hot pasta salad and steak

K has been asking for pasta for a few days now, so last night I bought some steak on the way home from playgroup (Aussie sirloin!) and made a big BIG BBBIIIIIGGGG pot of mum's famous hot pasta salad. It worked out perfectly as I could throw in all the half bits of veges (zucchini, spinich, mushrooms) left in the fridge and it is such a comfort food for me. So I was a happy chappy!

I think K and I will be having the leftovers of it tonight (did I mention it was a BIG pot of it I made!!) coz J will be home late.

Am supposed to be going to a friend's 4th of July bbq tomorrow, but K has the sniffles and runny nose all day. Am worried to take her as friend has a 3 month old baby and I don't want K's possible cold to spread. Will see how K is in the morning.

K and I have just had an apple for our afternoon snack (hardly did the trick for me - am still dreaming of chips or chocolates *sigh*) and about to hit the streets for a walk with R before the afternoon clean up (how does K's stuff end up scattered all over 3 rooms?? )
