Great movie, I may have been dreaming, but I'm sure that I was speaking to someone recently who said they were going to a 'dress up as a gang from the warriors' party.......

Budget is saved by lucky coincidence

In a stunning coup an office worker in South Melbourne, managed to secure a free interstate flight this afternoon

"Just don't talk about it, we might get away with it", an unnamed source was quoted as saying.

It's a Jaime Oliver recipe, but I still like it.....

Chickpea and Leek Soup

1 can of chickpeas

1 medium potato, peeled

6 leek, finely, sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

knob of butter

2 cloves of garlic, finely, sliced

salt

freshly ground pepper

850 ml chicken or vegetable stock

2 handful parmesan cheese, grated

extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Cook the potato until tender.

Remove the outer skin of the leeks, slice lengthways from the root up, wash carefully and slice finely.

Warm a thick-bottomed pan, and add the tablespoon of oil and the knob of butter. Add the leeks and garhc to the pan, and sweat gently with a good pinch of salt until tender and sweet.

Add the drained chickpeas and potato and cook for 1 minute. Add about two-thirds of the stock and simmer for 15 minutes.

Purée half the soup in a food processor and leave the other half chunky this gives a lovely smooth comforting feel but also keeps a bit of texture.

Now add enough of the remaining stock to achieve the consistency you like. Check for seasoning, and add Parmesan to taste to round off the flavours.

Serve with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a grinding of black pepper and an extra sprinkling of Parmesan.

I've been making sveltey's pie, but I like to do it with lamb, with lots of thyme and rosemary, and cook the meat for longer to make it nice and soft. Delish!

Sheik had the right info then....

Hey Foxy, can I come with you next week if you're going? I haven't knitted anything since last year, and now we've (almost) finished with moving, I'll have time......

Adam Spencer is in my office right now

Have you tried the Asian grocer on corner of Elizabeth St and Victoria St? When I've got them before they've been frozen and you boil them, yumbo.
