The State of Me
Well, I decided I'd try to be a bit more active (really, active at all) on DW, and then Tumblr pulled the plug. So, for anyone stopping by, this is me. Modified from

Decisions to be made.
It's been ten years this week since we moved to the US, which is the longest we've lived any place. We got green cards a few years back and are eligible to apply for citizenship. We tease G2 that as the only American-born member of the family, she's our presidential hopeful - and that we hope she's not the first female ( Read more... ) -

Easy olive bread
G1's current favourite recipe! Hardly any kneading, but it's best made in the evening and cooked the following morning. At least, that's the timing that works best for us!

Scones
I just realised I don't have my scone recipe up here, even though (or maybe because) I make it so often. They're really quick and easy, even more so if you do it in a food processor ( Read more... ) -
Lamb patties and griddle bread
"Middle Eastern", for want of a better description. Sometimes I form the lamb into balls, and cook in a cinnamon-flavoured tomato sauce, to eat with rice and grilled zukes and peppers. Tonight I made patties, and had them as burger on flatbread rolls with a tomato and cucumber salad, and strained yoghurt. The girls love it either way, and it's an ( Read more... )
