Lady Lunchalot

The usual trials and tribulations of a pregnancy and a major house renovation have kept me away from the blog for quite a few months now.

We’ve reached 32 weeks, and Bubba Lunchalot is due in Mid Feb - only mere weeks away! Not long to go now…

So food hasn’t really been a major factor in my life lately, except from a nutritional viewpoint. My thoughts tend to revolve around things like whether I’ve been eating enough fish for Omega 3, or have I had enough protein for the day. And then of course there’s all the fun things you’re not supposed to eat that I am REALLY missing, like oysters, smoked salmon, soft boiled eggs, salami and prosciutto, soft serve ice cream, and of course a zillion soft cheeses that I adore. I’ve put in a request for a dozen perfect oysters and a whole wheel of brie or a really nice washed rind with a loaf of sourdough as a present for mum straight after the birth!

O and I also have not been living in our own home since August. We’ve been house-sitting for various friends around town while our house is being renovated. We’ve been staying three weeks here, and a few weeks there while friends go on holiday, so it’s been a little hard to get into cooking when you’re so tired at the end of the day and don’t have all your own kitchen stuff around you.

But I did want to officially thank everyone who has helped us out by opening their homes to us: Kathryn and Tim, Jess and Richard, Stu and Lachie, Amelia and Lee, and Sam and Kath. You’ve really made the past few months soooo much easier for us, and we’re really grateful.

In just over two months we’ll be in our own brand new home (with a brand new custom built kitchen designed by yours truly!) with Baby Lunchalot well installed in the family. I can’t wait. I can’t promise that I’ll blog regularly for the next few months, but I am sure you’ll hear from me from time to time. I’m sure once I’m in the rhythm of my new life as a mum my posts will be more regular again!

In the meantime, have a great Christmas, and remember to indulge in lots of great food, wine, friends and family.
