Apart from becoming an expert grass-puller and wood-chipper, I've also learned some good cooking tips from Lyndsay (who is Chinese): e.g. you can stir fry lettuce (tastes good), pumpkin leaves and stems can be dumped in the wok too, and you can make authentic sweet and sour sauce using only soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar. Also learned some interesting things about diet and health whilst reading my way through David's literature: What Doctors Don't Tell You is the most memorable read (thay have a website) - some of the information is really quite scary.
I've now started flicking through my wwoof booklet to find my next location... exciting!
Below are some pictures from my balcony:
Sunset
During the day (the piddly trees are the mandarin orchard that we later mulched, and the lake behind is great for swimming)
Pumpkin leaves - can't get them over here - have to stick to lettuce! Enjoy Auckland - will it be back to stripping again? Ma xxx

ReplyDeleteYep, she told me - what's the verdict pa? Did you notice?
I think that "funky" = hairdressers code for "not bad for your age" rather than "mutton dresed as lamb", etc. Needless to say, I am still very happy with both the packaging and contents -- and the hair suits as well, so I did notice.
