Rub a dub dub

Do all kids go through this? Why do they like sitting in a tub and pretending it's a boat? I remember that I use to like doing this as well when I was about 3 or 4 years of age and filled my boat up with my most treasured possessions, which would have included my toy monkey and security hankie. Yes, I had a hankie and not a blanket because it was easier to travel around with a hankie. However, it was bloody hard to find when I did misplace it. The entire house would become a search party because the members of the household couldn't stand to hear a kid howling for a dirty rag. The hankie was usually found between the cushions on the sofa or in a pocket of the clothes worn the day before. I also recall carrying my brother as a passenger and I'll rock the tub madly in order to tip him out. The seas were choppy.

Ollie's most prized possession are his plastic milk bottle with a red cap and his 10 pin bowling pins and ball. I sometimes throw in his green frog to keep him company but he tosses him out overboard as soon as its been added into the mix. The tambourine was a recent acquisition. The You Tube clip was produced for the benefit of the grandmother in the land of Oz.

Tortilla

Look what I made for lunch! A Spanish omelet. It has potatoes, capsicum, zucchini, champignons, Spanish onion (not the Spanish part because the Spanish part is the potato), garlic and six eggs. If you really want to get technical I only prepared the ingredients but you know, 90% of cooking is in the preparation. The kitchen hands should really get credit and not the chefs. Note the tail on the omelet.

A tip: Sautee the vegies and par-boil the potatoes first before cooking the omelet part.
