the fifo wife

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popping corn

Caramel

• 125g butter, chopped
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey

How to:

1. Line a tray with baking paper. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of popping corn. If corn slowly turns around in a circle then oil is hot enough.
2. Add remaining popping corn. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. When corn starts popping, shake saucepan gently. Remove from heat when corn stops popping. Transfer to a large bowl, discarding any unpopped corn.
3. Make caramel: Combine butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Bring mixture to the boil. Boil, uncovered, without stirring, for 5 to 8 minutes or until light golden.
4. Remove from heat. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and stir until popcorn is coated. Spread over prepared tray. Set aside to cool. Break into pieces. Serve.

Yum!!

Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest. -Ashleigh Brilliant

Yesterday was a complete and utter waste of time but of the good sort. I did absolutely nothing but sleep eat and hang out with my boys and it was so good. We took a ride in the old red truck. We chatted. We watched TV. We just hung out together doing nothing at all. I needed that. We needed that. Wasting time. doing nothing but living in the moment. I have felt so distance from the boys…too busy snapping at them instead of talking.

So doing nothing all day it was exactly what this cranky self absorbed momma needed. A little reminder.

Hmmm…Its just now all that stuff I should have done yesterday I need to do today but that’s okay because I have an extra set of hands..its just letting those extra hands do it his way instead of mine that will be the hardest part…its the control freak in me.

Have a brilliant Monday my friends,

I was asked to write an article for a mens magazine so I have been reading my fair share of men’s magazines..for research..the ones with the articles. And ordinarily I don’t really care for “what men want’ polls and surveys but here’s a bit of surprising fun.

Want to know what men really want you to wear to bed? Now I was waiting for lingerie, stilettos heels and all that exhausting jazz BUT a recent poll (don’t ask me to declare my sources…its embarrassing as it is) showed it was either nothing that was no surprise or the t-shirt and knickers or just the over sized shirt particularly the men’s variety. Think Julia Roberts out of mystic pizza remember that movie or am I showing my age?

Me I have two sets of PJ’s a husband away pair and husband home pair. In winter the husband away pair is pink with poodles on them. I think I have worn the just a handful of times when he is home and each time is received with a smirk. Similar to the rolling fits of laughter I give him with his superman pj pants. The husband home pair is just minue the poodles so its not much better but I’m a comfort girl kind of girl and that’s sexy right?

Surprising? What do you think?

Have a great weekend lovelies..where did that week go? What are your plans? Mine nothing. Nadda. Nothing. Just enjoying the boys and all their chaos.

Anyone read it? After rushing out to get my copy,yes guilty as sin, reading the first page well that’s where I have stayed. Stuck on the first page. Its still sitting on my desk.

Tell me lovelies does it live up to the hype? Should I press on despite the bad writing? Will umm husband be turning the literal pages for me?
