A (few) week(s) in review!!

Busy, busy, busy!! And so so tired. So it's time to play catchup....

My treasured memories. They bring a smile to my face at a couple of weeks old. I can't wait to look back on them again in years to come.

Clockwise from main :-
- Pupil of the Week - second one this term!! Well done, Little Miss M
- Baby Mac patient and accommodating at her face painting session
- Dear Husband and his stationery puppet show
- A little time for the creative arts
- A little time out and a much needed coffee

For the family album... enjoying the end of summery days with impromptu picnics, rolling in the grass and local festivities

Monkey See; Monkey Do

I was just monkeying around the kitchen... I had some dough leftover from baking dinner rolls and cinnamon buns (yeah - it was alot of dough!) and I had seen this idea from the Pioneer Woman previously. Cinnamon, butter, sugar and a dash of sweetened condensed milk - yes please!!! Ok, so maybe, just maybe, I accidentally on purpose put some dough aside just so I could indulge in this .... well, indulgence. And what an indulgence - worse still, an easy indulgence as I already had the dough. Caramelised cinnamon sugar with a bit of bread covered with sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I really need to say more. And, in honour of Father's Day, we had special "WE heart DADDY" pancakes... ok ok - I ran out of time, energy and ideas this year.

The view was essential Melbourne with old buildings towered by new (ish, anyway), and small non-descript laneways hiding a treasure trove of glorious food and eclectic shops. Shanghai Street Dumpling House is a small diner-like eatery like many other Asian eateries around Melbourne. Limited seating is available, but the turn around of customers was quick from what I could observe, so the wait did not seem long for a table. Service is fast and efficient. Cash only. Really – a no fuss place. The...
