Re: Good Friday in Australia
Just finished cleaning the house now on to baking hot cross buns for the old man and making a shed load of profiteroles for a croquenbouche.
Weekends are for baking and trawling the internet for more recipes. :) |

Re: Good Friday in Australia
I love Good Friday in our house. As a lapsed Uniting Church heathen, I munch on a bacon sarnie while my Catholic hubby eats his cereal with a show of enthusiasm, while making sheep eyes at my plate when he thinks I'm not looking.

Well, the lasses room is now clean and :fingerscrossed: white tip free. Had a :ohmy: moment when I moved her bedside lamp only to find a lovely wee nest of the things where the shade had been pushed against the wall:ohmy:. They are no longer with us:sneaky:
It is now possible to move in her bedroom, although how long that will last for is anyone's guess :rolleyes: Off to bake some soda bread for our steak dinner tonight:thumbup: |

First proper two day break I've had for a few weeks and I'm poorly - oh woe! I'm poorly and bored, a bad combination. Actually, I'm poorly, bored and just a tad grumpy. I'm going to have to find some mischief, it's the only way to deal with it, well that and have a cup of tea. I don't like Good Friday. |

It's going to be a full-on day. I spent the day in Hervey Bay in a nice little Irish pub drinking Guinness & Kilkenny. 99% of places were shut but the important one that sold beer was a shining beacon like the burning bush. I even refrained from eating meat, choosing fish for lunch. Not because Jesus said so but because I had a mixed grill in the pub last night & fancied a grilled Barra fillet today. |

The Oh has baked over 500 hot cross buns this week.I think I would be nailed to the cross if I asked him to bake some for me today.:D
Btw he glazed his with maple syrup. Am now looking at new ovens. The shitty little one that the builders put in is too small and has hot spots. Looking at a nice big double sized stand alone oven now. |

I'm looking forward to Easter Sunday when I can tell the kids I've hidden golden easter eggs in the garden which they can find by using the strimmer.. it's handy that it's fallen on April 1st this year :) |

The wife can fix the rest :sneaky: Got a few other friends turning up so should be a pleasantly social day. We do have 5 Teenage boys in the house at present though, so I'll have to back up the Salmon with plenty of meat I would reckon.... Unless they're going home. Sons Skateboarding mates. :unsure::blink: I'm about to whack on 1.5k of continental snags and beans on for them and make going home hints to them.
GFriday here, especially with all the Mediterranean Catholics around where I live is quite a sombre affair, most shops shut, very quiet out and about, and the people you do see tend to be dressed in Sunday Best (Easter Best) Clothes as they head to the various churches for whatever Catholics do on these days. So How you spending your Good Friday ? |

You can't rush into these things you know and it takes me feeling really sick to bring myself to sort paperwork :D Have fun winding up your kids on Sunday! I like the idea of them having to strim to find their eggs though :D |
