What am I, five?

Today's afternoon tea:



Mexican hot chocolate snickerdoodles from the forthcoming Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and homemade rosewater lemonade.

Inspired by the lemonade at Mezza, my rosewater lemonade is so easy to make. I don't have an exact recipe, but I dissolve about a third of a cup of sugar in some boiling water in a two-litre jug, then add the juice of three lemons and a decent slosh of rosewater, then fill the rest of the jug up with cold water. I like my lemonade to be nice and tangy and not too sweet, so this recipe works well for me.. it can obviously be adapted to suit your tastes.

Yum!

(PS.. do you like my special favourite HSM glass?)

Leftovers #2: Melbourne.

Welcome to the second in my series of Leftovers - the posts where I make you look at all the photos that didn't make the cut in my regular posts!



Let me explain this photo. Lora had never eaten kangaroo before, EVER (I know, right?!). This is Lora taking her VERY first bite of an amazing kangaroo steak at the Edinburgh Castle in Brunswick. The verdict? Yum!



This house was clearly named after me. Cool, right?

I walk past this house nearly every day on my way to and from work, but I only noticed the sign painted on the side a couple of weeks ago. I love finding stuff like this.



A laundromat in Lygon St. I love hanging out in laundromats, except for when the washing machine doesn't spin my clothes and I have to drag them home, dripping all the way.





A Pratese reunion at Bimbo's.



And my BFF at Bimbo's, another time. She doesn't look impressed, I know, but I think this is such a great photo. It's such a Preethi expression.




I treated myself the other day with some teeny cakes from Brunetti's. YUM.

Last but not least, some gorgeous silly women. LOVE.

PS.. There is more to come! I don't have internet access at home right now so I have a HUGE backlog of photos to post, but I am slowly catching up. Be patient, petals!
