Autentico!

When invited to a Mexican Feast it is only appropriate that one makes authentic sweets to bring. In this case, Flan and Polvorones (cinnamon cakes)

The perfect accompaniment to tortilla chips with salsa, tacos and enchiladas.
VAMOS FELICIDAD!

 Thanks to my trusty volume "Mexican Cooking" for the recipes. I purchased this book over 20 years ago, after being inspired by the delicious food I ate on a trip to Mexico at the tender age of 19.

Lucky Find

Today I had  to supervise a student on placement at an out of the way place, and on the way home I chanced upon a little  op-shop full of the most delightful treasures.

I just had to buy this pair of dolls for my kinder. Their cheery dresses and smiling faces made them impossible to resist. And can you spot the secret that is making these mamas look so happy?

 This little vintage ballerina print was perfect for my very own Ballerina, and a steal at 99cents

And I just loved this set (7) of little cake plates.

There were plenty of other goodies that caught my eye too, but I tried to be really good.

I am secretly hoping that I may need to visit this student again in the near future!

Meat Free Monday

Corn Fritters with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Yum!

Perfect Sunday

A lovely lunch at a Pub with ocean views then a walk along a coastal track. Perfect way to celebrate a Family Birthday, and only an hour away from home.

Note to self....must do this again soon

14, already!

My little ballerina turned 14 and celebrated this weekend with a pizza party/sleepover and a couple of friends

It is amazing thing to watch little girls growing into young ladies. It is scary, rewarding, fun, demoralising and challenging all at the same time! And it all happens so, so fast....

Getting back to blogging

Some images from my last last couple of weeks

 that make me smile

Hope you are all smiling too!

Happy Australia Day
