The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Shaz51 ..crapola to be honest, re this afternoon's trials and tribulations ,, just trying to settle back down from few minor setbacks.. ok .. no, I'm great and glad you came .. how do you like the food here?? It looks good

Hi you @Former-Member try not to crumble, Violet....

Very clever @TAB ....

Violet Crumble was always my favourite, growing up ❣

@Kurra - happy to put the recipe up on @Appleblossom 's Munchies thread, but I warn you, it's a bit of work to make them like this ..... so we buy them from a Greek pastry shop.

I have made them before tho ... and it saves a lot of time and effort if you use puff pastry instead of filo pastry layers brushed with olive oil, which is the traditional way.

Thanks @Former-Member @Kurra @NikNik 😊 ..... for your compliments earlier ...

Sorry you're having a rough time @Jacques. I hope you get some decent sleep tonight ....

Hi everyone, sorry for dropping in early, i am not able to stay again 😕 just wanted to say you are all in my thoughts and well wishes.

I thought a warm soup would be good for starters.

Hugs to everyone, take care, be kind to yourself.

Jacques

Who's around tonight??

@Queenie @Kurra @TAB @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @PeppiPatty @Appleblossom @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Crazy_Bug_Lady

I don't know where you're all at in Australia, but it seems where I am, winter is slowly making an exist. A hint of spring is in the air! The nights are still cold though, so I'm thinking of having a hearty winter meal with @Jacques soup, some garlic bread and some pasta.

Hi @CherryBomb plus all ..haha Joan and the Jetts ..associations.. soz .. caught up with friend hadn't seen for ages, just got in.. yeah looks a bit brighter in kal today lolo

..may try garlic bread later, while do Old Mother Hubbard thing later re my contributionlol

@Faith-and-Hope and @TAB what does doing a 'mother hubbard' mean??

Hi @CherryBomb & all...

Yes, winter is slowly saying farewell for 2016!

My partner is making samosas for dinner - filling is curried potato, chickpeas & peas - homemade "pastry" with no oil & tamarind sauce - absolutely delicious...

I've been watching the Olympics a lot - I love the Olympics - it has been giving my mood a boost. However today I feel a bit low after Cate Campbell world record holder - came 6th after breaking the OR in the heat & again in the semis & she just looked so emotionally shattered in a brief interview - I can only imagine how devastated she feels & think we just maybe put too much expectation on her.... my partner thinks it is silly that I feel depressed about this, but is also the anniversary of Robin Williams death (RIP beautiful soul), which affected me greatly 2 years ago.... These "small" things probably mean there is a bigger issue bugging me that I can't identify right now. I probably sound completely silly, but anyhow.... this is me.

Namaste,

A
