Footy Feast

Last night saw the first game of the State of Origin for the year.  In this house it means a lot of excitement from my husband.  Normally he spends most of his time yelling at the TV thinking that the players and refs can hear him I'm sure.

We had Bec and her partner coming for dinner so I thought some footy food was in order.  PIZZA!!  Not the bought type though as I had a falling out with a certain pizza company about 8 years ago (4 hours waiting and still no pizza) so we resorted to making our own pizzas at that time.  This means making the base in the bread maker and finding all types of contents in the fridge to put on them. 

First dish of the night was Creamy Corn Chowder (microwave recipe) that I made on the stove top, this was followed by the pizzas - two of them.

This one has salsa dip, onion, tomato. capsicum, mushroom (home grown), feta cheese, olives, salami, bacon, left over meat loaf, spinach and herbs (both home grown).  We only had 4 slices left, just enough for lunch.

Once we had all settled on the couch to watch the game, hubby got up and made dessert - ice cream in a cone.  Then it was game on.  Needless to say Queensland one so hopefully they can continue with that for the rest of the series!

Anzac Day

Today is the day that we remember all of the men and women that fought and worked to keep our country free!  It makes me so proud to be Australian so much so it almost brings a tear to my eye.  What a wonderful place to live!

My daughter is lucky enough to live on a road where the Anzac Parade in her area passes right in front of her door.  Below is the photo she sent me this morning as the march went by.

We had a quiet night last night with leftovers for tea as I have joined Rhonda from down to earth blogspot with a food challenge.  There is only two of us at home now so eating should be alot more simple and cheaper.  Last nights meal consisted of left over chicken and corn soup, with some meat pie and potato bake to follow and then later in the night we had a baked jam rolly polly with cream.  Yum!

Tommorrow I will try and show some more of the crafts I have been working on lately!

Take care
