Welcome Little Oliver

Well it has happened again - another baby born while we are holidaying overseas. This makes 4 out of the 5 grandchildren we have-all born while we were away.
Daughter Tracey had promised to stay put until we were home but little Oliver had other ideas.
After a 20 hour flight from Canada and USA we opted to drive home and sleep before meeting the little lad the next day.

The severely jet lagged Thermo Nanny had planned to do some cooking for the new Mum and family but hubby (also jet lagged) had other ideas. He wanted to drive the 1 1/2 hours to Sydney and get home before he fell asleep again!

Thank goodness for my Thermomix I didn't arrive empty handed. With not enough time for cooking even a 30 second coconut cake I had to think quickly.

Ah yes - I found a frozen meal of Skinnymixers Butter Chicken and  a tupperware container of Energy Bliss Balls from the fridge. A Chocolate Caramel Slice whipped up and cooked in under 1/2 hour meant I didn't have to arrive empty handed.
