The lovely K had a brunch on Sunday which was just gorgeous...look how much trouble her and M went to....
K is super clever and uber creative, she has the ability to make a home, homely, if you know what I mean? We all oooheed and aahhed over her new acquisition... I'm finding the stockist and I'll report back!
And her painting....that's right K did this - herself!!
Speaking of homely I made a roast last night..
And a boiled chocolate cake on Saturday, it was delicious...
I detest buying "Coles" brand anything as all my friends know, as they stifle competition and if we all continue to take them up on their underpriced products we'll eventually be left with nothing but Coles brand everything on the shelf....alas they did have peonies on the weekend so I succumbed..
I hate to end this blog post on an awful note but husband and I went to an open home on Saturday...for a house that is listed at $665,000..seriously. One room was furnished, the rest was empty. This was the styling..
Note to person who sells ridiculously over-priced home - pulling a quilt down does not make it inviting! It must be a bloke?
We took M &J to the Reds on Saturday night - what a great game! The train trip back to the car wasn't as fun with "major delays due to a power outage at Corinda". I'll quote M - "you just can't catch public transport in Brisbane, it is hopeless". Yes it is.
Love the white, what a difference it makes!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the homebrand. I make an exception with frozen blueberries.
Tell me about this boiled cake?
That bed is disgusting!!!!
I'm glad I have you on the "say no to home brand" bandwagon Loz but I agree, we all need one exception to the rule! We were saying the other night that when it was called "home brand" no one bought it, all this fancy pants marketing and calling it "Woolworths Select" and suddenly everyone thinks it is ok, it IS really home brand with a fancy label - those marketers deserve a medal for fooling everyone. It is tough trying to teach companies a lesson I tell you. As if my one less purchase counts at all...
DeleteI'll post the recipe for the boiled cake, you boil the sugar, butter, water, cocoa and vanilla, let it cool and then add the flour and the eggs. It was a bit of a process but well worth the effort, I've been making chocolate cakes seemingly for years in the search of that exact result!
