Meat-free Monday

I'm not a huge meat fan. I used to eat meat, yes, but for about a year now I've kinda gone off it. I've started to cook more vegetarian meals lately, which is difficult when you have a husband that prefers his meal still, well, mooing.

Mr Wicked was very happy tonight. Bean nachos was on the menu, his favourite, from the cookbook Martha Goes Green. We added corn to it, which is really nice, but a little too much chilli....  Still, it was very yum. Mr Wicked has lunch tomorrow now too.

Friday I'm in Love

My five favourites this week:

1.  Family and friends. I love them all to bits. And since my last post my dad has turned 60, and my mum 21 again. Happy happy birthday mum and dad xoxo.

2.  Gin and icy cold lemonade. Very nice. Especially when my husband and I scrubbed down every inch of mould on our back deck. It made it all better.

3.  Op shopping.  I have found the best fabrics lately when sifting through Vinnies and Lifeline stores.  All they need is a good wash with some Napisan, plus the money spent goes right back to the community.  I've found lots of cute little ceramic owls there too, will post a photo later in Flickr.

4.  Globe Theatre.  My longtime friend Kristian runs really cool movies there,  like Sixteen Candles which we saw last night. They also play Rocky Horror, which includes Kristian's Cards For Sorrow floorshow group. Highly entertaining.

5.  Martha Goes Green.  This cookbook has changed me.  I've got millions of cookbooks in my kitchen, but none of them have been used more than this one.  I highly recommend the chickpea couscous salad, and serving it with a slice of fried haloumi.  And that gin and lemonade too. Mmmm.

Have a happy Friday everyone.
