Avocado and Vegemite toast.
Don’t judge me.

I have always been fascinated by Candy Corn from watching American television, especially Sesame Street. Sadly, they don’t taste as good as they look to me, but I still like to keep a jar just to look at and as a decoy for any children looking for my dark chocolate stash!

This is a pillow made with a drop cloth – I love the random texture and color of the drop cloths, they are surprisingly soft after a good wash. The gorgeous vintage bird graphic comes from the graphicsfairy website – love her!

Did you know you are never too old to torment your sister?

It’s true.

You might, probably, be too mature to torment your sister. In theory, anyway.

But, it’s still hellfire fun.

She slapped me after these pictures, you know.

Hands down, every time!
And, yes, that little piece there was gone before I even put the camera down.

I grew up with this lovely old school map of the world and I miss the romantic names of places like Persia and Batavia.

These are shoes I ordered online from a shop rhyming with ‘Vitner’ .  Unfortunately, these are  a different color from the shoes I ordered and the price on the receipt was double what I was supposed to pay on sale. The customer service email address appears to broken and the nice lady on the end of the phone said I could pop into my local store in South Australia to get them changed. Uh no. Oh and also it was just my receipt was wrong, I hadn’t actually paid more money.  Silly me.  I kind of thought ‘good’ shops like that had more ideas about customer service, and yet I’m keeping these because I’d like to have ‘any’ pair of sandals to wear before summer finishes – tomorrow. So how dumb am I?
Rant over. Sorry.

My water cress is growing nicely in there but now I’m a little worried about eating it.

Oh alright..

Mmmm Homemade Beignets… Not ‘poo’ as suggested by a teenager who was woken by the nice frying smells.

Easy made if you are a breadmaker – just use your sweetest bread dough – even leftover dough (like Challah or Brioche)  roll flat, sprinkle with cinnamon, cut into small squares and then fry a few at a time in 2 – 3 inches of hot oil, drain well, dredge in icing sugar and more cinnamon if that’s your taste (it is ours!).  Eat with a nice cup of coffee….Heaven!
