Change of Pace

So I'm sitting here, wearing tights, my new rosette nightie and a hoodie, listening to Regina Spektor and thinking about my Saturday feeling like my blog needs a new direction.

In the last 2 days I have made:
A whole roasted chicken with roasted vegies and steamed greens

Choc Mocha truffles

As well as a whole bunch of sandwiches.

Today we had a picnic in the park. My first Saturday off in such a long time and we spent it eating and talking and playing silly made up games.

So this brings me to:
I fully believe in surrounding oneself with beautiful things. Beautiful smells, sounds. thoughts, feelings, tastes and things. And I think my blog should be a reflection of this. So more food, more photos. More me.

This is a delicious heart shaped mushroom that the boy and I found when we stayed down at the beach for our anniversary. Very appropriate I thought. The fates approve our union.

It doesn't get any better than a cool strawberry and liquor flavoured beverage on a hot summers evening. I am making a pact this summer to make more fresh frozen beverages. Through my blog surfing I found this amazing looking recipe that I just can't wait to try
My favourite cupcakes on a Sunday afternoon
This is probably my favourite food photo that I've ever taken. Something about it is just so right. A friend have an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea at her school to show off their dessert skills. This was a citrus jelly tea cup.

I think I'm going to like this.
