Its been so long since I've played Polly Dolly. I missed some seriously good ones while we were away. I hate that.
So this week is pleats . I love this dress. I don't own much with polka dots, I think I need to change that.

To play along or check out some of the other pleat Polly is wearing head to Danimezza 

New Recipe Saturday

This is my new recipe for the week, I made this for Michael's lunches and by the sounds of it he liked it. It was meant to be quiche, but I had too much ingredients and my dish was too small so its more of a spinach pie. Oh well.

Ingredients:

A 250gm packet of frozen spinach.

4 rashers of bacon (rind removed.)

3 shallots

3 eggs

1tbsp cream

1 sheet of shortcrust pastry

salt and pepper

Method:

Fry the bacon, shallots and spinach until the bacon has some colour, set aside to cool. Whisk egg and cream together and add to the cooled mix with a generous helping of salt and pepper. If you have a bigger pie dish than I do maybe use a few more eggs. Line a pie dish with the pastry (I had no shortcrust so used puff instead, it still works) I'd suggest using baking paper as well so it will come out easily. Add mix to pie dish cook at 180 for around 45 minutes or until the middle is set and no longer wobbly (very technical cooking term). Serve with your favorite sauce.

PUSH~JUMP

This weeks theme for PUSH is jump. We have a kick ass trampoline in our yard so where better to jump?

If I'd thought about it I probably would have put a nicer outfit on. Sorry about that.

Of course once I was on the trampoline everyone else wanted to join in. Its not often your mum gets on the tramp with you.

Now this isn't really pushing my own photographic skills, but Jack Jacks. Not bad for a six year old I say. Considering I don't think I have ever let him hold my camera before in his life!

You really have to have a go it is a hilariously fun thing to do.

Go over to Hello Owl to see how everyone else jumped!

Nerd love

Here is my nerdy kid.

I snapped this of him this morning and he didn't even realise I was standing there.

While the rest of us were trying to get ready for the day and leave the house on time Jack was reading a book in the tiny spot of sun that's in our lounge room in the morning. On the floor are his shoes which I'd asked him to put on, about half an hour beforehand.

A while ago I was getting a bit sad and angry because he was having some trouble with the kids at school not wanting to play in the playground with him. But today he informed me he and his friends go to the computer lab at lunch time.

I love that at six he's already found nerdy friends.

My place and yours
