Revisited an old recipe:

- Your fave ravioli
- Chicken
- Pumpkin
- Creme fraiche and wholegrain mustard sauce
- Black pepper
- Parmesan cheese

Cook first three separately. Toss with the sauce. Add parmesan and black pepper.

I also added leftover pulled pork.

Surat Bay, Catlins, New Zealand.

NZ.

The Surat was a three-masted ship which hit a rock (causing hull damage) and was then deliberately beached on New Year's Day in 1874. Fortunately, all 271 passengers and 37 crew made it to safety.

Recently played Sorry for the first time maybe since I was a kid. Lots of fun - and a bit vicious!

Cracked up at a video Sam Neill posted at his vineyard today - in the middle of summer! I think Christchurch has only topped 20C 3 or 4 days all year. Fingers crossed for a lovely Feb/March, though.

So nobody told me about Peter Krause. Okay. We can still be friends. Maybe.

I know, I know. He's been around 'forever' - but I have never watched one of his series. (I know. I know. Head hung.)

But OMG *this era* Peter Krause? Captain Nash is *starting* fires.

Also, 9-1-1 is so damn good. #binge

We did foolishly book the Routeburn track to start the same day we finished the Milford track; as we were a day late, we had to cancel the Routeburn. Lesson learned: next time I'd book a night in Milford then start the second track, 'just in case'.

Did Milford back in 2018 (egads, how is it that long ago?). Got rain-delayed on the second night. Only 13 of the group of 40 went forward the next day. Rain and wind (and no view at this spot) but possibly my best day hiking EVER. The waterfalls....

Honestly, why do people do this?

And why do people fall for it?

(First question answered by the second, and second question answered by the first...)

Report and block, folks.

1980.

Saw Icehouse in concert 4-5 years ago. Had only been vaguely aware of them before. MAGIC.

Always been rather partial to the library in New Brighton, too. Lovely view (even with the sunshade pulled down).

Every now and then I remember this weird little combo and put it on a cracker and am transported to a happy place.

Ritz/Snax cracker with peanut butter, mustard (Dijon, this time), and sharp cheddar cheese.

Don't skimp on the mustard, either.

You're welcome.

Same idea but with a salad.

Pre-dressing, but I topped it with mayo and sweet chilli sauce. Salad was iceberg with jalapenos, another pickled pepper, tomato, and two types of pickles (dill and sweet).

Guitar Town (Steve Earle)

Cracker debut album (1986). I've been on this ride with Steve ever since. He's still routinely top 5 on my playlists.
