Breakfast, Crystals and DIY



I made breakfast mushrooms and eggs with grilled vine tomatoes.


Another visit to The Big Tasmanian Rock Shop where I purchased more Crystals. Blue Calcite, Orange Calcite, Sodalite and an Amethyst from Scotland 🙌

Calm Communication
Blue Calcite is a stone that is especially calming and soothing. Nearness of blue calcite is great for calming frayed nerves. Blue calcite in your environment can make you aware of needs for rest, which is the first step in helping you get the rest you need.
Physically, blue calcite is used in crystal healing for the throat, lungs, tonsillitis, thyroid, arthritis, joints and high blood pressure.
(Note that healing crystal meanings are spiritual supports to healing and not prescriptions or healthcare information)

Emotional Healing
Orange Calcite is a stone that is particularly helpful mentally. It can relieve emotional fear, mental breakdown, depression, accidents, suicidal thoughts. It is particularly helpful with phobias. Orange calcite restores mental and emotional equilibrium.
Physically, orange calcite is helpful for the reproductive system, intestines, irritable bowel syndrome, kidneys, chronic fatigue, calcium intake and assimilation.

Sodalite is a stone of logic, rationality and efficiency. It brings inner peace. Sodalite brings order and calmness of the mind. It encourages rational thoughts, objectivity, truth and intuition. Sodalite brings emotional balance and calms panic attacks. It enhances self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-trust.
Physically, Sodalite balances the metabolism, boosts the immune system amd overcomes calcium deficiencies.

Psychic, Sobriety
Amethyst is a meditative and calming stone which works in the emotional, spiritual and physical planes to promote calm, balance and peace. It is also used to eliminate impatience.
Emotionally, amethyst is used in crystal healing to help heal personal losses and grief, bringing one gently past. Amethyst has a gentle sedative energy that can promote peacefulness, happiness and contentment.

More from today...We tidied more of the garden and started to give our outdoor dining table some much needed TLC.


Scott started by taking it apart and sanding it down




Then darkness befell us and we had to call it a night 🌃

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

Add onions and fry until golden. 3.  Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4.  Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
