Happy St. Patrick's Day!


The sign says it all!



My hat..... cos I was the only one who didn't wear anything green! I totally forgot!
Aaaaahhh... Hot irish coffee on a windy night!

Thank you Pat and Irene for the wonderful get-together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The food was gastronomically delish! Had a lovely time eating and laughing! The Irish folk music and singing was absolutely brilliant! Till next year.......
May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

Don't Be Fooled.....

This was taken last Saturday... I chuckle when I see this picture because firstly, the size of that tiny bowl sort of makes Bryan look like a small boy. Secondly, what you don't know is that he had 3 mountains-full of servings of that Mee Goreng. Going out for meals without packing something familiar for him to eat from home, is always a gamble. We have had meals where he just wouldn't eat anything at the restaurant and by the time we have had our fill, he'd be starving and we'd have to rush home to fix him a sandwich. I'm so glad his food repertoire has increased many fold. He's so much better with coping with different smell combinations now that he's older... but he still wouldn't touch a grain of rice with a barge pole!

I Don't Have To Look Too Far Now...

You know, I didn't know I could get these from the local supermarkets. It's still AUD2.00 each (I think)when they're not on special. But once in a while, we indulge, don't we? With a tray like that, we all get to have our own favourites... unfortunately there's only 2 of each and we all love the cafe and the chocolat.... and vanille and citron......
