Drifting through life

JahTeh, click away now. I was shoulders deep into the cupboard the other day checking on how many jars of pasta sauce I had, when I found a can of crushed pineapple I'd forgotten about. Well, I couldn't leave that poor lonely can just sitting there in the dark now, could I? so out it came and I made these... pineapple pies! I made a little meringue.... and topped the pies.... ....baked them in the oven at a low temperature (150*C-180*C) until they were delicately browned and so very yummy! I took one to work and left it on the lunchroom table with instructions to "help yourself". I ate the other one over several days. Which shows great restraint on my part, because I could very easily have eaten the whole thing in one go.

Christmas is fast approaching! What?  You already knew that? Well okay then. Now for the rest of my announcement. Bag snatchers, pickpockets, grab'n'run people. They're out there. NOW.  Well, all year round, but they're much more prevalent at this time of year. I may have touched on this topic before (last Christmas?), but I'm going into it again. And again and again if necessary. People, please beware of your surroundings! Keep your bags, purses, small electronics etc secure. I've just watched A Current Affair, with a young magician showing just how careless people are and how very, very easy it was to relieve people of their belongings. This young magician sat next to an older man who was eating his lunch and taking absolutely no notice of the young man who sat down next to his open backpack. And stole something from it.  The magician then moved on to a woman whose handbag was hanging from her shoulder, but wide open. No trouble at all...
