Going to see a mural

The photo is of some lemon butter which I made. I’ve never made it before but it’s very yummy. It has nothing to do with the post. We have Vince’s sister and her husband staying with us since Christmas Day and we’ve enjoyed the time together. We haven’t been very active. We played a new board game called Blokus which was a lot of fun and Flo and I have also been doing a jigsaw. Today, we’re driving to Wellington Dam to view the mural which is being painted on the dam wall. It’s supposed to be the biggest wall mural in Australia but you never quite know the truth with these things. Guess what we’re taking for our picnic lunch? Ham sandwiches!! Ham is a big thing with Australians at Christmas and we seem to be eat it for days and days before we manage to get rid of it all. So I’ll have photos to show you next time I log on.

I'm glad Vince's sister and her husband are visiting, that's wonderful:) Staying active keeps life fun, I love to play games or put a puzzle together. I hope you get a photo of this mural, I'd love to see it! We have a baked ham for Christmas, every year. We already had two meals out of it, there's still a lot leftover! I told Jay, it would be nice to freeze part of it, for another time. Stay safe:)

Some of the hams are huge, aren't they? It should be a lovely day for a drive.

@kobesbuddy I found this ham to be quite salty. Luckily there were plenty of other things to eat. lol

@JudyEv Jay placed three large portions in the freezer, for another time. This ham isn't overly salty, which we appreciate!

That sounds interesting, looking forward to the pictures. Nothing wrong with a good ham sandwich! What is lemon butter? I love lemon curd - is it anything like that?

@JudyEv Yours looks very deep yellow so I wasn't sure. Lemon curd is just lemons, sugar and eggs, and can be made in the microwave too with the addition of a bit of cornflour (which doesn't seem to affect the taste). I love it!

Lemon butter and lemon curd are one and the same as far as I know. It's surprisingly easy to make. I'll be making more of it.

This is great, I also like murals, a beautiful work can be inscribed by artists on a wall, this definitely requires a special skill to make a beautiful mural

There is such a thing as too much ham. Freezing some is a good idea.

Lemon butter/curd is really easy to make. Two ounces of butter, two eggs, rind and juice of 2 lemons and four ounces of sugar. Beat the eggs, add the rest and stir over heat until the consistency of honey. So easy. lol It's my kind of recipe.

It was a bit hard to get a really good photo. They are sepia coloured so don't show up really clearly.
