~Cooking with JoJo's Day Programme (2), fires and a new softie~

It's pretty cold here on the South Coast this weekend

For the first time in years we don't have a real fireplace......but it's coming!!!

So I couldn't resist this DVD above of a fireplace LOL

Apparently psychologically looking at it can make you feel warmer by 10c so we're testing it out this weekend!!!

Recently I went in again to JoJo's Day Programme to do a little cooking with the gang

This time it was Chicken and Lemongrass Laksa from donna hay magazine 10th Anniversary Issue Oct/Nov 2012

Above are some of the ingredients that have been chopped and trimmed for the Laksa

Stock in along with Curry Paste, Garlic, Coconut Milk and Fish Sauce

With Snow Peas and Mint Leaves added

Rice Noodles in

and here 'tis

Lovely, tasty and oh so warming

Perfect for a day like today!!!

Meanwhile last week I had to have this cat when visiting Braidwood Maker's Market

I just loved the colours.......no wonder apparently the maker said they were colours from 1875

And this little cat is sitting right next to our 'fire'

Hope you are keeping warm, having something nice to eat and hopefully get some stitching in......Dzintra xo
