Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend

June 8, 2013 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

It’s the start of a long weekend here in Sydney, and we’ve got a busy one planned!

I’m off to Haverick Meats with my friend Carol soon, and then Pete’s extended family will be arriving – his four siblings and their families. It’s been a hectic week and I’m waaay behind in terms of getting ready (they’ll be here in six hours!) – the house still needs to be cleaned, and I haven’t given much thought to what we’re all going to eat over the next three days, apart from a whole salmon that’s currently frozen solid.

Thankfully, there’s always plenty of sourdough bread in the freezer. We have Greek haloumi, some frozen fruit loaf for a bread and butter pudding, leeks and lettuces in the garden and oodles of deli offcuts. Hmmm…I think we’ll make pizza, roast a piece of belly pork and maybe deep fry some school prawns.

There’s lots to do, but I just wanted to quickly wish you all a fabulous weekend! I’ll probably be offline a bit over the next few days, but I’ll catch you all on Tuesday! ♥

PS. If you have a little time this weekend, please visit the kitchens of all my blogger friends. There’s already nineteen kitchens for you to peep into this month! (See toolbar on the right of this post.)

    Have a lovely weekend!
    (I am constantly amazed at how fast the day goes by. It seems there aren’t enough hours in a day quite often! I often have so much to do…..and so little time. lol!)

    time to get the slowcooker out by the look of things! a cold weekend……..and hot selfserve soup just pop a stack of bowls and a cup of spoons next to the slowcooker. The added bonus is the delicious aroma that greets your guests.

    Enjoy your family weekend :)

    Have a lovely time with your house guests and I just know they won’t go hungry. Do you ever shop at Glenmore Meats in Glebe? What do you think of it? xx

    How brilliant that you’re so relaxed about meal planning with such a lot of visitors – and yet it sounds as if it’s going to be a totally delicious weekend. Hope you’re having a really lovely time.
