A four year old

With cake eyes.

Rocket Cake.

And a wombat in space.

afternoon tea

Yesterday I made a pear upside down cake. It was glazed with cinnamon and orange juice. I like an excuse to bake a cake. Thanks miss Hooper for having a birthday afternoon tea.

birthday girl

Happy Birthday lovely lady. Brookie and I concocted a plan to babysit, and whilst babysitting bake a surprise birthday cake for the lady of the moment. Unfortunately Amory had other ideas, and they didn't get to go out to dinner as he wouldn't go to sleep.

Meanwhile I was waiting in the back alley with an unbaked cake, hoping to get word to come in and bake it. Poor Andrea had no idea, and was confused by the attempts to explain. It turned out Ok though, as the smell of baking chocolate cake took over the house. Yum.

Happy Birthday beautiful lady!

woodstump

it was adams birthday. i made berry pancakes for breakfast ...


and a woodstump dark ginger cake...


sorry i've been a bit absent of late. working a lot. eating a lot.

we made wontons, inspired a little by ester at full as a goog. plenty of room for improvement but still delicious. yes, food is my friend.

this week is catch up week... so call me if you wanna have coffee or beer, though i'm not good at drinking lately and might fall off my chair or something.

oh yeah chutney club looms, so i better get busy.

happy birthday to ronan yesterday. if you see him this week give him a kiss. or feed him. i will, if he lets me.

overly fascinated

spring racing huh... go to the races then. my tolerance for fascination is about pushed to the wall, thank god it's almost over... all these rabid shoppers makes me even more inclined to slop around in baggy hoodies and shorts... with nary a feather in site. and i like feathers.

highlights included the japanese jockey calling his winning steed, a super horse... that was kinda sweet... i placed my first tab bet... i won my money back... adam won MORE and is now adamant he can become a regular gambler and make money...

i baked two cakes.

i spent the afternoon in good company talking homemade sausages and admiring kades new granita machine swirling icy vodka slushies... hello summer...

i saw and loved animal collective, i smiled and yelled... we walked home alongside the river after peeing on trees. it's pretty in the city at night, til you get to where the people are...

then i've been working... alot... which i'm not really handling too well... i just want to go to bed... so i am NO FUN...

happy birthday scorpion
