Do you eat your desert first??

I know you all have been very patient with me so every now and then I'll give you a treat! Here's a little sample of what's been keeping me busy and away from my blog! I give you Steamed Pudding with Ginger Syrup and a Lemon Aspen Cream. This is part of my menu for the Preview Restaurant for next year. I'll let you have your desert first if your really really good. Thanks for looking! PS I'm happy to give out the recipe.

So much going on.

At the moment we are negotiating about selling our house. It's such a long and drawn out process to-ing and fro-ing about price. How do you put a price on 22 years of memories? After having a mini meltdown the other morning, I have realized that its the right thing to do and it's time for us to move on. Now its just a matter of getting rid of 22 years of accumulated crap! The photo I leave you with today isn't of my house, instead it's a photo of one of my very favorite places. It's where I escape too when things get too hard.

This boy/man

This man was born exactly 21 years ago. He's still my baby even though he likes to think he's a man. Happy Birthday Jordan! We love you!

The best laid plans...

You know I had great plans for posting more often during my break from TAFE but where did that time go?? Anyhoo here is my latest batch of cards for Trin. I'm just getting to know my new toy 'The Big Shot'. A special thanks goes out to my friend Karen for allowing me to use her cute bird punch.

It's time I came back

Hi everyone. I'm back. I can't make any excuses, just laziness. It's not that I haven't been active, just not active in a creative way. Some days life just gets in the way. I'm not complaining mind. My clever hubby loves to carve things. Of course with me doing the foody thing it was only a matter of time before he embraced the concept of cooking even if it isn't quite what I had in mind. Here are a couple of pictures of what he's been doing.

I know it.

Yeah I know it that I have been really really slack in posting on my blog. Sorry, I really am. Life just gets in the way doesn't it? I have been a tiny bit productive as you will see but I have to admit, this cooking course thing is just inhibiting my time and I'm not sure I like it! What am I saying? Of course I'm enjoying it! The trouble is, after a full day of thinking of nothing but food, food and more food, the old creative juices have evaporated, yes poof! evaporated! And then dear heart of mine expects me to come home and cook him dinner!!!!! Here are a couple of gift cards that I have done for Trin's shop. Don't forget they are only small.
