Aug. 16, 2007 - vegies, recipe and tag

This morning Dad, my two brothers(Burger and Bibleman), two sisters and two friends(BobaFett and Yoshi) left for their snow trip at Mt Buller. Me, Mum and my little brother stayed. I not really the kind of person that like to go travelling much and I don't like driving up mountains.

This summer I'd like to try growing vegies again. For the last few years I'd been growing in a patch about fifty metres from the house so on the hot summer days it didn't give me much incentive to go out and check them so they basiclly dried up.

So now I'm going to try in patch closer to the house. There's only one problem. The washing line is right in the middle of the perfect spot! So that's going to have to move over. In the next week or 2 Dad and the boys will dig it out of the cement. I hope it won't be too hard!  We'll also have to put up some sort of screen on the west side so in the middle of summer it won't be so hot for the plants.

So anyway this morning I started digging up the ground and whew! it was hot work, even though it's a pretty cold day. But I got at least half of it done, which is good. I should be finished tomorrow.

I've been saving the tomato seeds for the last two or three years so I'll have to get them planted soon. I'm also thinking about grow lettuce, beans, radishes, zucchini, and cucumbers; whatever I can fit in!

Here is a choc-chip biscuit recipe that a friend of ours gave us. She is from a homeschooling family of nine and does quite a bit of  baking. These are absolutely the best biscuits we've had.

120 grams butter            1 cup brown sugar

1 egg                                1 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup plain flour               1/2 cup milk powder

1 cup rolled oats               1/2 choc-chips

Heat oven to 180 C. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and essence. Mix. The add all other ingredients

Drop teaspoons of mixture onto greased tray and bake for 10- 15 minutes. Enjoy!!

O.K . Last thing. Tag from BobaFett. I have to write eight ramdom things about myself.

1 I play a lot of table tennis with my brother, Burger(I think we get a bit too ferocious at times, when we play matches! We're pretty even)

2. I just finished Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness yesterday.

3. I read Piercing the Darkness first when it should have been the other way around!

4. I've got nealy 30 tennis trophies and about 15 medals

5. I'm going to visit the U.S. someday.

6. Tulips are my favorite flower

7. I'd like to go to Antarctica

8. For some reason I don't like all these hi-tech gagets like mobile phones that can do 20 things, or i-pods, or computer games or any of that stuff.
