Day 304 - Another Rocky Road

My third Rocky Road ever is blueberry and macadamia in dark chocolate and I made it to post to Dale's Mum for her birthday. I love how the dried blueberries look so black and shiny in it! This is almost like fruit and nut chocolate, except that it has the added bonus of marshmallows. Very yummy and easy; here's my recipe:

2 blocks of dark chocolate (about 400g)
the white marshmallows out of a mixed pack
small pack of macadamias
dried blueberries - I think that I put in about a cup or so

Melt the chocolate, mix it all up and set it in a tin lined with glad bake.

Enjoy!

Day 303 - Is That You Daddy?

Dale left at about 7 this morning on his way to Phillip Island for a couple of track days and all day Henry has been on his mobile... He must be on the phone to his Dad :P

Day 302 - Coffee Time!

We went over to Civic for a bit of shopping this afternoon and decided to stop for a much needed coffee at The Coffee Club. Henry seemed to enjoy this the most out of all of us, as he got to share both Dale's blueberry muffin and my almond friand. He also got to play with our table number which somehow gave him much enjoyment! Oh, you may notice his new reversible hat, made by Nanna with fabric that I bought a few weeks ago at the Handmade Markets. He rarely takes it off these days.

Day 301 - Pink, Pink, Pink

I wore my new rose pink wedges from Zu today. These are the ones that I picked up last Friday night. I also bought the fuschia coloured pumps on the same night. They are from Florsheim. I haven't ever bought shoes from there, but quite liked this pair and the fact that they had a medium heel, as well as being heavily discounted. Anyway, there I was thinking that it was slightly over the top that I bought two pairs of shoes that were both pink and patent and then I realised that I had another pair of pink patent Jane Debster heels at home. I think that should be about it for pink shoes for now! I really need more pink in the way of clothing to go with them!

Day 300 - Munch, Munch, Munch!

1M is very taken with our new little silkworms, who arrived at school today :) They even wanted to "give them a cuddle" but I am pretty sure that these little critters are quite happy munching away on their supply of mulberry leaves and pooing! They seem to like to interact, lifting their heads when the tank is opened and if you listen very carefully you can actually hear them eating! We hope to see the whole lifecycle before the end of term is out.

Day 299 - Words with Friends

Am I the last person to discover Words with Friends? I have had this on my iPod for quite some time, but never really got around to playing it. Tonight it kept me up late as I had to check it for every little buzz to see who was beating me next! According to rumour Dani and David were hard to beat and I was surprised to keep up with Mum's scores!

Day 298 - Think Pink

This shot is of the table after a lot of the pink food was demolished from this morning's Pink Morning Tea held at work to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The table looked really pretty all decked out in pink and there were some very creative pink food ideas; strawberries, watermelon, pink scones, pink rum balls, iced vovos, hundreds and thousand biscuits, pink iced oreos, salmon dip, pink lamingtons, cup cakes and more. Special thanks to Peta who took this pic for me as my little camera is drying out after I let it get wet yesterday!
