Great Places To Visit - Rose St Pantry-48 Rose St, Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia.- Organic Produce, Organic Store, Vegan, Vegetarian, Organic Meat.

So, on Saturday, this is what we got up to. Friends of ours opened this gorgeous, delicious, tasty, organic, vegan, vegetarian, organic meat, milk, cheeses....etc....etc.....store in Fitzroy, Melbourne. They were having a Mexican theme tasting from 12 till 30pm. Naturally, we had to go and sample the corn tortilla's, cheeses, salsa's etc to be sure they were safe to hand out! We sampled EVERYTHING that was available and came to the conclusion that we had to shop! Of course! Hubby dutifully got out his wallet and I of course shopped! So yummy. Had to buy some of the corn tortilla's, they were amazing. Anyway........you get the drift. it's great produce, both fresh and packaged, tinned, pre-cooked soups, lasagnes, etc, etc, etc.

Do yourself a BIG favour, and call in sometime. Have a little taste or two of what's on offer that day and don't forget to take some home for your pantry or frig, or both! Great healthy food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and a lovely way to spend some time. I for one am going back! Here are some pics to browse through.

Great Storm to Watch - Over Tocumwal N.S.W. Australia - Mini Tornado

A mini Tornado struck Strathmerton on the weekend of October 31/10/15 destroying a couple of houses. Luckily no one was hurt. Just a bit further along the Murray River at Tocumwal the Tornado ended. We happened to be home and live near the edge of town, close to the river. We saw the sky turn pink, grey and green. Ominous. Can't remember a stormy grey sky turning pink or especially green before. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Then we heard this roar. Bernie looked at me as we stood on our back verandah watching the clouds flying about and said "What's that noise?" I replied, "Wind. Lots of it. I think we should go inside now." As I said this we saw the sky along the river turn green and pink and the trees begin to whip wildly. We retreated inside for a bit and as the roar died away we ventured back out to the front verandah as torrential rain began to fall. And boy did it rain!!! The early afternoon turned dark as the clouds above turned ...

Great Reading - Crime, Conspiracy, Action - "Mortal Insight" by E.B. James

Mortal Insight A brilliant novel. Draws you in, then keeps you in suspense. It brings you conspiracy, crime, action and asks the question: When your life is at stake, are some truths worth bringing out into the open? Detective Sergeant Steve Keller has begun to see things. He desperately hopes the visions mean something and not that he's going crazy. But the visions don't go away, and when they start meaning something more, Steve finds himself caught in an investigation way bigger than he ever imagined. As the pieces begin to fit together, something dangerous emerges. He can't hide what he knows, but to expose it doesn't just stir up controversy, it provokes someone who lurks in the shadows; someone who will kill to keep this information quiet. Great reading, didn't want to put it down when I first began to read it. When I picked it up the second time, well, I couldn't put it down until I finished it at 2.00am in the morning!!! Worth the lack o...

Recipe-Healthy Eating,Healthy Heart,Diabetic Friendly, Vegetarian, Great Tasting simple food.

Roast Pumpkin & Mushroom Risotto. Decided I wanted a risotto for dinner that tasted great and was good for me. Mmmmmm, so that means, oil is out, dairy is out, gluten is out, fat is out, meat is out. Geez, what's left? Let's check out what's in the refrigerator.......Pumpkin, celery, red capsicum, Portobello mushrooms, red onion, garlic, vegetable stock, white wine, etc mmmmm. Ok, in the pantry I've got risotto rice etc. So, I made up this recipe below. Hope you like it as much as I do. Sorry about the photo. I started eating before I remembered to take a photo, it smelled so good. I had already mixed in the baby spinach and rocket although you can't see them in the photo, I think they went to the bottom! Anyway, I enjoyed it, so even though the photo isn't as pretty as it could be, the proof is in the eating. Give it a go. Ingredients: 450g pumpkin - cut into cubes and roasted with a sprinkle of water and then Mexican seasoning. Set aside...
