28/7/2018 0 Comments Mulled WineUpdate: don't even make this. It seemed like a really good idea, and we had a great Saturday Night and then I felt crap on Sunday. I am trying to get skinny, and ate bacon eggs and toast for breakfast, and then hot chips and a potato fritter with the 16 year old for lunch. Ugh. Why is alcohol such a dumb idea. I edited all the typos out. I'm useless at proof reading so feel free to let me know if there are more.
This should probably go in the alcohol part, but I haven’t set that up yet. I’m typing this on guitar man’s iPhone because I left my charger at work and my phone is shit. I’m also a bit drunk because I’m drinking mulled wine, which is delicious! The upshot is typos and random words. Mulled wine is delicious and cultural. In Germany they call in gluvine or something I can’t be arsed googling it. Last night I was super cultural, in that we went to the art gallery for an exhibition opening. The main attraction is free wine and canapés - Love an iPhone even puts in the accent for me. Anyway on the way home the man said let’s call into The Blue (a restaurant) for more wine. He won a $50 voucher in one of those businesse card draws, yes people actually win those things. In this case us. Or rather him, so us. It was busy as but my friends were there so we sidled on into their table where I proceeded to drink an excess of mulled wine. My friend Mike had also gone to the G party where I was grunge, but he thought I was Dexys Midnight Runners which doesn’t even begin with G so he was quite confused. I thought he was Clarke Gable . He was the Godfather and the rose he wore was a clue . Wtf. The upshot is wear random shit to themed fancy dress, it doesn’t matter at all. Today I wore my overalls in an ironic sense but I don’t think I’ll do that again because I don’t think other people got the irony. Anyway, tonight I recreated last night in that we ate lamb. Yum. And are drinking mulled wine and here for you is the recipe because I’m good like that. That’s guitar man in the photo. He can put internet model on his cv now. Mulled wine you need:
1. It’s easy as to make. Mix together and taste to see if it’s ok. 2. Put in the microwave for 5 minutes to heat up. 3. Add Vanilla and put in your slow cooker to keep warm. Or a thermos. You could take it to boring sports matches. Which is all of them. That’s it. And they sell this shit for $8 a glass. We only spent about that on a bottle of wine. Note to self and you. You will regret this in the morning. Much like this blog post. Oh we made the kids go away by saying stuff like “oooh you’re so sexy” that worked a treat. We said that to each other not the kids.

This is the trio of salads from last night. I'm eating them for lunch. They are the best coleslaw ever, beetroot salad and this one. It looked a bit brown and ugly on it's own, so I had to photograph it with the others. It tastes the best though.
Pumpkin is a weird thing. It is so delicious unless you're a kid. And some people eat the skin. That is revolting, and if you do remove yourself immediately. That's like people who eat kiwifruit skin. It is very very ill-refined, and if you know me through this blog you'll know that refinement is my middle name*. Anyway Pumpkin who knows what sort to buy - butternut, the big grey ones, squash. I have no idea, and no one in the world does either. They all come under the umbrella of pumpkin. I buy them cut, because those big whole ones are crazy hard. Cutting into them is like trying to stab into the skull of your beloved partner when you're in a rage. What I do is take them outside and smash them on the concrete so they split. The pumpkin not your beloved partner, just let those thoughts just stay in your head (only joking babe, I never think shit like that, it's just for entertainment purposes). This is your top tip for today (either one, the smashing pumpkin or keeping thoughts in your head). Or just buy a cut pumpkin like I said before. I've just finished the salads I feel so super trim But I am wearing my old man pants and ugh boots. So maybe I'm not as skinny externally as I feel internally. *This statement maybe untrue both literally and figuratively. Roasted Pumpkin
So I had a craving for a beetroot salad, one of those flash ones you see in cafes, but there's a girl in front of you in the queue wearing activewear, that she actually does active things while wearing, and she buys some and it's $7.00 for a small plate and you think "Fuck that! I could buy a pie for three bucks". Then you buy the salmon eggs benedict which cost $17 because of the hollandaise (mmmm hollandaise) but it's got spinach on it so it's probably healthy. Anyway I was trawling op-shops ostensibly to buy a peacoat for guitar man so he will look like a pea-cock-cock-cock, that Katy Perry song isn't about the bird, when I saw a pair of new lee jeans that made my butt look amazing. I couldn't quite do them up, so hence the salads, I could just lay down on my stomach when wearing them, so you can't see they don't quite do up but that kinda defeats the purpose of clothes. I also bought some old-man needle cords to wear (so comfy), and some calvin klein going-to-work pants. Anyway peacoats are sexy as fuck, and the man would look even more gorgeous in one, I've attached a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. Anyway I went on a salad frenzy. I may put all the recipes up because I am working at home, and you know. Work. One of the salads was coleslaw but I forgot the apple and added some chipotle sauce into the dressing. But I ate the salads with bacon and egg pie, and I make a mean bacon and egg pie, so it kinda defeated the purpose. And some red wine. Soon I won't be able to do my old-man cords up. Beetroot Salad you need
Here is a picture of a bum in lee jeans. Sadly not my bum., though soon* it will be. *results may vary.
