Lock me up, Buttercup Baby!!!
Saturday, 5 February 2005
Have been sleeping ginormously. Last night I made the Blueberry and lemon cheesecake and took it to Mark and Di’s. We had asparagus risotto for tea too, and a nice Tasmanian wine. We watched MIT. I had to take them LOST as they missed it. I hope the lovely Labrador in LOST is nice and safe. I also had lunch with Pauline and 2 of the sprogs. We went to the Muffin Kitchen and shared a Fruit and Vegetable Platter and a Ploughman’s Lunch. The food was all excellent and with 2 pots of tea it was only $16. The girls had huge sundaes and iced chocolates and muffins!!! Today I went tot Little Aths and saw some relays and some long jumping – which is why Pauline came up. After standing for 2 hours I had to sleep for 4 ½ hours this afternoon. We have had more thunderstorms today, but there are some poor people who live less than 40 km out of town who still have no power and won’t have power till tomorrow at the earliest. Cows can’t be milked, the seahorse farm had to buy diesel generators to aerate the tanks as the fish were dying, you can’t get petrol as the bowsers run by electricity. It is a joke in this day and age. I am saved from totally ravaging the Hydro as we do have hydro power and that assuages my 21st century guilt!!!
Now how is this for proving what a fascist state Australia is becoming? A woman was found wandering in northern Australia by some aborigines and she was confused and unwell and had a bit of a German accent. The police took her, questioned her and then put her in the Baxter Detention Centre, our camps where we lock up refugees, and yes you read that correctly, we lock them up. Well, as she appeared disturbed and had a bit of an accent they locked her up , and she was in solitary confinement or whatever they call it. The other ‘detainees’ noticed she was eating dirt and behaving strangely, but in over 10 weeks, nothing was done. Someone took a photo of her and her family read about it and identified her and she was freed. Her family had listed her missing 10 months ago and the police had all her details and a photo. Amanda Vanstone, the Minister for Locking up Innocent Refugees said that she gave conflicting information to the police. So she was locked up in a Detention Centre. Let us all be on our guard against this Government, in July the have total control of the House of Review, the Senate and all is lost.
Now, what shall I write about food??
Watermelon CrushySlush
2 kg watermelon, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tbspn caster sugar
1 cup ice cubes
Place ½ the watermelon in a blender and process till smooth. Add rest of ingredients and blend 30 seconds or ill just well combined. Pour into small decorative glasses, on more crushed ice if you like and serve with Turkish delight. You can use flavoured ice cubed if you like – lemon or gingery might be nice!!!
