Lollipop Moments

On the weekend my eldest son (14) shared something with me.

I LOVED it so very much.

He was really happy for me to share this message with you too.

I love the idea that we can say or do something at any time that helps enact profound change.

I love the idea that every single one of us DOES have the capacity to be amazing even without knowing it, that we all have value.

I love the idea that we all matter.

I LOVE his idea on leadership.

And I LOVE that my son understood the value of the message.

I hope you watch it and love it too.



GOURMET GIRLFRIEND'S BEETROOT MARMALADE:
Beets are so delish at the moment.
I love them.
I made this marmalade yesterday and am really happy with the citrus tang from the orange.  
It is great on sandwiches, with a steak or just served with cheese & crackers.
YUM.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1kg beetroot
  • juice and rind of a large orange
  • 3 sprigs of thyme
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • water to cover
METHOD:
Grate the beets and all ingredients into a saucepan.

Cook over a medium heat until the beet is soft, now turn down to low and simmer slowly, stirring often till jammy (about 45 minutes).

Place into a sterilised jar and refrigerate.  Keeps for several weeks.

I have been enjoying this song.
