Today we all gathered at Mandy and Graeme's to make chilli tomato chutney for Tash and Todd to give away to their wedding guests.

    Tash made up the little bags of spices to add to....

 

beautiful roma tomatoes from Fremantle....

 

and apples, onions, garlic and chilli.

 

Tash , the overseer...and notice Mandy who cut ALL the onions.

 

Men at work....Tash reading the recipe (again!)

 

We could fit four pots on the stove inside and one outside on the barbecue burner, the smell was quite strong.

 

All the little jars that Tash bought were washed and sterilized in the oven.

 

I poured the chutney into the jars, Tash put the lids on and Jo cleaned the outside of the jars.  It was a new experience for me...I've never made chutney (nor jam) before.

 

I took this photo from Mandy's stairs....Ash and Graeme were outside at this stage supervising the three dogs.  It was a wonderful afternoon, such fun and we thought the chutney tasted pretty good as well. 

 

Hard at work....

 

Marjorie, Jane and Veronica on the course today. All smiling as Jane had her first eagle, she did it on the 12th hole.

 

Even St Mary's Catholic Cathedral is flying the "Eagles" flag,  footy fever has hit Perth. I hope for my many friends that are Eagles fans that the team wins on Saturday.

 

Lake Monger...on my way to golf this morning...so still...

 

Rusty and Tash dropped in this afternoon...Rusty liked our lounge and the warm sun on his back.

 

I think Todd was surprised and thrilled to receive this fabulous "Born in the USA" cake, that Tash had her friend make for him.  It was lovely to catch up with Todd's family and friends and share a few drinks at Little Creatures to celebrate his birthday.

 

Pete and I visited the Linton and Kay Gallery in the city this afternoon to look at the entrants in the Black Swan Portraiture Prize. There were some outstanding paintings. On our way back to the car we admired the street art above....
