Call it What you Prefer!

 The other evening I made something out of a recipe in my head to eat.  I'm sharing it, it was ever so tasty for both my husband and myself.  I presume many people make recipes out of their head and enjoy the food.  I haven't a clue what to call it, so it's called, *What you Prefer*, for now. Of course, you can put whatever fruit or salad even meat as you like.  This is what I put in it.

A little of this and that which was:

small amount of spiral pasta
4 sweet bite tomatoes
iceberg lettuce
cucumber
celery
capsicum, red, green and yellow
golden kiwi fruit
green grapes
salad dressing
All cut up fairly fine and little of each, toss and add the dressing.

The meat, I used a chicken breast, sliced through the middle then cut into small strips.
Put cornflour in a dish, place the chicken in that dish and cover chicken with cornflour as it makes the chicken melt in your mouth when cooked.
Oil in the frypan just normal amount to fry something, then I added the chicken and cooked till cooked and a bit brown, but don't cook too long because it's thin and the frypan is hot.  The last thing you want to do is dry the chicken out or overcook it.

Place some salad in a big bowl, cooked chicken pieces on the top, squeeze half of a fresh lemon juice onto the chicken and eat.

 This is what it looked like before I added grapes and golden kiwi fruit, next photo when the latter was added.


Hard boiled egg and red onion I could have added but didn't bother.

Out the Front

This is the front of our house just after we redid the garden about 2 years ago.  The little hedge around the front of the garden bed are 'Dwarf Nandinas'. 





Two years later after the pruning of the shrubs except the Dwarf Nandinas, they will not be touched.  For a better look just click on the image and it will be larger. 






Banksia Roses white and yellow are growing up the lattice.  We used to have these roses growing there years ago and removed when they became too large, it will be nice when the new ones grow as the old ones did.
