I decided today that I really really wanted to make YoYo’s. I had enough ingredients to make half the following recipe, so I went ahead and did it:

Barbecue Tacos and BBQ Cake

I have been trying to think of things that I can cook on the BBQ, and I have come up with Tacos! After spending lots of time at the park, and dinner time, and getting sick of takeaway (and sick of the expense of takeaway) – I thought it would be a good idea to put the facilities to use.

Ingredients:
Taco Shells
Salsa
Tin of refried beans
Lettuce, cut up
Tomato, diced
cheese, grated
homemade guacamole (mashed avocado, diced onion, diced tomato, sour cream, lime juice)
Jalapenos
Sour Cream

Directions:
1. Cut everything up, ready to go. Place in containers (in my case I used a Tupperware one with lots of compartments)
2. When you get to the BBQ: Open tin of refried beans (thank god for pull tabs!) and pour into a tinfoil container. Put lid on (or cover with tinfoil). Put on preheated BBQ.
3. Put taco shells in a large tinfoil tray, and pull half over the top to make a shell.
4. Keep checking the refried beans. They will take about 10-15 minutes.
5. Put the taco shells on the BBQ. While they are heating, get everything else ready.

AND THEN… Just before leaving home, I remembered I had cake in the freezer. So I grabbed that out, and popped that in a tinfoil tray aswell and popped on the BBQ. Not quite so successful. The bottom started burning before it heated through – it was really yummy though. (Err especially when topped with cream and strawberries!)

06photography.com

I have had the domain 06photography.com for a few years now, but haven’t done an awful lot with it. It started out as part of one of my TAFE assignments when I was doing my photography diploma, and I sort of just kept it registered for the sake of keeping it registered. If you went to it before now, you would be redirected to my redbubble website 06photography.redbubble.com (which still works, so feel free to visit). So last night I sat down and had a look at it. It is still nothing flash, but it does have some photos on it, just the ones that I particularly like. More to come soon.

I have also been busy updating my other websites. You might notice they once again have ads on them. The ads don’t take away too much from the site I feel, but it might actually help me make back the money I am spending on the websites (note the word *might* in that sentence). This page is really due for an update, there are just things I don’t like about this theme.

I have updated my recipe website, it now has over 900 recipes (most of them Weight Watchers recipes), and it also has ads on it now. In addition to my two websites, I have changed the layout of Catherine-McNeil.com and added ads back onto that one aswell.

I am still wondering if anyone actually ever visits this blog. And I think I know the answer… No So for now, it’s just me, myself, and I.

Actually, that’s not true. I do get spam comments!

Well obviously I have been really slack in updating this (not that anyone is even reading it anyway!)

So, I no longer have braces! Woohoo. I got them off February 18, 2010. My teeth look AMAZING (I will have to try to post pictures soon). I have plastic retainers that pretty much look invisible…

Fourth Braces Adjustment

alecia — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:16:42 +0000

So I had my fourth braces adjustment last week. Yay. I got new wires top & bottom. But he also removed the red bumps off my molars! So now I can close my mouth properly, and chew without the bumps. I am actually pretty shocked, I went back to eating normally after he took them off. I expected that I would find it all weird again, like I did when he first put them on! But it was all good. The bumps were on my molars to stop my top teeth hitting the braces on the bottom teeth. But now my bite has corrected enough. it’s excellent. Even with the bumps, my teeth would still touch the braces on the bottom teeth. But now my top teeth only sit about 1-2mm over the bottom ones and are about 3-4mm away from touching the bottom braces!

Thankfully, I didn’t have a lot of pain this time. A bit sore for a couple of days but then it was all good! The orthodontist said I will be getting my final wire for my top teeth at my next adjustment on September 1! They also said it will be a longer appointment, so I am not really sure what happens there, but it is very exciting!
