Finally Gone

After about 7 weeks of dedicated work my children are finally nit free.  We have tried pharmacy bought products to erradicate them, tried dirty hair, tried tea tree oil and I have finally come to the conclusion that after 7 weeks of trying daily combing is the best way to solve the nit problem. 

Now all I need to do is keep them away.

This week I am going to be away on holiday so my menu will not be posted.  Instead I am going post this new recipe I tried tonight.  Mmmmm.  Thanks to Deb for sharing it will me

Quick Quiche


Serves: 6

Points per Serve: 3

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:


Olive Oil Spray

Asparagus Spears 1 bunch, cut into 4 lengths (OR 1 tin. Drained)

Weight Watchers Bacon 4 slices cut into thin strips

Feta Cheese – reduced fat 60 grams, crumbled

Self-raising Flour ½ cup (75 grams)

Eggs 3

Evaporated Skim Milk 375 ml can

Preheat oven to 180 C. Spray a 23 cm pie or 4 cup (1 litre) Quiche dish, lightly with oil. Place asparagus into a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes, then drain well.

Spray a medium non-stick frying pan lightly with oil and place over medium heat. Cook bacon for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle feta, bacon and asparagus over the base of dish.

Sift flour into a bowl and gradually add combined eggs and milk, stirring with a whisk. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour in the dish.

Bake for 35 minutes, until set and golden brown. Cool slightly, then cut into wedges to serve.

I was so hungry when diner was ready that I forgot to take a photo with the food.  Instead here is the empty dish...yes the dish was made by me.

My Voice

My voice is my tool.  I can't go to work without my voice as I am a teacher, I cant make conversation.  In fact there is very little that I can do without my voice working.  So this week, as I have been working everyday, my voice has been affected by a common cold.  Yes that's all it can take to interfere with the power I need to talk all day. 

It is amazing though how well children can respond when you use your voice differently to preserve it.

I don't doubt that my voice will return when the school term has finished and I can actually rest it.  Having a sore voice then having to use it complicates it and now it is strained a little.  Not good.

So in order to save my sore voice and add a bit of humour to my day here is my sore voice.

I guess I had better stop talking now so that my voice has a chance to recover for my working day tomorrow.
