Today, Australia,
This morning I have to be at the hospital for 8:30 (well a bit earlier to register I think) - a horrible thing to have to get up before the crack of dawn and get to Cambridge which is in the next town. They will then give me an injection and ask me to disappear for roughly 2 hours - I then have to return and get a bone scan. This will show the medics whether arthritis is rampaging in my hip or not. Guess what, I am not writing this today as I am not here!
We are supposed to be bowling this afternoon but I have no idea if we will make it in time.
Last night we watched the video of Australia which we both found very slow at first. In the end it got to be very interesting, but there was a point where we nearly turned it off. There were a lot of places in the movie where Nicole Kidman spoke so softly you couldn't hear what she was saying, in other places the boy, Brandon Walters or Nullah spoke so quickly in his Australian accent we had trouble figuring out what he was saying. Eventually the story picked up and we enjoyed it. Although it wasn't really what I expected. A large part of the story was the background of how the white people were rounding up aboriginal children and taking them away to missions, this was just before the second world war. The Australian PM apologised for this just last year.
I promised to share another favourite recipe from Microwave Magic with you. This used to be a great favourite. Again, I have not made it for a long time and I am not sure why.
Pasta with Onions and Red Cabbage
Source: Microwave Magic
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup butter
1 large heard red cabbage, cored and shredded
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1 package (8 oz) wide egg noodles
Place onion, garlic and 1/4 cup of the butter in a 4-quart round casserole or bowl. Cook on high (600-700 watts) until onion is very tender, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring once. Stir in shredded cabbage, salt and paprika, tossing mixture to blend well. Dot mixture with remaining butter. Cover and return to the microwave for 10 minutes.
While cabbage is cooking, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles and add to cooked cabbage, tossing to combine. Return to microwave for 3 to 5 minutes to heat through before serving, if necessary.
Have a great day.
