Let them eat cake!

So for those of you who don't already know, today my baby turned six! I can hardly call him a baby anymore. No soppy post I promise, not yet anyway.
So being a Tuesday Jack is at school and after the dramas he's had a school he doesn't want a party so I made cake to take in for his class. I should now apologise to his lovely teacher for sending his entire class hyperactive and then leaving. Sorry about that.

Jack's cake decoration. Stig lego.



A tyre cake. Boring but devoured in 1 minute flat.



So blurry, Jack was so excited I couldn't get him to stand still.


Jack, his class and his beautiful teacher. I didn't instruct them to do anything, one started then they all did it. Weird children full of sugar. Oh well.

Boot Shopping

Since my boot disaster I have been on the hunt for a new pair. There are a lot of ugly ugly boots out there. I have found a few I'd love to have but really I just want my old boots back in a better condition. Sigh. I'll get there.
So in the meantime check out these.
Nocona Sierra Madre Square-Toe Cowboy Boots - New Zealand Lamb (For Women)

Love these boots, sadly they are $146.53 I wont be buying them but if you want to go  Here

These are free postage but they are still $247.58. Want them? 
 
 
 
 
I haven't decided if these are cool or ugly? Either way I'm not buying them. Tell me what do you think of these?
 
I'll be sure to let you know when/if I find an awesome pair. Wish me luck!

New Recipe Saturday

My name is Kate and I have wife guilt.
I used to make Michael's lunch everyday. Then we had a baby, then we had one more, then you guessed it, we had one more. I fell off the good wife wagon and left my husband to fend for himself. It wasn't pretty or nutritious.
So I've been tying to make sure there is something in the fridge for him, either leftovers or if he's majorly lucky I will spend valuable nap time in the afternoons and make him something. So today I whipped up some ham cheese and tomato muffins. I changed them a little because I didn't want to go back to the supermarket. I used bacon instead of ham and I added a can of corn. I made a double batch and used texas muffin trays insted of normal muffin trays.

Before:


After:

Ingredients:


90g shaved ham, chopped
2/3 cup cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup self-raising flour
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbs flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/3 cup milk
2 tbs olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and pepper

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

2. Place self-raising flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Place egg, shaved ham, cheddar cheese, olive oil, milk and flat-leaf parsley in a separate bowl. Mix until combined. Pour the ham and cheese mixture into the flour and fold lightly until just combined.
4. Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 12-hole mini muffin pan. Press a cherry tomato half into the top of each muffin. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.



They look pretty good hey?
 
So tell me what are you cooking this week anything yum like Rhi?

Did you play any jokes on anyone today?


Polly Dolly

little blck dress

Polly Dolly what a good way to spend an afternoon. I have just put about $5000 on my imaginary credit card. It's days like this I am torn about having a credit card. Thank heavens I don't my goodness I would have bought so much unnecessary stuff by now. But bugger it I would like to go buy a whole bunch of crazy stuff. Its called retail therapy for a reason is it not?

 This week is week no.52 of polly dolly, that's right a whole year we have been playing with clothes and imaginary credit cards. Who thought when Dani started this game where it would take her, now she's basically a celebrity. An awesome one at that.

So the little black dress in honour of one whole year of dressing our dollies. I had seven black dresses at one stage, that's a hard decision to make when you have no price tags or size tags. I narrowed it down to this one. I would never even think of picking this dress up I think that's why I love it so. Its nothing I would usually wear. I love the nude shoes and I have it on good authority from Melissa at Suger Coat It that nudes are very in this season. Thanks hun.
That clutch bag was triple the price of the dress I love it, can you imagine getting in a fight with that bag? You would do some serious damage! Smoking hot eyes and lips and some kick ass bangles. Those earrings scare me, fierce is the only word I have to describe them!.
If you love the idea of playing with an imaginary credit card and haven't played yet, your missing out head over to see Danielle and play along!
