Roasted a chook @Ali11 and have made an Asian cabbage salad (as per recipe on Chang's noodles), will probably buy a pre packed Thai salad from supermarket too. Have some grapes and might pick up some mandarins. We are taking some friends on a bushwalk so have some corn chips and tsaziki dip for them to snack on.
Just about time for me to head off 😀😀.
