Spring joy is fast becoming the most stressful time of year

  Normally we would not see the daily machinations of the native hens (turbo chooks) that live with us however, we have a pair of turbo chooks that have set up house on our front lawn - they have been there for 3 years and have not yet grown their babies to adulthood.   Its fast becoming the most stressful time of the year for us.  This poor little bundle was picked up by a goshawk, turbo chook mum and i went hollering across the hill and the hawk dropped the chick. If it were not for the talons i wonder if the chick would have survived.  She is now buried under a shrub.   This little one (above) was part of 6 day old chicks and as of today we are down to 4with one that is hopping having hurt a leg.  Today has been the most stressful as goshawks have come and gone and now a crow has noticed the little one that is not walking well. Mum has chased it away twice and it is just upsetting to think of the battle these little ones endure daily. a short v...

When Endangered is right in front of you

  This beauty was found on my office bench one morning this week. So intact, so beautiful. A bit of googling established it is a Bogong Moth.

They aim to support Bogong Moth research, and promote Moth Tracker.

Turos Teszta (cream cheese pasta) - Hungarian recipe

Turos Teszta  - pasta with cream cheese I love the simplicity of this dish that speaks of winter comfort.    My mum taught me this recipe in my teens when my sister and I had to take turns to cook each weekend.- it is usually made with fettuccini, bacon, sour cream and cream cheese. I made this dish last night and have, over the. years, adapted it to bring in a range of extras. i dont use a measure and go by quantities i want for the number of people,   adjusting the additions accordingly with regard to balance and taste.    This recipe is well-suited to being a vegetarian dish by leaving out the bacon and sausage and adding other vegetables.  Questions? ask away. INGREDIENTS Fettuccini - i used Guzzi egg fettuccini (half a pack) smoked bacon - chopped into squares chorizo - chopped into half circles red onion - thinly sliced   carrot - chopped into squares or half circles mushroom - chopped into small squares broccoli tops - finely chopped cream ...
