Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky : Stormy weather
What a wild and windy and wet day we had yesterday and last night. Rain, 130 km winds, my tree fell over, roofs were ripped off schools and houses, 30 000 people had no power : not me amazingly!!! And it might not be reconnected for 2 days, floods, and sleet and snow and Melbourne had 150 ml, or 6 inches of rain, and as I type it is all beginning again. In the middle of Summer we are having atypical but not unexpected weather. On our island we have 100 times more weather per square cm than any other place on Earth. Heaps of my time is spent debating exactly what I should be wearing to cater for all the climate changes the day will bring!!! The night was so wild I slept badly and didn't wake up till 10 am. I have not had a nap today in the hope of a good sleep tonight.
Tomorrow I am off to lunch with Pauline at The Muffin Kitchen my all time favourite lunch place and then to Di and Mark's for tea.
The debate about abortion is up and running again, with a few misogynistic male politicians sparking it. 99% of the other politicians, male and female, are throwing cold water on the debate : they say the status quo is fine. Of course all the partriarchal religions are ready to ban women from doing everything as per usual. And the Pope is ill, though I hold out no hope for a progressive successor as he will have anointed a fellow conservative. No wonder the RC church is in such dire straits. It is run by old men who have no idea what it is to live in the 21st century.
Now, a recipe for today.......
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Slice
360 g white chocolate, chopped
400 g dark chocolate, chopped
140 g peanut butter ( or any nut butter you like)
matching toasted nuts!!!
Grease and line a 20 x 30 cm pan. Melt white and dark chocolate separately, cool, then stir peanut butter into the white chocolate. Drop spoonfuls of each mixture into the pan and swirl together. Stand 2 hours at room temperature for 2 house or till set. Here though, I'd refrigerate it!!!
