Rice, Leek and prosciutto Frittata

Got this recipe from the March edition of Super Food Ideas magazine (thanks Sue). Literally just finished eating this for dinner and it is great. Loving leeks so this is really good. It's healthy and tasty! 4.5/5 stars!

Serves 4, Time 45 mins (unless you are a ninja like me)

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of rice
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 large leek, halved and sliced thinly
- 6 slices prosciutto, chopped
- 8 eggs (I only had 7 and it turned out perfect)
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 100g mixed salad leaves (I just used normal lettuce)

1. Cook rice like you normally would
2. Heat oven to 180 degrees fan forced
3. Grease and line a 20cm square baking dish with baking paper
4. Fry leeks and prosciutto in oil (in a pan) until leeks become soft
5. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, lightly beat them, add leek mixture, cooked rice and 1/2 of the cheese.
6. Mix it up and pour into the prepared baking dish to cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes (25mins came out perfect for me)
7. Serve with salad bits :)

How to sew a clasp to a medal

The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch). I only suggest it could have been around the edges because then the mini an full would look the same. Did some research and based on the pictures that I could find (note: mainly British medals) the stitch on the full medal goes only between the two eyelets. What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...

NEW - Jagermeister premix cans

For all those Jager lovers out there it now comes in a premixed can!!! Raw is Jagermeister and Pulse (energy drink) tastes exactly like a Jager-bomb that has exploded. Ginger Lime is Raw with a bit of extra flavour. It reminded me of a Smirnoff Mule, so if you like Mule and you like Jager this is the ideal drink. Each can is 1.7 Australian Standard Drinks and 6.5% alcohol. I paid $5.50 a can, which is pretty expensive (Aussie premix drink tax didn't help) but I was excited to check them out. Bottoms up!

New Elna - Elina 21 - Sewing Machine

Got my first sewing machine for Christmas from my Mum and Dad. Super excited about it because I've always enjoyed sewing since high school home-ec classes and doing a little bit of costume making at home, and have a few things to do that require a sewing machine. Elna Elina 21 has got all the basic stitches and settings that I'll need and comes with a zipper and button foot. Had a flick through the menu with Bede and did a practice of all the stitches to see what they looked like and also to test the tension. Very please with the machine and I'm about to start a proper project on it, Free Frilly Apron Pattern , which can be followed from this link . Got extra bobbins that fit this machine from Ebay . They were super cheap ($6.80 for 25) and came in a bobbin case which was great. And you can get the same ones in rainbow colours which was really cool.
