First Attempt

Tomato and Capsicum relish.


I thought i would try and make my very first relish and i tell you what i am going to keep making relish lol.
I'm not a relish person but my partner and father in law love it and my SIL's do too.
For fathers day i went to our local store called  Country Simplicity and made up some hampers with some relishes and other preserves for them and the big hit was the tomato and capsicum relish so that's when i got my idea of making it myself.
So finally i did.

I got the recipe from HERE but added a teaspoon of chili flake and used

red wine vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar as i heard it gives it a bit more flavor.

Think these might have to go in a Christmas hamper

even got them to seal right thanks to a little tip from my SIL.

PaRtY PlAnInG

I have decided to throw a little party for some of my family and friends before Christmas.
So I'm in the mist of organizing gonna keep it real simple have ordered a pig for the spit gonna make one hell of a potato bake a couple of salads and a little bit of seafood.
Oh and a esky full of beer lol
I just hope the rain stays away.
Its been nice and wet in our little town of Cobar and everything is nice and green.

A nice change

I have be wanting to cut my hair for a long time now but had been chickening out for the past year.
You see i have not had my hair cut short for around 8 yrs and the hairdresser is a bit of a phobia of mine so when it does get a trim its mostly me that does it.


So yesterday it was OFF WITH MY HAIR finlay  and god does it feel good.
