Wellington on a Plate

What do you do when there’s the Food Event of the Year in your city – Wellington- and you desperately can’t enjoy it because of this annoying thing I told you earlier ?

Well, there are alternatives…

You can craft, instead of going for a lunch downtown with a bunch of sweet and lovely girls and discover a good cuisine…

You can go on Tuesday night to a potluck dinner, prepare a Diós rétes – walnut strudel- because the theme is Hungarian cuisine and meet Mike and other kind people but ultimately feast only with your eyes when time comes to eat…

Or you can simply blog about it, just for the sake of it…

Snacking On…

Sinemage Digestive cookie and pear smoothie

You were waiting for the sweet, weren’t you ?
Truth to be told, I didn’t bake that much.
I’m rather simply feasting on fruits and vegetables lately. A lot of them…

The only exception I did last time was to prepare these cookies, kind of digestive biscuits with ground rolled oat and toasted almond meal. Served with a pear smoothie, it makes an excellent afternoon snack.

And this week-end, Paprika and I enjoyed homemade sourdough crumpets for breakfast with honey and almonds.
And that’s pretty all.

And to be honest I miss it. To bake and to eat baked goods too.
So yesterday I made a laminated dough. I knew the end result would be much appreciated by Paprika for breakfast. As for me, it’s a way to keep up with things I like to do…

Are We There Yet ?

Sinemage Magnolia bloom

Looking at the frost outside yesterday morning, we are not there yet. No, winter is not over.
But when I walk by the beautiful magnolia in the Botanic Garden, I dream about Spring
And I know now it’s on the way. Soon !

The past days have been so pleasant…

Paprika and I caught the shuttle to Matiu-Somes island under a peaceful blue sky on Sunday.
And I walked up on the skyline at the beginning of the week to enjoy the view over Cook strait with Kaikoura ranges snow-capped.

Maybe I should have titled this post magnolia for ever
