Pom Poms

I made Pom Poms at work.. We are having a Christmas Decoration Competition and since I am admin and don't actually have a team, I adopted myself to the closest team to me. Thakfully, they love my DIY efforts even though they are kind of poor!

I also made a cool star made from paper. It took ages and so I only made one. If I get more time, perhaps I will make more.

Frittata

I love a nice frittata so I was very happy when S's brother who is a chef gave me this recipe.

Asparagus, Pancetta and Coriander frittata.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus

100g Pancetta

Half a bunch of shallots cut up

6 eggs

A dash of milk

salt and pepper to season

Half a cup of cut up Coriander

To make:

1. Take a piece of pancetta and wrap it around a stalk of asparagus and repeat with all of the asparagus.

2. Fry the asparagus/pancetta in a pan to seal the pancetta (so it doesn't fall off)

3. Take that out of your pan and then fry up your shallots

4. Whisk together your eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper

5. Cut up the asparagus/pancetta so that there are 2cm pieces.

6. Place the pieces and the shallots in an oven baking dish and pour the egg mixture over the top

7. Sprinkle the coriander over the top

8. Cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes on about 200 degrees celcius (I have a really old oven, so we have to use it at about 200 for anything to cook)

 

It tastes devine.. Hopefully my recipe isn't too confusing!

Apologies about the crappy pic!

Such a slacker!

Obviously life got the better of me and I was too busy (lazy) to blog.

I'm currently sitting at a different work desk to my own because my computer got a virus... How, I don't know. I hope they fix it soon!

Anyway, lots has happened since my last post and my life is getting busier again. I got an IPhone finally, so I will fill in my absence with photos from my phone.

I'm actually blogging from my phone, so I'm hoping this works..

I went on holidays and then forgot about my blog!

S and I had a great time in New Zealand. The scenery was amazing and everyone is so friendly! Here are a few snaps that I have saved on my work computer

This was on the way to Milford Sound - snow everywhere!

Lake Tekapo

Christchurch - so very sad to see!

Teddy, our dog stayed at a schanuzer boarding place and was sufficiently worn out by the time we picked him up. We were told he had a fantastic time and we are very thankful that he had such good accommodation where people loved him just as much as we do!

Since holidays, I have gotten stuck in to some uni work...so nothing too exciting.

S and I booked plane tickets to our next destination - Japan! Yay

Hakuba had the first snow drop over the weekend!
