dinner prep

i love italy, the produce is to die for. we ate and drank so well! we holidayed with our best friends, who also love their food and can 

cook up a delicious storm. every mealtime was a joy for the senses. can we go back now, please?

good food

i've eaten some particularly tasty food recently - husband-made as well as out and about.

pictured: the rose bakery carrot cake - made by the husband. almost as good as the real one!

watermelon and strawberry cake by black star pastry. i had been dying to try this and it was amazing.

gelato from gelato messina - the best gelato in sydney

crossiants made my the husband. he's just about perfected them!

not pictured: we've had delicious meals at rockpool bar and grill with my parents,

dinner with friends at fratelli fresh,

and lunch with maria and her husband at room 10.

so if you're in sydney i'd advise you to try all these places.

do you have any recommendations for me?

photos above from my instagram, you can follow online now as well.

the simple things

the husband has been perfecting the art of making crossiants.. needless to say i'm one happy lady. the above photo is the first batch 
he's made. they've improved a lot since then. waking up to the smell of crossiants baking in the oven is divine. 

we've been taking things easy, i've felt a bit tired and emotional - thanks to baby boy :)

but the air is warm, we eat gelato often and we go for long walks. it's the simple things.

lazing about

 

 

whilst away i enjoyed not doing a lot. the days consisted of: lazing about, visiting gardens with my mum, reading, napping in the 
hammock, playing cards and scrabble and eating my dad's delicious deserts - above you will see his first attempt at a tarte tatin.

found: madrid 2010

 

so along with the photos from paris i'd forgotten about, it appears i forgot about a selection from madrid all the way back in the spring 
of 2010! so i'm going to share them with you now. better late than never.
