Monday 20th July '09

I stayed over at Lisa and Tom's place last night. It rained all night, with the heavy showers waking me up every now and then, but I had a really awesome sleep - made all the more better knowing that I didn't have to get up for work. Lisa called me when my breakfast was ready - what wonderful service! She made me cheesy toasts and a cup of tea. Yum!

If I had slept at home last night, I would have no doubt spent most of today sleeping. As it was, I headed out to the city to check out Harbourtown. I haven't been there for yonks. At first I thought I'd wasted my time going there because I didn't really see anything I needed and didn't want to spend money on clothes I didn't need. Until I found some stores and bought some trackpants, t-shirts, underwear and PJ's. I also splurged on a nice skirt and silk top.

Kong came to join me for lunch.

Kong had the Katsu Chicken Bento Set



Back at home after my day of retail therapy, I set to in the kitchen to make dinner.

I made a potato and sweet potato bake with provolone cheese.


This is a variation of the provolone potato bake that I usually make. I just added some slices of sweet potato. They added a delicious sweetness to the dish.

I needed to do something with all the bread rolls on the kitchen counter that I didn't have time to eat. Instead of wasting them by throwing them away, I used a food processor to turn them into bread crumbs and put some aside to use tonight for dinner, and the rest I stored in a ziplock bag and put in the freezer.

I combined some dried rosemary, thyme, sea salt and cracked black pepper with some bread crumbs. I dipped each lamb cutlet into a lightly beaten egg and then coated them with the crumb mixture. I fried them in some olive oil in a pan.

I packed up some slabs of the potato and sweet potato bake and the lamb cutlets and braved the rain and gusty winds to join Noel and Fleurette for dinner.
