Glass Safari

Mother's Day was pretty quiet here – but I was long overdue a rest day. Hubby made me brekkie in bed (tea and toast), and I was able to read in bed *all morning*. He also cooked dinner (risotto) and Son made a Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding for dessert (nom nom nom!).

I have very cool kids.

Son gave me this necklace. Yes, he made it, including all the beads! Very special ...

And Dotter knows me so well - this is the Food Safari cookbook, which has a fantastic selection of recipes from 34 countries. I can't wait to give them a whirl! I've eaten the Jewish Orange & Almond Cake (courtesy of Bells) and it was utterly divine ...

Young Bobby Ram has been moping around the house - only change he's made so far is to experiment with a nose ring. Young Flopsy Mopsy Lamby has been bugging him, as only a little child can ... she may present enough of an annoyance to get him to go out and socialise.

    Sounds like an excellent Mothers' Day all round, and you have great kids and great hubby:)

    Graham has offered to find an appropriate mate for Young Bobby Ram but personally I think he wants to see him in the pot!! We hope he finds a suitable Aussie sheila :)

    Bobby looks good with a nose ring. Sort of edgy.

    Sounds like a nice peaceful Mother's Day.

    Ahahaha, that nose ring! And I love the necklace your son made. Very talented! The cookbook looks divine, and breakfast in bed and reading sounds like a very pampered Mother's Day.

    Glad you enjoyed!

    if Ms Flopsy Mopsy is a little too RAMbunctious she can come down here to visit her twin sister that lives in my kitchen ... Ms Ewedora

    A completely random question - do you have any idea why you have the same Mothers day as us, but not the same date as 'Mothering Sunday' of the UK?

    It sounded like a great mothers day, I like the chocolate pudding, and the necklace is a work of love. 'Food Safari' - what is the first planned and plotted recipe?

    Oh, I just love the necklace!!! Hope all is well and am trying to get to a stitch n bitch real soon. Just had our second boy and ran into Georgie at the Kingston markets wool special :) Very tired which is why I don't get on here that often but love to catch up now and then.
