Takeaway tonight. Too tired from preparing food all day to make dinner as well.

Chicken skewers on the fire pit with char-grilled veg and a rocket salad.

Plus a big slab of danish feta cheese

Clem's fried chicken pieces with potato bake, cauliflower in cream sauce and chips, haven't had Clem's for so long and really enjoyed the salty tasty goodness, haven't enjoyed fried chicken that good in a very long time.

Seeing it suppose to 42 c in the inner west tomorrow i bought what i need for dinner tomorrow today so i don't have to go out into the heat wave tomorrow apart from watering some plants very early before the heat sets in.
Bought some nice banana prawns today and will cook them in some left over mussel and tomato chili sauce i froze, might throw some cherry tomatoes in with them but keeping it very simple.Also picked up some nice peri peri chicken wings from one of the local shops and will reheat them as a starter .

This morning feels like New Years Day 2020 when the bushfires smashed through Lake Conjola/Conjola Park.

Fortunately there are no fires currently burning in our watch zone.

Nice cold salad with marinated mushrooms, cucumber, truss tomatoes and green olives stuffed with fetta.

I'm just debating whether to peel the prawns for dinner tonight now before having a shower to try and cool down.

I had three showers the other day as I'd had my usual late afternoon one but then decided to go out to IGA and then around to Woolies Metro. It had been so humid, I needed shower number 3 before bedtime.
I'm happy I can get gluten free Lebanese bread from The Lemon Tree Grocer at North Bondi as they were the corner shop who was giving away the bunches of flowers last month. I use the bread to make pizzas on the weekends as I don't like thick bases. Tonight I'm just going to keep it simple with tomato paste as the base, truss tomatoes, cheese and black olives.

Tomorrow I'll go out for more vege specials at 6am and will make mushroom, tofu, kale & corn stifry. Corn is so cheap at the moment and I got an ear for 99 cents.

The ears of corn have been excellent this season, even the $1 from Coles, so sweet. Going to peel the prawns before my shower just to get it out of the way, have some nice fresh egg pasta to cook with the prawns.

Thursday i ended up having three showers during the day, yesterday i had three also if you count the one when i got out of the pool at Allianz, it was more of a rinse till i had a proper shower when i got home.

I still use lavender products as they are excellent for sleeping in all kinds of weather. I got my corn from Coles online as when you get to the checkout point, all the 'reduced for quick sale' specials come up.

Prawns are peeled, looking at them now i wish i was doing a prawn and clam pizza but would have to use the oven for that although i am going to have to turn on the oven to heat up the chicken wings so happy the prawns will be cooked in the left over seafood sauce instead, i have kept some of the heads to chuck into the sauce while simmering to give it a bit more kick, have frozen the others and shells and guts and hopefully will take it as burley and bait if i go fishing next week, the one thing i did find fishing a long time back when the leatherjackets were biting and i was running out of prawns i started saving the heads instead of chucking in the water for burley and i managed 5 more jackets on the prawn heads to add to my bucket of fish, have to admit with the prawn heads they were harder to hook than the straight prawn meat on the hook. I still left them biting that day but had already gone over my bag limit of fish landed, even though i have had great catches of leatherjackets over the years i have never seen them as veracious as this day.

Mate went up to Nowra fresh and was kind enough to pick up 6 Blue Swimmer Crabs.

Crab pasta could be on the cards.

Left over salads from today’s family bbq lunch.

Chicken and mushroom lasagna tonight. Will have the peri peri chicken wings i got on Friday as a starter as i didn't want to turn the oven on yesterday with the heat.
Also just blitzed up four large bags of bread crumbs from the left over bread and crusts that we froze, it is so much better than store bought crumbs.
