Jodie Passed Her Driving Test

And on Friday the 13th!! with not even one professional driving lesson, just learning with me and Scott,

She booked her test online on Thursday 12th September 2024. She had already sat one test before on 7th August but unfortunately she failed, she accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake and went over the kerb, an instant fail, she didn't take it very well and I think she has just been waiting to regain her confidence and get more practise in.

She was sitting her test in North Hobart, Scott took her through a bit earlier than her test time of 2pm to get her confidence in driving there.

I think I was more nervous than she was!.

She set off on her test at 1.50pm, and phoned me at 2.25pm to tell me she had passed, we are all over the moon 💗

Cerys messaged to see how things were going, and I messaged Darren.

Her results.

Applying for her temporary driving license.

Driving home, her first time doing 100 km on the highway.

Her first trip out on her own, picking Cerys up from work.

And she had to take Maile home.

Darren bought her a pressie, yes, I am well aware she can't drink and drive, she has no intention of, neither girls would ever do that, they have been well warned and know the consequences if that ever happens.

Well done Jodie, we are beyond proud of you, we knew you could do it!🎉🎉

Peas with Mustard Sauce

This is an amazing side dish, turns ordinary humble peas into something refreshingly different.

Ingredients 230 g peas, fresh or frozen 2-3 tbsp sour cream 1-2 tsp wholegrain mustard butter to taste Method Cook peas by boiling, steaming or microwave. Drain. Add sour cream, mustard, mix through to combine. Add butter, stir to combine. Can you see me?? Enjoy. recipe sourced here

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious. A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou
