Happy Anniversary

Well Mr S and I have been married for 7 years today and there is not an itch in site!! What a wonderful seven years it has been to.  I think they broke the mould when they made my husband.  Life would just not be the same without him.  Love you lots Mr S and here's to the next 60 years.  Let's hope we live that long xx00

The Outdoor Room

Look what I spied in the shop today.  It's the first issue of Jamie Durie's new magazine The Outdoor Room.  I can't wait to read it cover to cover.  I love his work.  Hopefully it will be full of inspiration and Mr S might do something more with our disgusting back yard which I find rather depressing.  I dont' like spending any time out there and neither does DJ.  He has to be thrown on to the back lawn to do his daily wee.  He then gets right off it.  I think it's saying something when your dog doesn't even want to spend time out there!!



Mr S will be thinking "not another magazine to add to the collection"  I am pretty sure if I didn't buy magazines we could possibly be millionaires by now :-)

DJ would Love these!!

I just found all of these pictures over on The Sweetest Occasion and I just had to share with you, being the dog person that I am and having one of the cutest dogs around, not that I am biased in anyway.  Don't you think DJ would just love these and look so gorgeous in them.

Jan Powers Manly Markets

As I told you last week we were going to be making a trip on the weekend to the Jan Powers Manly markets.  They don't disappoint.  What a great market.  So much good food, and we all know how I love good food.  We bought some garlic bread that was just divine, it also had cheese and spinach on it, no photo of that.  It got eaten to quickly.

The last time we were there was quite a few months ago.  There was a new stall there since the last time that sold the most amazing looking cakes and slices.  Think it was called Boutique Bites or Gourmet Bites.  Can't really remember.  Anyway we also got some cakes.  Here is a little picture of them.  They were absolutely delicious and we will definitely be getting some more of them next time.

And I can't forget the popcorn.  Only the best popcorn ever.  Sweet and Salty at the same time.

Hope you all have a great weekend.  I might just have to make a trip to the New Farm markets to get some more yummy cakes and popcorn!!!


 

Muffins

Banana mapel muffins.  Sound good, don't they?  It's been a long time since I have done any baking.  When my October issue of Good Food arrived they caught my eye instantly.

And the equipment needed and lets get started.

Must listen to music while baking.  It was the Foo Fighters today.

Eating this while doing this post.  It was yummy!!

Hope you all have a fab week.



T.G.I.F

I love the weekends, mainly because I actually get to spend some time with Mr S.  This weekend not much is planned.  A trip to The Jan Powers Manly Markets on Saturday and that's about it.  What exciting things do you have planned for the weekend?  Whatever you are doing I hope you have fun doing it.

I am going to leave you with some of my favourite quotes I have found while surfing the net.  Sorry if there are no photo credits for some of them, typical me doesn't always note them down.
