Tuesday 10^th December

SHE SAID:

We were happy to see the “chick foundlings” all survived the night.

I did some sorting out in the van, tidying & throwing out unused clothes etc.; it has become an annual thing at this time of the year for me.

Geoff wanted to rotate the ute's tyres & decided that he could manage it up at the shed here on the property. I left him to it! Afterwards, he went into the village to the post office as one of his parcels had arrived.

Geoff offered to cook tonight. He’d found a recipe he wanted to try out: Spicy Firecracker Beef. Thankfully, he used ¾ of the Sriracha Chilli Sauce required for the recipe, as it was at the high end of my tolerance for chilli. It was a tasty change!

With the 7 new chicks seemingly OK this morning I decided to tackle the tyre rotation on the ute before it got too hot. I still got sweaty, and rather dusty, but it could have been worse. 

My internet browsing a couple of weeks ago led to a tasty sounding beef mince dish, called Firecracker Beef, pop up. So, after discussing it with Varena we decided to give it a go. We'd not cooked with sriracha before, so we didn't really know what to expect. The result was tasty, and a bit spicy, so luckily I had reduced the hot sauce, and completely skipped the chilli flakes. That would have been too spicy!
