Hands up if you have never been yabbying???
That many ???
You really don't know what you are missing!!
Apart from the initial embarrassment of having to buy "Lambs Fry" at the supermarket, the fear that someone might just see it in your trolley and think that you eat it.. it is a great country thing to do!
Sunday, we spend the afternoon in the glorious sun, checking nets and bringing that captures home and into the laundry tub before cooking. We have half of our dam empty, due to no dam fill this year, and the other half will be dry before to long, so we took the opportunity to do a little yabbying before it too dried out. My best friend from Dimboola brought the family over for the afternoon for the experience. I am the godmother of both of her girls.. so that was very nice!
I really need to get motivated food and exercise wise.. I am starting to feel sluggish and blah. I know that if I exercised more I would have more energy.. but man.. that first step is the hardest!
I have all of my friends laughing at the moment.. they think I have something for pumpkin. Often, I will test a recipe, type it up and email it out.. my last five have all been pumpkin based!!! LOVE IT!!!!
I have also given up eating potatoes.. for a few reasons that just came to me like a light bulb last week. They are high GI... Basically no nutritional value what so ever.. so I figure I might as well eat sweet potato or pumpkin. They have also been quite expensive ($13 for 5kg) when I can get pumpkin for 80 cents a kilo.. why would I eat them???
Little Hugh turns two on Friday and I am so excited about it! Having a party for him and I am making a Sheep cake!!! Van't believe my baby is nearly two! I love it when people ask the age of my kids and I can roll off my tounge.. 2, 3 and 4... then to see the look of horror that usually followed witha comment like.. "You must have been busy" - Yeah I was, but anything since is a walk in the park! Light at the end of the tunnel! Love having all of my kids close.. they play together just so well, hardly ever have sharing problems ot jealous issues! Very lucky parents!
Ok.. little fragmented post.. but need to get some order back in to everything...

What exactly are yabbies????
Oh and I love the sound of the sheep cake! Can you post a pic for us!???
yes, what is a yabby???
i do love pumpkin but I hate chopping it up, i love to make pumpkin soup but cutting it is awful!!
hehe i havent been yabbying since I was about 12!!! We used to go with the neighbours kids in the dam behind our house... Fun as long as we never caught anything... Coz I would end up feeling so sorry for the poor yabbies I would end up in tears if we didnt throw them back!
I have always wondered if its better to have kids closer together... Thats something my partner and i have discussed a few times. We wondered that apart from handling so many young'uns at once, is it more expensive as well? But i liek the idea of the kids all being close in age together... My brother and I were 11yrs apart (just the 2 of us) and i reckon we missed out on a lot!
Anyway, good on you for giving the potatos a miss! Go the Pumpkin!!! hehe :)
My kids love yabbying - it's a great cheap day out...lol
I have pretty much swapped potatoes for pumkin too - so much nicer:)
Would love to be on your recipe mailing list:)
Geez, the last time I went yabbying would have been over 20yrs ago (that's showing my age isn't it?!) - didn't catch anything though :(
Happy birthday to little Hugh! You'll have to take a photo of his sheep cake, sounds fantastic!
I love pumpkin too, yummo!
