Thank you so much to Suzanne Hill and the lovely staff at the Bremer Bay Community Resource Centre for the invitation and the delightful gifts.<\/p>\n<p>I left a couple of BBQ packs for the boys (DS 2 was home for the night) with instructions to make a salad to have with it.<\/p>\n<p>My tea was a delicious Chicken and Seafood Laksa from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bremerbayresort.com.au\/\">Bremer Bay Resort<\/a>. This was really delicious and had masses of seafood including a gigantic prawn on top and lovely coriander and benito coconut broth. It didn&#8217;t need the chicken at all, the seafood was the star of this dish. At only $15.00, this was superb value for a meal that was incredibly filling (I couldn&#8217;t eat it all!).<\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning&#8217;s breakfast was easy to choose, my favourite, Eggs Florentine. Two beautifully poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach with lashings of smoked salmon. Served on English Muffins and with a (bought) Hollandaise. I don&#8217;t understand why chefs use bought Hollandaise! It&#8217;s so easy to make and keeps in the fridge for days.&nbsp; Again, too much for me to eat, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p>On arriving home, I had to immediately turn on the oven and prepare a <a href=\"http:\/\/islandrooster.net\/dev\/food\/index.php\/2010\/09\/22\/delicious-thermomix-chocolate-cake\/\">Chocolate Cake<\/a> for tonight. The Bowling Club has a number of members and partners who have February birthdays, so the publican of the Pingrup Pub has invited us all to tea there tonight to celebrate en masse.&nbsp; I offered to make the cake. <br \/>\nThen on to afternoon tea for Bowls as it&#8217;s a home game today.<\/p>\n<p>SUNDAY<\/p>\n<p>Simple breakfast of Baked Beans with diced bacon and tomato on toast, get your own lunch and fish and salad for tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today it was another get your own breakfast day, but at least we had nice home made bread.
