Forgot to mention ..

wow, i forgot to mention yesterday the most pitiful thing that happened to me tuesday; :D -- actually, I did feel pretty stupid; I fell over. I was walking to the bus stop here and I tripped on the little lip between the Safeway carpark and the footpath, and unfortunately, down i went. My hand scraped along the concrete, though not as bad as last year by any means (which is why i probably forgot to mention it). Fortunately it didn't even bleed like last year; I just got a fright as I did scrape my jeans and hopefully didn't wreck any other item of clothing.. My left thumb also got scratched and a bit of my other hand.-- not sure what Joy was playing at but she started bouncing all over me wagging her tail which is all i needed as i was still recovering and feeling sorry for myself. For a second, i wondered if I should just walk back home but I bravely decided to continue, and I was fine really. Haven't had any discomfort from it at all unlike last time when I had to actually get it dressed every day for several weeks, but that time, my entire hand scraped a fair way along the concrete.
In other news, i am going to cook tomorrow. thecrazykiwi featured a pastabake dish on her and Damo's web site. And it seems easy enough and yummy enough, so I am going down later (after my butcher order arrives) to do my weekly shop, and I will get the ingredients for this dish I don't have and cook it tomorrow.
Since this recipe won't be on the page for much longer, I am going to put it behind this cut, and I thank thecrazykiwi and budget_barry for providing it.

So of course i will let this LJ know how I go; I'm actually quite looking forward to cooking it as i know once I do this, it will get my confidence up even more to try other casseroles like this. -- i decided I may try and cook each dish that they have up on their page each week; good plan to build my confidence! -- My only problem is, my talking scales don't work. I don't believe they ever have. I bought them from Prahran (201) bout eight or nine years ago and yeh, never had it working. I just wonder if I ever bothered to put batteries in them. I certainly hope there's no batteries in them to corode it; I will be extremely pissed off; yes, pissed off I will be. -- I'm going out to check soon.
Hoping I get my scales working else I will have to just do a lot of guessing work.
