Thank you for the wonderful pictures and commentary. It would be difficult to ignore the Kookaburra for long in the morning. No sleeping in with that loud call outside your window. Better than a rooster/cockerel. Took me about 90 seconds to find Colera on Google maps (I enjoy switching from map setting to satelite setting to get the gist of an area.) It is about 5km from the Spanish/French border on the Mediterranean coast in Catalonia. My guess 'bona nit' is either Catalan or Aranese (Occitan).<br />Bill in Nova ScotiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624054933217819440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-30520586872499517042012-08-04T14:25:29.986+01:002012-08-04T14:25:29.986+01:00It's what we Aussies call Cantaloupe!

I happened to see one exactly the same today (in Sydney, on the other side of Australia) so I am wondering if they are from one of the home brands of Woolworths, one of the main supermarket chains we have here. Anyway, that's all they are, something to make the lunchbox look interesting (and pink!)theangelJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810328354620654615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-16413515312852606592012-08-04T05:59:40.790+01:002012-08-04T05:59:40.790+01:00Well done Pavlova!! your writing, photos, and humo...Well done Pavlova!! your writing, photos, and humor are delightful...so interesting to learn more about Australia...loved seeing the Kookaburra, my cats would love to watch/hear him (from inside of course)...BRAVO to your Mum, three children, a job, home & a working garden, yet she finds time to make yummy, interesting and healthy lunches, even an adult would love!!!

You can make them "pure" for spicy filling or sweet.<br /><br />Recipe:<br />2 large eggs<br />1/2 cup flour<br />1/4 cup milk<br />1 pinch of salt<br />1 tablespoon butter<br /><br />Directions<br />Mix ingredients together until smooth. Should be enough to make four pancakes, so pour about 1/4th of the mass into a pan with melted butter. Make sure to spread the mass evenly in the pan. As soon as the upper side isn't wet anymore, turn the pancake over to bake it on the other side too.<br /><br />IIf You use a spread with a creamy dressing (or one based on mayonaise..) it might be good to let the pancake cool a bit, so the dressing doesn't get runny.<br /><br />For the sweet version add sugar to taste to the mass before mixing. I'd use a tablespoon for the given recipe. Shouldn't be too sweet, 'cause most of the sweetness comes from the spread You use on the pancake ^^<br />Here in Germany we use marmelade / jam for that. Just spread some over the still hot pancake and make a roll from it.<br /><br />Or we add fresh fruit slices to the mass when it's put in the pan. Thin slices of apple are good, but nearly any fruit can be used. Just try it and see which fruits serves You best.<br />Children might like it best with banana ^^ <br /><br />MaikDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-18367373164706997292012-08-04T00:47:43.660+01:002012-08-04T00:47:43.660+01:00I listened to the kookaburra clip - its laugh soun...I listened to the kookaburra clip - its laugh sounds like those flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz!

...The recipe I use for pancakes is really simple :)<br />4 ounces (120grams) plain flour<br />2 eggs<br />Half a pint of semi skimmed milk (or sometimes quarter pint each of milk and water)<br /><br />Put the flour in a bowl and make a hole in the middle<br />Add the eggs<br />Mix well (it'll look v bumpy and disgusting)<br />Gradually add the milk/water, beating well<br /><br />Heat a small amount of butter in a frying pan (medium heat)- as the butter melts, spread it around to cover the frying pan's surface<br />When the butter is sizzling, pour in some mixture- enough to thinly cover the surface<br />Cook for approx two minutes then flip and cook for a further two (roughly) minutes<br /><br /><br />I use a fairly big pan and that makes six pancakes! I serve them hot with various toppings (ham/cheese/pesto/chicken/baked beans or even nutella/strawberries) but I'm sure they'll tast yummy cold too :)<br /><br />Hope that helps :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558411971508984341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-18561987811187746872012-08-03T23:11:35.053+01:002012-08-03T23:11:35.053+01:00Meredith,
