The necessary appointments always feel better if we can get out and enjoy ourselves as well. The meatloaf was good in that it lasted us a while. I did feel that my biscuits were perhaps a bit too healthy for such competition but I felt I did well to get some biscuits into the competition. (and to be fair, I bought a gingernut and they were very good)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81225766276778414322013-03-25T21:20:23.449+11:002013-03-25T21:20:23.449+11:00Thanks Lucy - a good dressing does so much for a p...Thanks Lucy - a good dressing does so much for a pile of vegies - sorry to hear about your dubious food but I am sure you will make amends at home :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-29402152935179025392013-03-25T21:19:41.848+11:002013-03-25T21:19:41.848+11:00Thanks Mel - it is amazing when you tally up the l...Thanks Mel - it is amazing when you tally up the little things in the week and see just how much has been going on - CERES is a great place and I partly did the cake competition to support the place so that felt good!

Your posts are keeping me very entertained at the moment - although they are always entertaining, but you seem to be doing lots of extra interesting things. I am so impressed you entered the baking competition, and I would definitely have voted your chocolate raspberry digestives above plain old gingernuts. I chuckled at the thought of you dropping the tray at seeing their colour though (and relate, after some of my purple carrot baking experiences...).<br /><br />Baking and outings sound far more enjoyable than medical procedures and 4-year-old vaccinations so I hope you've got those sorts of things out the way for some time. The salad and meatloaf look like a good dinner option for such weeks.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-54099609516788306352013-03-25T21:15:27.966+11:002013-03-25T21:15:27.966+11:00Thanks Katie - it was a bit crazy and Sylvia was s...Thanks Katie - it was a bit crazy and Sylvia was so tired she fell asleep in the car on the way home - I think we were all quite tired and had a quite day on Sunday!
