Recipes needed....

Well I will try to attach some photos now before I dash off to my Spanish class! Oh joy of joys. I now have Spanish lessons 4 days a week - it's a killer! My poor head is on overdrive. Amanda and I have lessons together on a Monday with Dona Reina and then on Tues, Wed and Thurs after school we have group lessons in our school here run by Silvia. These lessons are good for socialising as there are white teachers from other schools who come and so we get to see other friends. Blows my brain up though after working all day! Kill or cure I say.
Here is a picture of my housemates: Mark, Amanda and Noel.


This is my at the top of the volcano with the gorgeous view behind.


Our house has an infestation of Woodworm at the moment. They have removed a table for us as you could see the woodworms all over it and if you left paper on it at night by the morning they would have eaten holes through it! Our chairs have the same problem, as does our dining table and so all over our floor is wood-dust that they have left behind! Fairly grim. It's amazing how you become so blase about things. As Amanda and I were walking trough town the other day 2 enormous cockroaches pootled across our path and entered the house we were passing. We thought nothing of it - although afterwards wondered if we should have trodden on them to stop them entering someone else's house!

Amanda leaves for Canada tomorrow as she is heading home for a friend's wedding. It will be nice to have some space and to have my house to myself, it won't be lonely as the boys are only next door for company! We have started a 'Make Mark Fat' campaign here now. He has been sick and has lost loads of weight and as he was tall, lanky and thin to start with it's not good news for him. I'm all for making thin people fat and so am baking away!!! Why is it that it is the thin people who lose all the weight? Not that I want t be sick mind you!

Now..I'm on a baking and cooking spree...please can people email me with good recipes for lasagne, shepherds pie, lemon drizzle cake (Kath had a good recipe once, think it was in the St G's cookbook)and any other nice cakes, dishes. We can get most foods here somehow - or can adapt accordingly! I need some good home cooked food!

Right, time for Spanish class...
