We had two nice dinners in a row, must be a record. Just a bacon and egg roll yesterday simple but very nice. I cook the bacon in the oven which is much nicer than frying it, just had tomato sauce on the roll through cheese, lettuce tomato are options.
Tonight we had corned beef, the eye piece [through I dont know what that is its the best bit according to my mother] The meat goes into a pot of water with a bay leaf, some vinegar, pepper corns, onion mustard powder and some ginger. I dont think they are the usual things altogether but I thought well I will just put in the flavours I like and simmered it for 2 hours. It tasted very nice. We had potato salad in lettuce leaves and slices of cucumber. I made potato salad with a vinegar and olive oil dressing. I dont like that slimy white stuff. I cut up an onion very thinly and put some dijon mustard (the one with the nice little seeds), sweet chilli sauce and salt and pepper. Sometimes I put lots of fresh herbs in the dressing and sometimes use different oils like mustard oil or macadamia oil.
I did aquarobics with a friend and after we had breakfast at the beach. I had fruit and banana bread. Then we brought some plants some lettuce, a rododendron, some ferns. Visited my mother, we had another swim in the evening and that was my day.
