We had every intention of making today an Irish themed lunch but after browsing the internet, we were all a bit reluctant to base a lunch on corned beef, potatoes and cabbage. So, we broadened the scope and had a lovely lunch!

Last night I slaved away making this Shepherds Pie.

It was basically a beef casserole topped with creamy mashed potato.

We had mini pies, sausage rolls and quiches cooked in our mini oven.

Green cordial!

Coconut Rice with Ian's homegrown Mangos

I am loving corn right now. It's a pity it's so expensive!

I roasted the chicken and carrots first, then threw in the corn. Just before it was all ready, I threw in the asparagus. Delicious!

After dinner I drove over to Marissa's for coffee. As usual, she laid out a spread of cake and Mrs Pelle's scones. I couldn't resist!

At work we all pooled some money together to buy this much needed piece of equipment. It will assist in keeping energy levels up for the staff and hence increase productivity and efficiency.

It is a mini oven.
As you can see, I am already putting it to good use.

It was a quiet afternoon at work so I drew on my creativity to create this work of art. Yes, we are already discussing next week's work lunch. It falls on Thursday 17th of March, which is St. Patrick's Day. Our theme shall be Irish cuisine!

Dinner
Wan Tan Soup
