Not so mysterious after all….
The guesses this week were very inventive and they certainly made me smile. (Thankyou).. Ree and Jayne also made me hungry for a nice cheese with some strawberries on the side . But alas no-one actually guessed what the mystery item was. So without any further waffle I present a photo of a swing…
cheers kim xxx….
Very mysterious mmmm…..
Without further ado It is my great pleasure to present “Today’s Mystery Object”… TADAAAAAA…
I pinched this from Trish (my little drummer boys)
Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I’m lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they’re so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don’t mind me asking,
Please bless my computer, too.
Now I know that it’s unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book [& THOSE WHO COMMENT ON MY BLOG]
That’s filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits ’send’ [POST].
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com
Amen
I pinched this from Trish from My little drummer boys.. Thanks heaps Trish 
untitled.. (the post formerly known as 42)
I like the number 42. It is a multiple of 7 and I like the number 7 as well. I dont like 8 and the number 5 always reminds me of Winston Churchill. Don’t ask, I have no idea.
I am 42. The answer to the meaning of life is 42 and it has been 42 days since my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Lung Cancer…. just saying it makes me shiver. Lung cancer is a ’sucked in we told you so its your own fault kind of cancer’. A ‘you brought it on yourself’ kind of cancer. Smokers cancer.
When I was a smoker It was the thought of mouth cancer that finally made me give up the fags. Not lung cancer, Hell I smoked 30 a day and didn’t even wheeze, though apparently I did smell (thanks Veronica)
I was talking to Veronica on the phone yesterday and she said that I am hard to talk to at the moment. I am sorry Sweetheart, the grown up logical side of my brain wants to hear all the stuff you have found out but the other 78% of me just wants to crawl into my mothers lap and have mum tell me that everything is going to be ok and that I am just having a bad dream. Dammit..
I want to paint. I want to do a really large blue and white painting. I want to go into my as yet unbuilt studio and throw all day, emerging at night covered in clay and tired enough to sleep. I want my life to be like a photograph of the sky. I just for once want things to be easy Dammit.
I am surrounded by half done things at the moment, half formed thoughts and half finished projects. As well as quite a few half written posts. Hi Mrs C, Hi Xbox, Hi River..
I have run out of time and I could save this post and finish it off later then it would also become another half finished thing cluttering up my head or I could just hit publish..
edited to add:- Something was broken.. I have no idea what was broken. eeeeeek… So I have just re-published this post and now I am sitting here with my fingers crossed that the comments are working and the “page not found” has become the “Yay page found..” *groan*

Mystery Object
Here we go mystery lovers, what do you reckon this is?
Wordless Wednesday… 30th July
More Wordless Wednesday’s here….
gluten-free… Choc Chip Cookies
I found this recipe and immediately I thought of Tiff and Ivy, as well as Hyphen-Mama. It looked like it would make pretty nice biscuits (cookies).
*note.. soy flour has a strong flavour and can be bitter, apparently the bitterness decreases with cooking.
*another note.. I haven’t cooked these bickies so if they are horrible, I am sorry.
INGREDIENTS:
125g(4 1/2oz) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons castor (superfine) sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
110g (3 3/4 oz) fine rice flour
75g (2 1/2 oz) gluten free cornflour (cornstach)
3 tablespoons soy flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
200g (7 oz) chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celcius (325 fahrenheit). Line three flat baking trays with baking paper.
In a medium bowl,cream the butter and sugars. add the egg and vanilla essence and beat well.
sift the flours,bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder three times into a bowl (or mix well with a whisk to ensure they are well combined). add to the butter mixture and beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
place large tablespoons of the mixture on the baking trays. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for 5 minutes,then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
I hope that these biscuits taste as good as they look. All the ingredients were available at my local supermarket.. cheers Kim

I balance amazing cooking with indifferent housekeeping. Vacuuming is definitely bad for your soul. Unless someone else does it, then it is B.A.D for your ears as well... *sigh*
