Friday Five & Music

01. Homemade curry for dinner. Delish.
02. Cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. The flat is looking sparkly.
03. New seeds planted, hopefully they grow and it warms up so I can move my little greenhouse operation outside.
04. Invitation mock up looking great. I am excited that we decided to do these ourselves.
05. Great workout this A.M., despite the gym opening late for Good Friday. I can run for 13 minutes now!!


Music this week: The Avett Brothers (Emotionalism); Mumford & Sons; The Cinematic Orchestra (To Make a Home)

Everybody's working for the weekend.

Today was the longest day ever. Also my brain is barely fuctioning, I am so excited about my trip to Maryland.

So this is for NaBloPoMo. It is not much substance. But I am here, my voice in my little corner of the interwebs.

In no particular order, things that happened today:

* I cut my finger whilst chopping potatoes
* Up early to shop at the ski outlet store.
* Chicken and vegetable pasty for lunch. NOM.
* Thought about leaving work early today, it was SO boring.
* Told everyone at work who would listen about my trip.
* Made lots of photocopies, planning for future activities and completed some word searches.
* Visited some friends for a few laughs and tea.

There has got to be more than this.

I am stuck in a rut. A dinner rut, that is. I rotate the same ten or twelve meals and frankly, I am getting sick of it. Not sure whether C cares, but I'm sure he would be happy to have more variety.

Things I cook on a regular basis:

-Chicken Broccoli stir fry
-Mexican Beans and rice
-Chili
-Chicken, Mashed Potato and [insert vegetable]
-Turkey (or beef) burgers, wedges and raw vegetables
-Soup and toast or sandwich
-Mexican inspired food that fits in a tortilla
-Chicken and vegetable Curry
-Vegetarian Lasagne (C is not overly keen on this and then I end up with a lot of food leftover)
-Pasta

I need to find some inspiration for new, easy (and healthy!) dinners. Do you have a favourite dinner? Share the love? In the meantime, I guess I will pore over my cookbooks, Google and Martha Stewart for inspiration.
