eb28d4557309.jpg" /></div>
<br />
It is quick and easy. It means the children have a preservative free, high fibre snack which they think is a treat. Sometimes I do add some salt, or sugar, or make a caramel topping, but most of the time they eat it plain. Even when we get a small treat at the kiosk for each child, it still works out so much cheaper than going to the cinemas.<br />
<br />
The next advantage is that if the youngest is really young, they can fall asleep in the back of the car, rather than whingeing half way through the movie, that they wantto go home.<br />
<br />
Also in a cinema when the children ask questions throughout the movie, you are constantly trying to whisper or telling them to be quiet. At the drive-ins, if you park a little further away from the other cars, you can answer the children's questions or let them talk throughout the film without disturbing other patrons. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally my tips on going to the <a href="http://www.wallis.com.au/cinemas/mainline-drive-in" target="_blank">drive-ins</a> here in Adelaide.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> It is best to go in the Autumn and Spring. Winter is often too cold. Even if all the children sit in the back of the station wagon, with the rear door up, it can get cold. There is also more chance of rain.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">In Summer Daylight Savings means that the movies start to late for the younger children. .</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">I prefer to go on a night where it is not to dark - by this I mean - when the moon is bright. If it is too dark, and you do sit outside with your deck chairs / bean bags etc, you can't see where you have put everything. I also prefer it to be a bright moon, so you can keep an eye on the kids and know exactly where they are all the time. However if you do go on a darker night, don't forget a torch, so you can quickly find that dropped packet of tictacs or jaffas or favourite teddy that the children have dropped onto the ground.</span></li>
</ul>
So a big Thumbs up for the <a href="http://www.wallis.com.au/cinemas/mainline-drive-in" target="_blank">Wallis Main-line Drive-ins at Gepps Cross in Adelaide</a>. The only downside, is that there is not much choice on the time (obviously it needs to be at night) and the movie to view (there is only 1 screen, so only one movie at a time). Most nights they screen numerous movies at later session times, with the children's movie on first. But if that movie is not what your children want to see, then you need to wait until it either comes on, or you need to go elsewhere.<br />
<br />
That is our dilema today. The children want to see "Madagascar 3", this week, and at the Drive-ins they are screening "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3".<br />
So I did the search for the cheapest tickets to the movies. Fortunately through our health insurance we can purchase discounted online movie tickets. So if you also have health insurance you may want to check if your company does the same.<br />
<br />
Today I have my 2 nieces staying with me, so for 1 adult and 5 children it is going to cost me $106.50. Can you believe it? That is just ridiculous & there is no way we can afford that. Luckily through our health insurance I can get the tickets for $53.00. Which makes it far more reasonable and much more affordable.<br />
<br />
<h4>
So I must run, as we are all off to the movies!!</h4>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
I have found out that you can get Glass Gem Corn in Australia, from Western Australia.</h3>
<br />
<a href="http://www.merribeeorganicfarm.net.au/" target="_blank">Merribee's organic farm</a> in Nannup, WA sells the corn seeds for $3.50 per packet, plus a once fee of $2 for postage in Australia.<br />
<br />
I have ordered some and am VERY excited about getting them and planting them in my garden.<br />
I will just have to wait for my other corn to finish, so that the 2 varieties don't get cross pollination.<br />
<br />
As soon as the seeds arrive I will upload a picture and keep you all posted. <br />

Glass Gem Corn is not widely available, as far as I can ascertain it is only available in the USA. It is NOT genetically modified and is an heirloom corn variety. At this stage they don't appear to be available, but if any of you hear to the contrary, please let me know, as I am hanging out to get some to grow in my front yard. At this stage interest seems to have way out stripped the supply. But hopefully in the not too distance future I will be able to grow some Glass Gem Corn too. For more information see the Glass Gem Supplier, Seedstrust.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Converting Plain Flour to Self Raising Flour. </span><br />
Today's Pippi's Piece, is information about flour. If you live in a small house like I do, and also like to cook alot, it takes a lots of space keeping a big supply of both SR Flour and Plain flour on hand. I also am buying bread mix and bread/pizza flour. SO to save space, I have started buying Plain flour. When I need Self Raising flour, I merely add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 1 cup of Plain flour. It is easy and effective. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV22ZgRtJY02nSshRf4YZEcdLcLdoljkKQgfJM59_6Bd_qhQ9dQkZJ24CETW2K4GFLLpRG91SRtUgOwg5gQsGeWrsgH7SNAA7g9Xvl7ljthP-IrzstwBZbcuvz9QcyqGp1EifZ0Er8KY8z/s1600/2012-10-02+18.26.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV22ZgRtJY02nSshRf4YZEcdLcLdoljkKQgfJM59_6Bd_qhQ9dQkZJ24CETW2K4GFLLpRG91SRtUgOwg5gQsGeWrsgH7SNAA7g9Xvl7ljthP-IrzstwBZbcuvz9QcyqGp1EifZ0Er8KY8z/s320/2012-10-02+18.26.44.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I find there is no difference in price in buying Self Raising Flour or Plain Flour, so the extra baking powder does cost a little bit more. However I find this a small price to pay and find it saves space having 1big box of flour in the cupboard.<br />

I have woken up lying beneath our bedroom window in our new bedroom layout and I feel excited about the day. I can smell the subtle aroma of our freshly baked bread in the breadmaker. So far it is a lovely morning.<br />
<br />
I am feeling really positive after our big clean out yesterday. Today I am off to the poor box to drop off all the clothes that we cleaned out. I would love to walk / ride our bikes as part of our saving money scheme, but honesty we can't fit all the clothes under the pram. Perhaps we could take a few each day, that would make us walk there everyday. Helping me to get fit, lose weight, and save money by not driving the car. But alas, I am afraid that if we leave the clothes lying around at the front door, they will slowly creep back into my cupboard. No I need to drive them to the poor box ASAP, so I can make a clean break! <br />
<br />
After the poor box, today on the agenda we are also going to cook some biscuits.<br />
Last week I found these fabulous <a href="http://www.bakers-corner.com.au/baking-products/nestle-choc-bits/" target="_blank">Caramel choc bits</a>, at a supermarket near a friend's house, which were just so delicious.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I baked them in these <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/2011/06/19/super-easy-cornflake-cookies" target="_blank">supereasy cornflake biscuit</a>s from <a href="http://www.chocolatesuze.com/" target="_blank">Chocolatesuze</a>. They were fantastic and the children loved them. However I haven't found the caramel choc bits at a supermarket near me, so I am off to the shops to look for them. The children will ride their scooters and bikes, which will burn off some of their bounding energy.<br />

SO I couldn't find the delicious caramel bits. We still went ahead and made our biscuits. This recipe uses brown sugar which gives it a beautiful caramel undertone flavour to the biscuits.<br />

As mentioned in my first 'Pippi's Piece' Post, I dont' store Self Raising flour most of the time, purely due to storage issues with a family of 6 in a small house. So I use Baking Powder as required to make Self Raising Flour from the Plain Flour. This is easily done by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to 1 cup of plain flour.<br />

SO I couldn't find the delicious caramel bits. We still went ahead and made our biscuits. Instead of caramel choc bits, we divided the mixture into 3. In the first bowl we mixed in diced dried apricots.<br />

The weather is beautiful with the sun shining.<br />
Darling Son #4 has a cold, feels miserable, so you can imagine the type of day I am having.<br />
<br />
We are attacking our bedroom. As I mentioned we live in a small house. I literally have 2 doors (totally 1metre wide) as cupboard space for all my clothes, shoes and all those things a woman just literally can't live without. I have taken everything out of the cupboard and am now slowly working through the clothes to determine which ones can go straight into the poor box. <br />
Baby #4 is only 7 mths old, so I am still trying to get back into shape to fit into some of my clothes. <br />
Others I need to realistically admit I will NEVER get back into.<br />
<br />
So we are slowing tossing things into piles and seeing what we can fit back into the limited space available.<br />
I am a hoarder. In my heart I don't like to get rid of anything - just in case I may need it in the future. If one of the children has a dress up for book week, or needs something for a school project, I want to have it there ready. But the reality of living in a small house with 4 children has set in and I need to de-clutter.<br />
<br />
Thank goodness for Mr S. Without him, nothing would ever get past, but he is slowly convincing me that clothes I haven't worn for over 10 years can finally go to a new home.<br />
<br />
I would love to have shown a before and after shot, but I started before I took a photo.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothes tunred out to be the catalyst. We ended up rearranging our entire bedroom, and then did the same in the lounge room. SO we have spring cleaned the house and we are ready for living a tidier simplier life!!!!!<br />

<br />
Firstly I made some penguin biscuits<br />
<br />
I started by acquiring a penguin biscuit cutter.<br />
<br />
We then baked a basic biscuit recipe and obviously cut them out with the penguin biscuit cutter. I decorated the biscuits in white and black icing.<br />
I used <a href="http://www.csrsugar.com.au/Baking/Soft-Icing-Mixture.aspx" target="_blank">CSR Soft Icing Mixture</a> which is gluten free and added water to make a thick paste. I divided the mixture into 3 bowls. I tinted one bowl orange using <a href="http://www.queen.com.au/products/" target="_blank">Queen's food colouring</a> and one bowl black.<br />
I then decorated the biscuits using the black and white icing for the bodies and the orange for the beaks.<br />

<br />
Believe it or not, it is all cake!!!<br />
It ended up being about 50cm high. I made a whole lot of round cakes. I used a basic butter cake recipe. I can't remember exactly but think that it was about 5 round cakes.<br />
I stacked all the cakes on top of each other and used long wooden skewers to hold the cake together. I put a thin layer of whipped cream and jam between each layer.<br />
I then started to shape the head. I used a sharp knife and slowly sliced off the edges of the cake until it looked about the right shape. I then carefully shaped carved out the next area.<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.cadbury.com.au/products/pascall-confectionery/marshmallows.aspx" target="_blank">Pascall Marshmallow</a>s and to make a fondant icing. I always buy the pink and white marshmallows. In a microwave safe container, I placed a small pile of marshmallows and heated them on high for a minute or so. When the marshmallows had melted, I added <a href="http://www.csrsugar.com.au/Baking/Soft-Icing-Mixture.aspx" target="_blank">CSR Soft Icing Mixture.</a> Slowly add the icing mixture to the melted marshmallows and mix to form a dough. When the dough has formed, knead it on a chopping board. I sprinkled the chopping board with the icing mixture. Add the black Queen's food colouring a few drops at a time until the desired colour is achieved.<br />
I only melted white marshmallows to use for the penguins tummy. I used the pink marshmallows and tinted it black and orange for the other parts.<br />
<br />
I heated some jam and spread it over the cake, so that the icing would stick to the cake.<br />
<br />
Next I rolled out the icing into large sections and draped the icing over the cake. I placed the white tummy on first then the black section. I used some more of the icing to shape the arms, beak, and feet. I used tooth picks to help hold the arms, legs and beak in place. <br />
