Well… it was the last day for the boys here at Norwich House. I managed to get a snap of them with our new boarder Kirrily – they have all had a lot of fun and laughs together. Its going to be a bit quiet around here for a while after tomorrow!
While I didn’t get to drag them around the complete Anniversary Bay loop today (Daisuke hurt his ankle with some enthusiastic trampolining the other day so we didn’t push it) but we went up to the Wet Cave and up to see the view over the beach
It was a really sunny warm day which was nice of Tasmania to behave for their last day!
Smack in the middle of the day is not ideal for photos… but I can never help snapping a few
I left the boys at the beach and came home to make the rissoles (hamburgers) up for dinner later.
Cousin Jeff appeared with a rather large load of firewood!
And I was like ‘Awesome – thanks so much because I had totally run out of things to do and I was getting bored’
No, wait…
I think it was more like “Don’t you think I have enough to do?” (I might have said a mild emphatic swear word in there too)
Cousin Jeff said with my bad attitude the price just went up
I love family! haha
Anyway, he figured while I had three strong lads staying I should be able to get this lot stacked in a jiffy!
And for city boys they did a pretty great job… sure the wheelbarrow might have crashed once or three times but once they sorted the balance thing out we were on our way!
Certainly a lot quicker than what I can do on my own that was for sure!
So I cooked up a stack of rissoles and we all made up our own burgers at the table – Quite something to see 18 hamburgers devoured in one sitting!
Something gratifying about seeing your home cooked meals enjoyed so much!
Well… I have to get up at 4am (which is closer to my normal going to bed time) so I need to scoot.
Not promising a story tomorrow as I reckon I will be like a zombie tomorrow evening!
Cheers!
Say goodbye from us and good luck getting up at 4am.
It was tough! lol xx
I hope you have a nice warm cuppa and a time for quiet to yourself today. It sounds like the boys had quite the adventure, and I imagine they will always look back on it.
How many hamburgers each did everyone eat? Goodness ><
Thanks Lee… I did have more of a quiet day… I think mostly because I couldn’t get myself motivated into moving very fast!! 🙂 I hope the boys have great memories from their time here. They wrote beautiful things in our guest book, so that was lovely!
haha – Jeff, Kirrily and I had 2 each… the boys 4 hamburgers each!! Was phenomenal to watch! 😀 😀
I want to know how much mince is in 18 hamburgers!!
It sounds like they’ve had a fantastic time.
It was a lot of fun!
I think I made up about two kilo’s of mince into the mix – and cooked about 20 patties. The little bit left over I rolled into meatballs and cooked into the leftover pasta mix and had that on pasta last night!! 🙂
I learn something every time I visit your site . I never knew burgers were called rissoles? Our hamburgers here are usually made with ground beef and some people add in lamb or other meat. Yum!
Hi!! I think what we called mince meat is your ground beef – we also can get lamb or chicken as well.
The patty we call rissoles – which we often just serve on the plate along with veggies or salad (and some relish or sauce)
Once they go into buns they then turn into hamburgers!! 😀
I’m in the UK and I would say that a rissole is made with minced cooked meat and is probably round rather than a flat patty! They are what my mum used to cook. Funny how names don’t mean quite the same even though we speak the same language. And I quite fancy rissoles myself now! Of either description 🙂
The little differences! I think ours are meant to be a bit rounded too… I just like squashing them flatter if I am doing actual hamburgers in a bun!
I am going to live on leftovers the next few days! Minimum effort!
