My One Hundredth Post ...
Wow, this appears to be my 100th post ... at least that's what Blogger Dashboard tells me !! I think that's pretty exciting, don't you ?!?!
Today is Wednesday 22nd March, 2006, in sunny Melbourne, Australia. We are expecting around 28ºC today, with the next few days forecast to be in the 30s ... a lovely extended Summer in my part of the world. The weather has been glorious for the Commonwealth Games ... Go Aussies !!
I got a lovely surprise when I went to my letter box yesterday ... a package from DayByDay. It is a gorgous package, with all sorts of wonderful goodies in it. Have a look ...
DayByDay put together some great stuff ... now how did she know I loved cats !! There are some great toe-socks ... Winter is not too far away, they will certainly come in handy !! Some gorgeous earrings that she made ... check out her jewellery site, she makes some amazing stuff. Some beautiful postcards ... now I know what it looks like where DayByDay lives. Some yummy Michigan cherry-almond Milk Chocolate Wafer chockies, some Scooby stickers, a gorgeous "Meow" magnet, a bookmark, a hat pin, a sticky note pad and a daily planner (don't think I forgot anything !!). She also made an amazing card, with quilling ... such a clever artistic person, she is. Thank you, thank you, thank you, DayByDay. I absolutely love what you sent me. Your package is on it's way, in the next couple of days. I doubt Australia Post will be as quick as yours was, though !!
I decided to cook myself one of my all-time favorite meals today. I guess it is sort of comfort food, but it is really yummy. We call it Chow Mein, but it may not be anything like what you call Chow Mein. Here is how I made it ...
CHOW MEIN
1 pound mince beef
1/4 white cabbage - chopped
1 onion - chopped
1 dessert spoon curry powder (I add more .. yum !!)
3 teaspons sugar
2 cups water
2 soup spoons rice
1 packet chicken noodle soup
Seasoning to taste
Brown the mince and onions in a large-ish pot.
Put everything else into the pot, stir, bring to the boil, turn down to low, and cook for around 40 minutes (or until everything has collapsed and it is a nice mushy consistency, and the cabbage is no longer crunchy !!). Make sure you stir regularly, as it can stick quite nicely to the bottom of the pot (unless you have one of those fancy non-stick ones !!)
Anyway, it sounds kinda yucky, but is sooooooo yummy. Try it, I bet you love it !!
I'd better finish up now, as it is 10.30am, I haven't had breakfast yet (I have showered, however!!), and I need to do some housework. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.
Take care,
MEOW

I love Chinese food so I don't think the recipes sounds yucky at all. Those are really nice goodies you got in that package. DayByDay42day was really sweet to send you those.

Well, I've been at your site a couple of times before, but I think your 100th post deserves a comment! Congratulations! :-)
And what a wonderful package...I'm envious that you're in a hemisphere where you don't yet have need for toe socks!
I'm wondering if and when I had my 100th post... Enjoy your package while I think about it. I looooove your dancing cat. I'll say that a million times I'm sure.
