Hello Possums!

Hi, I love to dress up. I also love bags, hats, shoes and all that sort of girly stuff. I am looking forward to spending lots of time shopping with Mum and my Aunties when they come to visit!

Liam's New Excavator

Hi, Dad took this photo of me last night, and its a bit fuzzy but you get the picture. Here's my new digger! We spotted this when I went to the City for the day with Kaila and Dad. We walked all over town looking for a Spider Man suit and we just happened to walk past this great shop which has stacks of model cars and you-beaut trucks! It does everything a digger has to do and I love it. I think Dad likes it too. Santa please note, the B-Double model truck is in this shop too...........

Hey guys, check me out! Kaila a few weeks ago.

Kindy

Our young man is growing up, just about finished his first year at Kindy.

Has asked for a model B-Double Truck for his birthday!

Gusto at Sydney Fish Markets

How about this for a tasty little snack? A few weeks ago (I am the worls slackest blogger), AK, Colin and I did the Gusto Italian gig at the Sydney Fish Markets - tastings cooking demo's, cooking classes etc...On one Stall we did for Kirkfood we offered thsi for the punters, and they LOVED it. We've just started bringing in Italian Prosciutto di San Daniele from Italy and we teamed it up with Mozzarella di Bufala and a sprig of basil, a neat drizzle of Gargiulo Olive Oil from the Amalfi all sitting on a slice of Sonoma Sour Dough baguette. Suffice to say they were extremely pleased with our offerring.

Kaila's Christening Saturday 23rd June 2007

Here we are outside the Church for Kaila's Chistening. Father Bob did a great job even though we did manage to set the Alter Candle on fire by accident. Kaila was lovely and the centre of attention up front with Godparents Claire and Fitzy who made a special trip over from New Zealand

Thanks for the Rabbits

Liam and I went for a walk down to Abbotsford Cove early Saturday morning and came across Flopsy and Mopsy, munching on some green grass. Anyway we thought we'd make an old favourite of ours, Rabbit Pie. Nick and Susan Hickson came over and Vicki as well, but Charlie got called out at the last minute and had to go collect a young man who fell foul of the law.





We slow cooked them in some red wine and chicken stock for about 6 hours till the meat was falling off the bone. Then, we cooked up the kidneys, added some mushrooms and bacon, parsley and a spoon of Creme Fraiche and the mix was made. You have to have home-made pastry for this sort of treat so Anne whipped up her Short Crust Pastry and then filled the pies - here's the result - served on mushy peas with buttery mashed spuds, Brussel sprouts and a green salad. Simply Delicious!
