Flat out like a lizard

Had a busy busy day - I started out by trying a recipe for crackers, which is just basically a flour, butter, milk mix, but I added parmesan cheese and dried onion, which turned out quite tasty :). From there I dismantled DS13's front brakes on his bike, as they were true Kamikaze weapons. There's something wierd about the brakes - they just don't want to play the game. Further investigation is required.

After that, I rushed through a hair wash and bolted to uni, only to find that the class I thought I had today is actually on tomorrow. Since the one I walked in on was the same subject only a different unit, I stuck around anyway.

Picked up the mail on the way home, and my Queensland Arrowroot had arrived! Yay! After a trip to get some more potting mix, I planted all but one, which got the taste test. Verdict: not too bad at all. Pretty bloody good, actually! DS13, who hates potato, was impressed with the steamed tuber, and would have had the lot if I'd let him.

So while I was in planting mode, I also put in the seeds I got from the markets yesterday. I'm running out room along the back fence. Will have to work something out, as that's the best spot sunwise. I can't put too many pots on the grass or the lawn nazis will have me (I live in a caravan park).

Anyway, after the planting and taste-testing, I whipped up a batch of home-made icecream, which I've yet to try (apart from licking all utensils and bowls involved in its creation) because it's taking too long to freeze properly - waaaaah!

All in all a productive day. :)
