Tuesday Tune - Theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean.

G'Day lovely friends and welcome friends to NatashaInOz.com, my little bloggy home Down Under.
Today's #TuesdayTune has a bit of a Halloween flavour to it, since today is Halloween!

Natasha in Oz, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Tuesday Tune,

I am sure that many of us have seen the Johnny Depp movie Pirates of the Caribbean and as much as I liked the movie, I really loved the soundtrack even more!


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the soundtrack for the Disney movie of the same title, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The score was composed by Hans Zimmer.


Hans Zimmer is a German composer and music producer. For nearly three decades he has composed music for over 100 films including:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest(2006)
The Da Vinci Code(2006)
King Arthur(2004)
The Last Samurai(2003)
The Thin Red Line: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack(1999)
Broken Arrow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack(1996)
Beyond Rangoon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack(1995)
Crimson Tide: Music From The Original Motion Picture(1995)
The Power Of One: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack(1992)
Green Card: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack(1991)
Rain Man: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1989 Soundtrack)(1990)
Driving Miss Daisy: Original Soundtrack(1990)


Phew!

His works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has won four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Classical BRIT Award, and an Academy Award. Zimmer also has been ranked Number 72 on the list of the "Top 100 living geniuses", published by The Daily Telegraph.

I hope you enjoy the Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song!

YuMmY pUmKin MufFinS!

Even though the days are getting warmer Down Under I have been so inspired by the Autumn baking that is happening all over blogland that I decided to bake some pumpkin muffins!


I found this easy recipe on the Martha Stewart website and they are absolutely delicious! My son Big Al who does not really like pumpkin ate several of them and raved about how "Yummy" they were!

The recipe makes 12 HUGE muffins or 24 smaller ones.

You will need:

3/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour,
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour,
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (I made my own with 1/2 tsp cinnamon,1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/8 tsp allspice and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups pumpkin puree (I found a place that sells American goodies and I bought a can of Libby's Pumpkin!

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3 large eggs
1 cup turbinado/demerara sugar sugar, plus 2 tablespoons more for sprinkling
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

These muffins are so easy to make! Just preheat your oven to 180C/350F degrees. Brush muffin tins (each  with oil and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda; set aside.


In a large bowl, whisk oil, pumpkin puree, yogurt, eggs, and 1 cup sugar to combine; add 1 cup walnuts and reserved dry ingredients. Mix just until moistened (do not overmix).


Divide evenly and spoon batter into muffin tins; sprinkle tops with remaining walnuts and sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan.

A Home Tour - My Mom Cave or "A Room of One's Own."

Welcome friends to Natasha In Oz. I am so thrilled that you have taken time out of your busy day to spend some time with me in my little corner of the world, Down Under!

Today I am so excited to be taking you on a little Home Tour!

A Home Tour - My Mom Cave or "A Room of One's Own."


My 'Mom Cave' is really our sitting room area. It is a room that is shared by everyone in the family so perhaps it is officially not a room of my own but it is the place where I relax, read, converse, decorate over and over again and just love being in.

Welcome to My Mom Cave!

This is the room that we use for entertaining.....

It is also the room where I sit down at night with my family to chat about our day.....

We watch TV in here at night too.

I don't often get to choose what to watch but this is one of my favourite shows to watch in my Mom Cave!

I often sit here by myself during the day with a cuppa and a magazine.
