Touche!

Can you tell I'm a tad restless?

Shopping Ban!

Day 3 of my self-imposed shopping ban and I'm getting the shakes. I need my crack!!! Fingers crossed that I make it to my deadline, aka Melbourne on October 23rd. No one tempt me with sales, please.

High Tea at Stamford with Fiona and the Eating Machine aka Isaac

Have you joined Grabone? If not, join up asap. It's a website that has one deal a day for all the major cities in NZ. One of the deals last week was buy 1 get 1 free for High Tea at Stamford Hotel. You all know how much I love my sweets so I snapped that puppy up pronto!

Lots of ladies there having high tea.. probably bought the same deal.

Fiona dressed herself and Isaac up for the occasion. Like father like son. Gavin has a top like that too.

His facial expressions are too funny! This is like "Yikes, check out what that lady is wearing!"

This one says "Meh, I'm bored with High Tea, Mum. Milk please!".

Fiona obviously needs to take photography lessons ... the light is atrocious and the shot is noisy (aka grainy/blurry)... haha. Oh well, I got to cuddle Isaac lots and had him to myself. Hohoho. No annoying Ee Ees fighting for attention here.

Then the food arrived.

Top tier: fruit and custard tart, berry cake, chocolate ganache cake.

Middle tier: Fruit scones, Chocolate scones, Raspberry Jam, Creaaaaam.

Bottom tier: Ham and Cheese sandwiches, Smoked Chicken sandwiches, Corn Beef sandwiches and Smoked Salmon sandwiches in the middle.

The sandwiches were just your run-of-the-mill sandwiches. The fruit scone was beautiful. The chocolate scone not so much. The top tier sweets didn't really steal my heart either. Oh well. Twas good to have a girlie arvo with the sister and the brat.

Macarons are the new Cupcakes, people.

Felt like macarons on Saturday so I went and bought a pack from the French cafe in Remuera. There's a macaron craze sweeping through Oz at the moment all thanks to Masterchef and it's rubbing off here in Auckland I think.

My preciiiious.

I tried stacking them vertically like all good food bloggers do but it didn't work and I smooshed the coffee one. Drats. Left to right : Black cherry, Coffee, Green Tea, Raspberry, Strawberry.

Innards shot of the coffee macaron.

And again of the raspberry one.

Verdict: I like Tetsuya's better. These are just sickly sweet instead of more-ishly sweet. My favourite was the dark cherry but I'm probably a tad biased since that's my favourite flavour when it comes to sweets. Well, that and lime.

Take That, Stupid Metabolism That Slows Down After The Big 3-0!

Hohoho I'm 51.7 kgs after a weekend of pigout in Wellington! Status quo was 53 kgs. Just had to brag... must have been the icy cold Welly wind... the old body had to work extra hard to warm up. Hmmm that's a good thing....

Ok i've decided now that my next target is to buy a house by the end of the year. So I can stop being a baby and be an adult like the rest of the world. Ha! Wish me luck. I like being a baby.

Oh My Gosh! I'm A Gleek!

It's winter and I've lost my blogging mojo. I've been watching Glee season 1 and oh my gosh is it good. The ONLY reason I'm watching it? Feast your eyes on the magnificent Matthew Morrison.. the teacher in Glee. He's like a Justin Timberlake lookalike, except he really can sing and dance. Hoho.







Ok just *slightly* obsessed.
