The Final Bonfire

Well yesterday we had the final bonfire up at One Tree Hill. And it was a beauty!
We cooked a stew with dumplings, and also had soup (reheated on the fire) and bread, and I did a spiced apple damper, followed lastly by toasted marshmallows. What a feast.
I also downed TWO cans of bundy rum... which is a big ask. Its been so long since Ive been able to do that, so long let me tell you, that I had forgotten about the, ahem, little morning after ritual after drinking copious amounts of bundy. And apprently two cans was a copious amount for me!
So after spending a day scrapping, a bonfire was a great end to the day.

The other thing that happened today was that I had the feeling of joy about my very settled and domesticated life.
Kayla is house sitting my parents new rental property until they move in on wed this week, she has been there since last thursday, and has made herself very much at home living like it's her first place after moving out of home.
While there today, after dropping a load of goods off, she offered us tea, and said that she would cook.
When asked what culinary delights she would be serving up, her reply was "chevapchichi's", intrigued we then asked what would be accompanying them, her reply.."bread".
'Just bread?' "Yeah chevapchichi sandwhiches, how good are they?"
'Perhaps you might like a little butter or sauce with those...? '

Thankfully I can come home to my own very domesticated, settled
(and some may say boring) home and have a great meal of sweet potato and lentil curry and rice for tea!!
I had forgotten the about the foods of the young and newly moved out!
