Saturday

Today I went to one of my favourite places in Melbourne, the Abbotsford Convent. Every 4th Saturday they have a 'slow food' market, where vendors bring their home cooked jams, relishes, home grown vegies and even farm raised beef and other meats. Today their were lots of orange based products as it's peak season. I didnt have the camera with me, but I bought 1 piece of yummy shortbread and some Dutch carrots and David bought some dips and ate a Lebanese pizza as we walked around. I love it there. Now the sun is out and my time on the computer is up as housework awaits. This pic is taken at another market the Convent has once a month on a Sunday arvo called the Makers Market. I'm very lucky to live so close.

Biscuits

My Nan, Monica, had a good friend called Ruby. I used to like to go visit Ruby. Unfortunately they have both passed on now, but on the last time I saw Ruby at her own place before she went into a home, she gave me this cook book as she knew I loved to cook. I thought I would bake my way through it a la "Julia and Julia' style, unless there was a recipe with something that I really didnt like in it!
Today it's Vanilla cookies. Next post, Ill let you know how they went and what the family thought of them.
