30 Years Of The Wiggles Concert. 19th February 2022

I can't actually believe The Wiggles have been on the go for 30 years. It was Cerys that liked them when she was a toddler, we got a free kids T.V shows DVD from The Sun paper many moons ago and we played, it had a selection of episodes from various kids T.V programs and the episode of The Wiggles that was on the DVD was Rock-A-Bye your Bear, from that moment on, she was hooked, we had to buy the DVD's so she could watch them whenever she wanted in the house or in the car. Needless to say, we all had to watch them (as we did with the other cartoon, kids shows that our kids loved), and Jodie got hooked as well.

I spotted these The Wiggles 30 years headband hats in Big W on 29th October 2021 for $8 each and bought one for both girls to wear at The Wiggles Concert.

Cerys loved Jeff, the purple Wiggle from the original line up and Jodie loved Greg, the original yellow Wiggle, I will remove the bow from the Emma wiggle hat to turn it into a Greg hat.

23rd November, Cerys found a yellow Wiggles t shirt for $2 in the charity shop, she plans to give it to Jodie at Christmas, it will be interesting to find out if she will wear it to the concert, it's a bit big but I think she will 😅

And finally the day has arrived...

Jodie painted her nails in The Wiggles colours.

And off they went, sporting their favourite Wiggles colours, Jodie loved Greg, the yellow wiggle and Cerys loved Jeff, the purple wiggle.

They went with friends whom, were also childhood Wiggles fans.

A nostalgic childhood trip down memory lane.

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

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats. I had some corned beef leftover from Scott's sandwiches so that became the base for these stovies. Ingredients 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 kg potatoes (suitable for mashing) 300ml beef stock 1 beef oxo cube 1 tin corned beef Method 1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes. 2. Heat oil in a large deep pan over a medium heat until hot. 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...
