Yay for the weekend!!!

Yay I'm so excited because it's the end of the week and I don't have to go to work tomorrow! LOL!!! I've just been to school yesterday and today and already I'm looking forward to a break. I thought I'd post because many exciting things have been happening.

Like right now... I'm baking a quiche. And it's looking good! And the oven we have here works really well so I'm looking forward to the finished product. Quiche is so easy to make! I found this recipe on a website and it's so easy. Here I'll share it with you:

Easy Quiche

serves: 6
prep time: around 15 mins
cooking time: 40 minutes

Ingredients
4 eggs
1.5 cups milk
3 tbs melted butter
0.5 cup self-raising flour
1.5 cups grated cheese
2 cups filling of choice

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180˚C.
2. Whisk together, in a bowl, eggs, milk, butter and flour.
3. Fold in cheese and fillings.
4. Pour into a 24cm quiche dish, or into ramekins.
5. Bake for 40 minutes or until set.
6. Serve hot with vegetables or cold with salad.

Recipe notes
This quiche forms its own base so there is no need for a pastry base! Also, some of your fillings should be pre-cooked (eg: meats like bacon,chicken,etc. as well as veggies such as mushrooms, onions, etc.) and then should be cooled before adding to the mixture.

You must all go try it and tell me what you think.

In other news, me and Rob (and various other people) have been praying that I get more work. And God has graciously (and quickly) answered our prayers! I've been given a 1 month block doing music at the end of term at a school which is less than a 10 minute drive from my house. So that is really good. Also, there have been a few job listings for music teachers coming up recently. So I've applied for them all. (Christine you'll be happy to know that one of the schools is in the south-ish-west... and it's permanent too... so I hope I get that).

Other exciting things that have happened:
- went on a road trip with Cler (see previous post)
- had dinner with my parents which was nice
- my parents are coming over for lunch tomorrow which will be nice
- my mum is doing my tax return and it's looking good
- Jet has been doing really well since I added a live plant to his bowl. He even swims through the plant now (he was very scared of it at first)
- at the end of three weeks - marriage is still good

Today at school I had much free time. In fact I had so much free time you're probably wondering why I'm tired and looking forward to the weekend. Well I'm reading a book called "Love in Hard Places" by Don Carson. It's a really good book (and a bit heavy too... in a brain explosion way). Took me two 50 minute periods to read the first chapter which was a discussion on different types of love and what God's love is. Then I started to read the second chapter which is discussing whether there is a contradiction between the Old Testament (which has a lot of 'hate your enemy') and the New Testament (where Jesus says 'love your neighbours, pray for your enemies'). And I've found out that it isn't a contradiction, but Jesus fulfilling the Law and the Prophets. I wont give too much more away because it's too hard to blog about... and anyways you should read the book for yourself!!! But yeah... reading tires me out (even though I find the topic interesting).

Gosh this has been a long post - though I guess I cheated with the recipe :P
Have a good weekend all!!!
