Do you like to exercise? Why or why not? No I hate exercise but menopausal, middle aged mothers with a love of baked goods have NO choice in the matter !!

Look at this AMAZING concoction !!

The snow bunny in Japan sent me this picture after sampling the contents. Whilst I am mad for all things chocolate I cannot imagine how this would taste or feel in my mouth. Definitely seems a good reason to visit Japan, wonder if I could get it on Ebay.

Yesterday I had the lovely opportunity of meeting Suz, here in my own loungeroom. She came to purchase a large amount of secondhand books. I just cannot store another thing so culling has occurred. She has taken the books to sell from her own home and online store. She was a fount of information, has her own blog and a fascinating and enviable job working from home surrounded by 1000's of books. Mine could not have found their way to a better home.

Look at this pie - no blackbirds were harmed in the making !! But what a dainty dish !!

That particular nursery rhyme used to always upset me - I just couldn't understand who would put blackbirds or any birds in a pie - eeuuuhhhh!!! I like ornamental birds but not real ones and I certainly hate holding them - I hate feeling that fragile little skeleton. Any way about this pie - how luscious does it look, how warming and rustic !! And it was made by a man from scratch and no recipe was involved either or songbirds of any sort.

Look - fresh out of the oven, anyone for morning tea ??

Muffin making is often hit an miss for me but these have turned out okay, it would seem. The patient gave them the thumbs up and they were easy to do. Soak all bran for ten minutes and then add the other ingredients. I added diced yellow peach and choc chips. I haven't sampled one yet  and may not as they will shortly go into the freezer for the dreaded school lunches that recommence in a few short days. I have had 20 straight years of school lunches and the end of them will be a huge cause for me to celebrate - roll on December !!

How to cure the winter blues? Exercise and chocolate.

Look What is in My Garden Despite Furnace-like Heat and High Winds

I am no gardener but I think this is a gardenia or relative of . I have 2 little bushes planted and although not thriving - is anything in this drought - it has managed to grow a little tiny flower, just one I might add .

Look at Today's Harvest - sorry to keep boasting !

Look at the last - or nearly the last - of this glorious green silverbeet.

I have just been substituting silverbeet for spinach in loads of recipes to use up this wonderful healthy vegie that has grown so well.
