Food Glorious food!







Hubby home this morning -not so fresh after long flight. Lucky he has been schmoozing with the likes of Oprahs chef and co and has delivered me a lovely autographed cookbook. Food is love ! Cant wait to cook the Hummingbird cake and Blueberry crisp.










Also a little excited over my potatoes today - we are having a supper (NOT DINNER) of rack of lamb, brocollini and mix of kipfler and purple congo potatoes (bargain at only $1.50 a carton from Clayfield Markets!) check you the divine purple colour. I have drizzled with olive oil and the oil also has shots of bright purple. XXOO

How divine is this cake!

Growth

It has been a while since I have been blogging - I have been busy trying to live life. Last week I finished my last radiotherapy!! My hair is growing back - still wearing a wig but it is growing quickly. I have eyebrows again and my eyelashes are nearly there.

The last seven months feel like a bad but awakening dream!!! Still feeling emotional under the surface but the process of every day living pushes you along. I am looking forward to a fabulous fiji holiday to Malolo Island with my boys. A few weeks ago we had cracker of a party for hubbys birthday and danced till 3am in the morning!!


Hubby in Chicago at the moment so today I stayed in the PJ's all day except to buy coffee as the coffee maker is away! I baked chop chip/condensed milk biscuits (recipe from back of choc chip packet) and beautiful vanilla/chic swirl cake from my favourite cook book Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros. Attention to detail lacking - forgot to add the cream but the abundance of butter ensured it was moist!

In regards to house things I am spring cleaning in Autumn (well I am behind everyone else!) I need to purchase some new lampshades next but will need to start researching!! I love this orchid fabric from the Raoul . Anyway better put the bunnies to bed. L KDXO
