Chocolate Chip Pick-Me-Up

Chocolate chip pick-me-up in the form of a cookie is what you need midweek. Seriously, the sugary moist nibbly cookie can ease any stressful situation or momentary panic. The recipe has been a guarded secret passed between good friends which evolved from a Chelsea's Cookbook recipe. One slight change to the recipe made it better and morish. I've yet to acquire a copy of this book and it's definitely on the christmas list. Hopefully I can find it in a secondbook shop or charity shop sometime soon...nom...!

Little and Friday

Food. Good food, isn't hard to find when you are surrounded by foodies. One of the picks was Little and Friday Cafe and I glad to have skipped breakfast (woke up too late again) and feasted on lunch. A bunch of us all squished into one car and went on a food adventure.

The little cafe is situated within Martha's fabric shop in New Market, which is not hard to find but parking can be a bit of a hassle due its popularity. As we waited for our delicious choices to grace our table, I want around and had a look at the fabrics. Each as intricate and detailed in design as the baking on display. I wasn't sure why I picked the chocolate hazelnut muffin, but it looked gorgeous and I was already feasting with my eyes.
 

 
Many of the delicious morsels can be found in the Little and Friday recipe book.  I gave the banana muffin recipe a go and it was divine! (I even attempted making the caramel and cream cheese icing... sadly they weren't as easy as I thought.) Now I know what I want for my birthday... *wink*

Sunday

Weekend was here and soon it will be gone. It's already Sunday night. O how time flies. Another pretty wet (as in rainy) weekend in the bag, apart from a couple of odd phone calls and a couldn't-be-any-shorter visit from a friend, nothing else really happened. BUT I've been so busy working on the garden lately that I hardly noticed my anti-social behaviour. (Will try to post it up once it's finished) Anyways, enough ramble. Here are some instagram shots of my Sunday...

Found these in the bottom of the draw, so decided to light them.

Smoke everywhere...should have lit them one at a time...

Cinnamon Swirls, I helped make the filling :)

Been working all weekend on the garden, getting ready for spring ye-yeah!
