Around here there's one week left of school for 2022 and I will have one child in Senior next year and then we are done with school. Where does the time go with my first born completing his first year of University. I haven't taken many photos lately which makes me a bit sad as the kids are off doing their thing most of the time so it's me and the bird.
My veggie garden is full of weeds however I did grow some womboks which the snails also loved. They are pretty easy to grow and I know around Christmas time Womboks are around $8 each in the supermarkets. On Christmas Day we make the Noodle salad which is on the back of the Changs Noodle packet and it's always a big hit with our family as in Queensland we have hot Christmas Days. About 20 years ago we went to a BBQ dinner at a work colleague's place and she made this salad and we have been making it for Christmas every year since. Here's a few photos of late.
Christmas last year, Noodle Salad in the bowl on the right.
On Friday I made some Gingerbread Biscuits however I think I will use a different recipe next time as the mixture was a bit dry and also the spices weren't as strong. They all got eaten so they couldn't have been that bad.
Wombok cabbage is the one vegetable I've never been able to grow. The earwigs decimate it every time. I love the Chang's noodle salad, so good.
ReplyDeleteAll the outer leaves were nibbled by little snails but the inner core was great.
DeleteThe noodle salad looks delicious as does that pizza! Happy you were able to grow the Wombok. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Staci
DeleteI had to google Wombok (known as Chinese cabbage over here, I think) - your salads look delicious. (Hard to imagine myself eating them though - snow and minus 3C here). Amazing to think that your young ones are flying the nest ...
ReplyDeleteAlexa, I know I can hardly believe it myself, I still remember the first time we made pasta together and they were so little. Hope you are doing well and have a great Christmas.
