Early Sunday morning, still dark, had a great night last night where we invited our neighbours up from down the road and fortunately I was in the mood for cooking. I ended up cooking 3 entrees, but here is the menu, just to get your tastebuds watering. 3 entrees consisting of trio of dips, butter bean and sundried tomato; guacamole and tomato bruschetta, plus fresh prawns on ice, plus deep friend crumbed camemberet cheese drizzled with cranberry sauce. Oh so yummy. This was then followed by Mahi Mahi fish with potato wedges and salad with a dessert of Chocolate mud cake with Chantilly Cream. It was an amazing meal and we were all completely stuffed. I just love cooking and I thoroughly enjoyed myself making all that, many hours of standing up in the kitchen was well worth it.

When I went to the markets yesterday I bought heaps of plants and we created a new little garden out the front of the house along the path. We went to this hotel last weekend out at Woody Point, called The Belvedere Hotel and we got this great food and really fantastic service, but they had some really beautiful gardens, beautifully landscaped, lots of chunky timber and I just loved the way the gardens and the plants spilled just over the paths and created this effect that I want in my garden. I have decided that the garden is my new project and I am going to do sculptures and all sorts of fun things throughout. I was inspired by this garden in Africa that I saw just recently on the ABC.
