So… the thing about writing a blog that revolves around my own baking adventures is that if I don’t bake new things… I have nothing to write about. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been baking. Just nothing new. I’ve been addicted to granola and chickpea cookie dough for the past two weeks. I promise this weekend I’ll bake something great. I mean there is a woman at work going on Maternity leave… and that occasion just screams for baked goods, no?
In other, non-baking news, I took a wee trip up the coast with some friends for a little rest and relaxation. We sipped wine, we sat by pools, we kayaked and we even applied sunscreen. Jealous?
Conan... BANG!
These are the friends...
We took a wee drive to the Hunter Valley for some delightful wine tasting…
this is some wine
There was sparkling reds and sparkling whites…
This is the how classy we are
There was a woman who sat with us and explained each wine as she poured me generous tastings. She took a liking to Sean. She touched him one too many times on jaw, attempting to explain taste sensations on your palate. Had it not been for the nineteen glasses of wine she poured me, I would have clocked her. Definitely.
This is when I used Shane as a fake model for my real Cowboy picture...
REPRESENT! Brup Brup (gunshots) (cause we were in Scarborough) (duh)
Beer tastings...
Sadly, I don’t really have any pictures that don’t involve drinking wine. But trust me… there was fun in the sun, bikinis, rope swings, kayaks… and a Magpie that attempted to peck out my eyes. twice. Scariest birds ever.
Here’s to many more weekends like this one. Minus the Magpie.

...but can she bake 
I am at work and not doing work right now. I’m sitting here reading this and it’s your fault.
yes. yes it is.
