Grey November Day



Ugly, huh? This was around 3 p.m.!
We went for a walk anyway.

And I wonder...

Who´d be willing to pay money for a lamp like this?!:



I might buy this lemon squeezer, though!!!



I really could squeeze lemon after lemon on Chancellor Merkel´s face. I even could call her "Angie" doing so! Keeps on talkin 'bout recession, handing over money "symbolically". Great idea. I guess next time I refilled my car, I´m gonna step in and pay "symbolically" - let´s see what the guys in real life think of that?

Gone with bad thoughts, though!
It wasn´t a real success, maybe no really worth the job. But with a wee bit of imagination I felt like being back in Darwin - may I present: Our first cheese-spinach pie!



The dough wasn´t good. We used ready-to-go pizza dough and ready-to-go puff pastry for the top. Why do those darn things come in squares, huh?! Maybe we should do the dough on our own.
The filling was just YUM, though! :-)

Have you ever been in Darwin? If you go make sure you not only see/experience Tracy, but also stop by at the Fannie Bay Goal. Go early in the morning, be the first to enter the cell in the maximum security prison... you gonna find out that.... and when you turn round to leave the quickest you can, you find out you can not. The door is so darn small and people keep coming in...

Hmmm... long time ago. Memory still fresh as if it was yesterday. Just it wasn´t, it was 13 years ago! And when we came back in 1999 I had to find out... the shop I used to buy those super-yummy spinach-cheese-pies was no more.

So you can say: Today we revived my tastebuds from 1999!
I always used to buy at least two pies. Ate one, left the other(s) right underneath the car´s windscreen. That way it /they stayed hot all day :-)

Best thoughts to fight a grey November Day like this one!

Where can you get such groovy things? You pie looks just like what I rememebr having eaten. You did a good job. I tried to make the pies that I rememerbed, and even had a recipe from the Australians Womans Weekly, but it just didn´t work. Will try with premade pizza dough!!!!!!!

The lemon squeezer looks like Angela Merkel. With that look the lemons would probably squeeze themselves.

Must say I had cheese and spinach pies before and it it actually truly nice. My work email "lost" your address because I did not use it enough, can you email me again on Monday, would love to still stay in touch, my system is up and running again after I've been off line for a day or two.
Catch ya then.

Premade pizza dough wasn´t the hit for pies. Not when you have left-overs and reheat them. Doesn´t work at all.
