o.k yesterday i was the housewife. I vacuumed, ironed and made dinner.

It took 6 hours to make dinner thanks to the Koussa (marrows-small zucchini) taking a very very very long time to scrape out. On the upside the husband gave me a massage before bed. His quite apt at that. I took some photos of scraping... and the cooking. The taste of the food redeems the hours of preperation. I can imagine lebanese woman sitting around chatting while they do this. Must cut the meat into small squares too for the stuffing mix which is also time consuming. Lucky I had downloaded an old movie and had some supersizers to view. Supersizers is a series of food throughout the ages. I highly recommend it for interest sake. The commentators are amusing. It is available here for free to watch

It's been a while since i wrote anything. I recently had my birthday. Husband and family bought a massive kitchen device. A kenwood Major Titanium so now im making stacks of cakes. Cakes cakes and more cakes. Oh and mince... it does lots of different things and i'm very happy with it.
It's not the best for tiny quantities.. however i barely ever make small things.
The family came for my birthday-Brent. Very exciting and fun.

U2 December Melbourne

Fair enough that Jay-Z is the fourth best rapper in the world. How come U2 continually gives us rap/hip hop opening acts in Australia. The rest of the world get Snow Patrol, The Fray, Florence and the Machine as opening acts. Last time no one listened to Kanye West. Why would you pair your music up with another similar act? I'm not there to pay my $600 thank goodness to go see the concert.

Today I started making corned beef. Well actually i started last night soaking it in water and salt. Today i began the witches brew. Ok i realized after i put everything in the pot the meat wasn't supposed to be there. So after removing that the pot was boiled for about 10 minutes. It smelt delightful. Like a pot of Christmas.
