Mixer update

Hi there, just thought I'd let you know after talking about a mixer a few posts back, that we got a new Sunbeam Cafe Series mixer for Christmas from my Mother In-law and Father In-law and it is beautiful. I really feel that it deserves a name but I am yet to name any of my inanimate objects.... never really caught on when I was younger and all my friends were naming their first cars and such. Oh well, maybe, one day.


But we are loving the yummy goodness that is exploding out of that magic machine everyday!

Back to that Fudge from that same post, that got me hungering for a good ol' fashioned goo-fest prompted me to create a little home-made fudgey goodness of my own. Now I didn't end up using this recipe as with the milk allergies that the boys have I didn't feel like making my own Sweetened Condensed Milk (oh it can be done people, dairy-free sweetened condensed milk, it just takes time and I wanted that fudge melting in my mouth not a moment longer than needed).

Dairy-Free Chocolate Fudge

You will never now the difference, guaranteed!

A camera bag for a few dollars

So I got a new camera for my birthday a few months back and have been carrying it around in an old makeup box with some bits still wrapped in the bubble wrap that it came in. Tisk Tisk. It's awful and as such I don't always remember to take it out with me, that is something that I need to change.

Now I am a sensible spender, some may say frugal but the point is I don't want to spend alot for something that could be got for a little.

Which has led me to the point that I need to make a camera bag. I have been toying with this idea for a while but just can't find the right bag that I like. So instead I have changed my sights to a camera bag insert that I can transfer from bag to bag and take my camera out in whichever handbag grabs me for the day.

Here are just 2 of the great tute's from blogger's I have come across. So one day, when it's not a public holiday or 3 in a row for that matter, I will make my way to town and get a few supplies to 'whip' one up. Oh man I hope it is that easy to just whip it up, they sure do make it look easy in the beautifully constructed instructions.............

How does your camera travel?

Present dreaming

Ok so with the thought of moving into a caravan, kitchen appliances were definetly not on my list of 'things that are gonna fit' but Michael has made the very vallid point that it would be used almost every day, well every day that we have power, since home-made is definetly something our family can't live without.

That said, I am currently searching for a Kitchen Aide or the like.

 

So tell me which one do you have? or what one do you think is best?! They all look pretty similar to me!

Then of course there's a thought I just can't get rid of and that is this...



Definetly 'drool-worthy'. Check em out!
