Drive back to Sydney day. New pasta dish day : May 19 2026
Never going to be an activity day but there will be steps. Loading the car for the drive back to Sydney. Unloading the car on the Sydney side.

Did walk up to the shops to get a few key ingredients for a visit from my wife's grandson. Pink hibiscus on the way

Not often seen flower just up from the hibiscus - iNat does not have an ID that relates to what I saw
We had a visit from my wife's son - they stayed an hour. As Ouma was on the phone, the visit followed a different course. Sit on the floor says Ollie. We played cars a while. Banana lollies came out before Ouma came off the phone. TV did go on - 1962 episode of The Jetsons

Was a fun episode so far ahead of its time - robotaxis, robot maids, video calls, Google home - and more - worth watching. Ollie Was taken in. No photos as Oupa had to sit on the floor
Dinner idea was a creamy bacon and mushroom pasta dish - no tomatos and no cream in the fridge. Did the Google search

Crisp up some bacon - from a dry pan

Brown uo some mushroom slices - add a little butter - want them browned well
Meanwhile cook the spaghetti - save a cup of the cooking water. The starch is the key to getting a creamy story. Set aside - saute chopped garlic and spring onion and one chilli - maybe 30 seconds. Toss in the preserved pasta sauce

Mix through. Toss in the cooked bacon and mushroom. Get it warm and then fold through the pasta
Recipe note: recipe said to sprinkle chilli flakes at service time. One chilli cooked in with the garlic was too spicy for my wife - OK for me. It was spicy

Home-cooked meals are very good for our health. We know that we have used good quality products. And it is a fact that if we spend even one hour of our day in the garden, looking at flowers and plants, it has a very good effect on our health.
