Chilly morning not chilli choccy tim tams

I've been the popcorn, chocolate, tim tam and DVD girl recently and enjoying every minute of it! Well, mainly on weekends. Haven't tried them yet but have noticed you can get chilli-chocolate tim tams! There's like 7 tim tam flavours these days...Loving food at the moment and have been cooking delicious treats for dinner - because I have no recipe books I am getting very creative. I got chicken breasts the other day and put little slits in them and stuffed them with dried apricots and put them in the oven. I served that with these little treats where i got a muffin tin and lined the muffin cups with puff pastry and filled them with spinach, mushroom, fetta, cheese and olives. SO yummy - highly recommended. The other creation I made last night that tantalised my taste buds that I thought I'd share is.....puff pastry parcels stuffed with the following: soft tofu mashed up, soy sauce, honey, bit of sweet chilli, coriander and mashed pumpkin. YUM!
Work is awesome at the moment. I'm going out to Mt Roskill school today to go through the girls' ap[plications. They're a new school coming onto our program and we need to choose 10 girls out of about 40 applications. None of them ahve been in the country for more than 3 years- it's for our new imigrant module. Also, yesterday I planned the coolest stuff to take us through to the end of the financial year. There will be 4 workshops: career pathways, public speaking, professional women showcase where successful women in the careers professions the girls are interested in will speak, first aid. Then, 4 activity days which are for the students and their mentors: conservation and orienteering, hip hop culture day, craft skills and xmas present making day and theatre sports, nutrition and cooking. Very exciting - so inspired.
Also, there's a party I'm going to on the 20 August which the theme is red. I found a tight red t-shirtish top outside the opshop that I walk past on my way to the bus each morning. I'm going to get little red pom poms and red cotton and attach them all over the top so the dangle and bounce when I move...
Creative writing group is going well - it's my turn to run the group next week so am kinda wishing I had some of my textbooks from when I majored in it but it'll be sweet.
I gotta get to work, just realised the time!
Seeyou in cyber space in the near future ozlings.
