I’ve been busy in the kitchen today, preparing meals for our upcoming three day weekend away in the caravan. So what have I made? Asparagus quiche for a start, made with fresh new season asparagus, that should do us for a meal or two. Then some bacon and egg bites, a recipe I found on BBC Food, some of these had double yolk eggs. Very tasty too, and will do for lunches while we are away. It’s always handy to have some easy meals prepared, and I made a date loaf as well.
Baking for the weekend
With a major birthday coming up fast, I had to go and see about getting my drivers license renewed. My eye test was done at recent visit to the eye specialist, when I went for my annual checkup. Then I needed a visit to the doctor, so he could ascertain that I had my wits about me, and answer all sorts of questions, including the date, the name of the Prime Minister, and various other questions including some mental arithmetic, although nothing to actually do with driving. He did ask if I felt safe driving, which I do. Just as well he didn’t enquire if I ever had trouble finding my car in a car park – my car is a small silvery one, just like most of the others I see parked up. When that was all over I had to take my various signed and stamped forms to the AA (Automobile Assoc), get my photo taken, pay them some money, and my new license will be forwarded to me shortly. Whew – what a rigmarole!
So what else have I been doing? A little knitting on a blue toddlers cardigan, using up some left over wool I had hanging about. My knitting bag will be packed away in the caravan when we leave tomorrow, together with some hand stitching.
Thee weather promises to be nice and fine for the three day weekend, Monday is a public holiday so we should have a nice relaxed time.

wow I wouldn't want to have to do all that to get my license renewed! normally just a quick eye check at the renewal office and a new photo taken and pay. Have fun on your camping weekend - I always like to have a few meals prepared in advance as well when we travel in the RV
Yum on those bacon and egg bites! Oh how yummy fresh asparagus is!!!
Your prepared meals look delicious! Enjoy the long weekend and the adventures it holds.
Before I forget, I've got to ask, what is cabinet food? Just curious. Loved seeing your cake and your cooked things all ready for your weekend away. And yes, your birthday is continuing it seems. It is a good age you have reached as we would say in Newfoundland. SO glad you still have your wits about you, LOL. Yes, I have to always deliberately take note of where I've parked to avoid the embarrassment of trailing up and down the rows...which I have done,sadly.
Dear Jenny, do hope you have a wonderfully Happy Birthday filled with year long Blessings. I think of you often as I place my pink heart pillow on my bed when I make it every morning. Did not know till this week that you are 364 days older than me, now I will never forget your Birthday. Love, Marie from Western Australia
Thanks to all for your kind words.
Marie, how lovely to hear from you. Your message came through as non reply, could you please let me have your email address and are you blogging too? If so I would like to have your blog url as well so we can keep in touch. Thanks in advance for this info.
What a feast you’ve cooked up for the weekend...Have fun!
Sweet jumper to have on hand to work on...
Great to have your license organised.
That all looks delicious. And well done getting your license sorted.
Sounds like lots of yummy cooking to enjoy whilst you are away....have fun xx
Have a great weekend and a fantastic birthday, Jenny!!
I renewed my driving licence recently, had the optometrists letter, then had to do a cognitive test with the practice nurse, managed a 30/31 score, and every question or puzzle had nothing to do with driving. Guess it is to see if you are still sane!!! Then a blood pressure check, weight and height, eyesight again, pay, and go to AA. Mine is a restricted one, local within the 50 km zone and daytime only, all this is on the reverse side. Have a safe weekend, so many accidents already, so glad we were not leaving Auckland in the traffic jam.
I don't have to renew my license for another 4 years, thank heavens.
That blue yarn is so pretty.
The baking looks great as well.
God bless.
