Everything's coming up MilHouse! Blogtober day 23

My lovely stepdad called in yesterday to deliver a little gift for me, "an early birthday present" he said:

Aren't I lucky? My very own iPhone :)  I'm still trying to work out how to operate it properly - thank goodness for my good friend Google or I'd still be trying to work out how (and where!) to insert the sim card. Clearly a challenge set by the cruel people at Apple to weed out those of us not clever enough to own an iPhone. If you don't own an iPhone and haven't the faintest idea what I'm talking about, click here and see where the sim card goes. Then tell me if you would have worked that out on your own.


Also, today my goodies arrived from Vic over at Punky and Me. I was lucky enough to win her very first Best of the Fest Giveaway!

Thanks so muc Vic, I love it all, can't wait to get started on the book tonight.


And, just when I thought my day couldn't get much better, the bloke who lives at my place brought me home one of these...

Hope you enjoyed your Friday as much as I did.

Delicious Guacamole - Blogtober day 5

Today I'm sharing my recipe for yummy guacamole.

Ingredients:
1 Ripe Avocado
1 small clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp Natural Yogurt
1 Lemon
Salt and Pepper

Mash the avocado in a small bowl.
Stir in the yogurt, crushed garlic and a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
Done!

Serve with Nachos, corn chips, on crackers with fresh sliced tomato, or use as a dip, whatever you like.

Recipe Notes:
I always use Hass Avocados, they definitely have the best flavour.
You don't have to use fresh garlic, a jar of crushed garlic is fine.
I always use Jalna Natural Yogurt because it's simply the best real yogurt I know, but you can use whatever brand you like, you can even substitute sour cream if you prefer (or if you run out of yogurt!).

PS. It goes really well with one of these (just add tequila). Enjoy!
