Skywatch Friday - A little blue sky

Friday 13th

Skywatch Friday - A little blue sky - but not enough to make a sailor a pair of trousers - Enid Blyton.

Anyone remember  Nannie Wimple cutting a piece of blue out of the sky to see if the weather was going to be fine so that Harry and Joan could play Red-Indians in the garden after dinner.

I read that story in the 60's and it has stayed with me all these years ;-)

Recipe Review - Cinnamon Tea Cake

I was in the mood for some baking last week - Mr Fixit wanted some more cake for 'the boys at work' who were doing another stint of overtime.

I had bought myself a new loaf tin recently and came across this recipe on Best Recipes and decided it would be perfect to christen my new tin.



This was a lovely cake - it took a little longer to cook than the recipe indicated, but I used a loaf tin and I am still getting used to my new oven.   Recipe for Cinnamon Tea Cake can be found HERE

It must not have been too bad LOL .... as Mr Fixit came home with only 1 piece left and he had to rescue that one for himself ;-)  Oh, and the boys have decided they will no longer work during the week, only on weekends because then they get cake :)

It has been requested for his birthday cake next week - along with Jazz's Triple Choc Brownies from Challenge #8 of the Cooks Club  see full Challenge #8 HERE

Must be off, my labour saving device (washing machine) is calling me ;-)

The Ducks are back

some of you may remember way back when I first got my NikonD3100 (August 2011) some of the very first photos I took were of some ducks that surprisingly appeared on our driveway and front garden.

Well, I went out on Saturday morning (24th August 2013 ) to get the paper, and the ducks were back - well, I presume they were the same ducks ;-)








For those that missed the post, way back in 2011 - here are some pics





EDITED:  Just checked the dates on the photos - it is two years to the week (11th August 2011)

Bake Club Challenge - September 2013

Over on taste.com.au the current Bake Club Challenge is to make something for morning or afternoon tea from their selection of recipes.

The September challenge winner will be taking away a copy of "Planet Cake: Celebrate Cake making for all occasions" by Paris Cutler (Murdoch Books).
I had bought myself a new slice tin last month with the intention of taking part in the August Bake Challenge of Slices, but the month disappeared into the blink of an eye ;-)

When this month's challenge came out, I searched for slices within the recipes provided and came across the Rasberry Coconut Slice that I was intending to make in the previous month's challenge - so I figured it was meant to be :)   MissBingley made it and it looked yummy, AND it sounded like something Mr Fixit would like.







This slice is sooo yummy - and not as sweet as it looks ;-)

The selection of recipes to choose from is HERE

It is so nice to be back baking again - I am still getting used to my new oven, but I am still a happy little vegemite ;-)
