I love the simplicity of this; the bread, jam, butter and the timber that complements it. Not to mention the cawfee! I don’t drink coffee much and it annoys me that I can extend control and not get addicted to it, like I do with other vices: sugar, bad fats, etc.

My sister has decided that I have an obsession with Betty Boop (which I don’t) so has henceforth FORCED a Betty Boop collection onto me. Every Christmas/Birthday she gives me Betty Boop stuff. I have never ever ever ever in my life said “I love Betty Boop, I should get more of her stuff…” but it seem’s that my sister thinks I can’t live without her. Please enjoy Talia, Lola and I modeling my birthday gift….SYNTHETIC BETTY BOOP UGH BOOTS WITH PINK AND FUR TRIM.

P.S. I returned them without my sister knowing and bought a sports bra instead.

I heart this kitchen so much! I can’t wait to have a house of my own to decorate. When I was a kid growing up in the hills we had a very creative house. My dad was an artist and really used our house to express himself. My favourite parts about our house were the knife and fork door handles and the old aluminium bin lid used as a lamp shade in the kitchen.

I miss that house.

Truffles! Oh yes, that’s what I’m making this evening. Do I ever make savoury dishes? Why yes, I certainly do but I find desserts and sweets much more fun, and generally easier. I’m TERRIFIED of undercooking chicken and overcooking salmon! Anyway, the truffles aren’t the sort you’d buy from Koko Black or Haighs, they’re simple - more CWA style.

OLD MATE TRUFF TRUFFS

Ingredients
2 cups of crushed Marie Biscuits (approx 1 packet)
1 can of condensed milk
2 tablespoons of cocoa
1 cup of coconut (+ extra for rolling ‘em)

Pop the entire packet of biscuits in a food processor or blender until they’re a crumb-like consistency & this should make two cups - this is the most tedious part! Once that’s ready to go combine all the ingredients in whatever order you wish. Wet your hands* and then roll into balls dip into a bowl of coconut and pop them in a container. Refrigerate or freeze, depending how much of a rush you’re in.

*Wet hands are important! They stop the mixture sticking to them.

They sound so boring but you will get addicted, they are deceptively more-ish, best to consume with others to avoid sole mass consumption.

Brenna is completely brilliant and if you’re not facebook friends with her, I think you should have the privilege of reading her insanely hilarious status updates. Above are some of her hits of 2009.

Enjoy!
