So we're up to graduation season at Our School. After a depressing shopping effort looking for wedding attire a month back I managed to find two suitable dresses on Saturday for two separate graduation evenings. The girls were wonderful for objective opinions. I keep telling my brother it's worth keeping your kids alive so they make it to be teens - my children give him hope. In any case I'm all set to go with shoes and jewellery organised as well.
Miss Mischief enjoyed her belated birthday party on Friday night. After having spent a weekend with her class at camp the weekend before, it was lovely to have all the girls (bar one) over for dinner. I'll have to post about that separately, such was the magnitude of the evening! I was struck again with how lovely Miss Mischief's school friends are.
This week's meals are as follows:
Monday: Roast lamb, vegies
Tuesday: Vegie burgers
Wednesday: Oven fried chicken, vegies
Thursday: Frittata, salad (and me at our Yr12 graduation)
Friday: Stuffed Cypriot Chicken (thanks to Jamie Oliver)
Saturday: Chicken & Dumplings
Sunday: Homemade pizza
Today my blogging friend Frances posted about roasted beets. I'm not a fan of beetroot myself, having been brought up on the tinned variety. Blech. However, I do love roasted vegies. While we were with my parents a few weeks back Mum did roasted parsnips with one of our meals. Oh my, they were so good. Only Mr Busy rejected them, and the rest of us were keen to have his. It was not quite a brawl....but there was healthy debate as to who would get them! Mum par-boils her parsnips before roasting. They were lovely and moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I think parsnips will have to find their way to my table more often. I don't often buy them because I thought noone but me like them.

I haven't tried roasting my parsnips yet, but I like the idea of boiling them briefly beforehand, as I would with potatoes. Can't wait to give them a try!
