Hi everyone.
Hopefully the worst of
the weather conditions in your
area have gone.

Time for reading is
probably the last thing on
your mind, if the weather is still
causing headaches with
floods, etc. but I'll continue to
add these posts so that
you can read them
when you want to.

I recently read.....

Street Boys by
Lorenzo Carcaterra

I'm glad I read this book.  
I didn't say enjoyed, because you
might think I meant it 
in a humorous way, but if
you keep reading this
post, you will see what I mean.

Set in Naples during WW2, the 
story line is based around
children orphaned by the war, and
their survival fighting against the 
Germans set on destroying the town
where the children live.

This is part of the
war you don't often consider
when looking at history....
now you see what I mean
about not using the 
word 'enjoyed' like I usually do!
It felt disrespectful to the
content of the story.

If you have tried any other books
I have mentioned in the past, and are
game enough to try another, I
hope you add this one to
your list.

Happy reading,  Jenny

Hi everyone, before 
I start, special
thoughts to everyone affected by our
current weather and floods.
I'm fine, but we have become a bit like
an island with highway closures
due to flooding.  Fortunately
the cyclone warning has
been cancelled.

How often have you
baked, and frozen
cooked meals, only to end up with
stained plastic containers?

This dish has had
pasta sauce in it, and 
frozen.
The picture is after the sauce
has defrosted....
....and this is after I rinsed it
with cold water....leaving some of
the sauce as proof.

I recently heard that if you
use cooking spray on your dishes, you
won't get stain marks!

I'm happy with the
result so far :)

What handy tip have you heard?

Happy cooking,  Jenny

too late to plan the tree .
There are a few to choose from, so
have fun :)

Aaah, Summer...

it behind, while bloggers in the
North, are looking
forward to it.

Either way, you
might like to see these
for your table linen :)
