How to apologise without actually apologising by cooking breakfast and in turn making yourself out to be Martha freaking Stewart

Yep exactly as the title suggests I successfully earned massive brownie points all by cooking a simple and easy breakfast!! 
A couple of weeks ago I had been slightly cranky towards the HOTH all day on the Saturday so on the Sunday morning I decided to cook him breaky.  This was after I slept on the lounge with the baby and had been up since 6 with both boys.  I know I am such a matyr!!
At 830am I started cooking it was done by 9 and I was the best!!
I love easy no fuss meals and this was exactly that.  I used 6 eggs as I knew the vultures/children would want some even though they had had breakfast earlier.  I only had 5 pieces of bacon so the last one was all egg and that worked perfectly so its a good option for vegetarians.  I added a handful of grated cheese in too. I followed the recipe just used less ingredients and it worked and looked exactly like the picture!!  Once the very basic prep was done it cooked itself which I love!!

I also made my Chili and Garlic Mushrooms
  • Get some mushrooms.  You can chop them or leave them whole.
  • Put them in a saucepan with some crushed garlic, a chopped whole chili and a small amount of butter.  I like garlic so I put a couple of cloves in and I take the seeds out of the chili.  There is no need to add the butter but it makes a sauce.
  • I cook them on high for a minute then turn it to low, put the lid on and leave it for about half an hour, stirring if and when I think about it.
  • Serve with whatever  It was seriously good with the eggs and toast!!
  • Enjoy!!
The HOTH actually got up just before I served it but was very impressed by my efforts although I did confess that it took very little effort!!

This why I love the internet and blogging so much  I love discovering things like this!!  Thanks to kirsten for this fantastic idea!! I will also be trying her http://kirstenandco.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/gnocchi-topped-cottage-pie.html in the next couple of weeks too!!
Sometimes all it takes is something so simple to make a big difference to someones life!!

FFS FRIDAY- FIGJAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Dear Baby G

Friday again.  The weeks are flying by.  FFS

The $15 dvd player has given up working.  FFS

Ok I am secretly happy about that for 2 reasons.  1.  I may be able to now get a dvd recorder and 2.  if I see Cars, Cars 2, Toy story 2 or any Fireman Sam dvd again in the near future I may become homicidal.  FFS

Just for the record I put dvds on when the kids are up at 5am and I have not had any coffee yet or on a rainy day which funnily enough has gone on all week.  FFS

Just who is up watching the tour de freaking france in the middle of the night which meant "one born every minute" was not on last night.  FFS

Why are concert promoters so greedy?  To go to the PLAYSCHOOL show they classed a child as 12 months and up.  FFS

Makes me sound like a tight ass but seriously what a rort.  No playschool show for us even if Jay is performing.  FFS

I managed to cook something in the crappy rental oven without burning or under cooking it.  FFS

The HOTH's precious IPAD died on tuesday causing all sorts of withdrawal problems.  Apparently I should have channelled Steve Jobs to fix it.  FFS

He sorted it on Wednesday morning and has been happy ever since.  FFS

Meanwhile I got a message from vodafone saying I had used all my data for the month.  FFS

On the topic of phones I hate the new facebook on my phone and blogger is in french.  FFS

If either child takes my phone and uses it again I will scream. FFS

They are the reason I have no data or batteries.  FFS

This video is the reason I have no batteries.  It is the only thing guaranteed to stop the baby from crying.  FFS

We all want to go back to Fiji ASAP. FFS

The 3 year old is asking santa for a phone for christmas.  FFS

Christmas gives me the shits.  FFS

What a random collection of complaints this week.  FFS

Thats it for me with one last thing.  I am awarding myself a FIGJAM award.  (I totally made it up but I think its cool).
Wednesday morning at 430am I called pj day which was well needed and fun until Wednesday night I realised I had very little milk.  Being the good mother/ martyr I am I did not use all the milk in my coffee and was desperately searching the pantry for long life milk on thursday morning when I discovered some cartons of long life chocolate milk.  Yes I may have discovered the best thing i  the world COFFEE WITH CHOCOLATE MILK.  SO for that I simply say FIGJAM!!!!!!!!!!
