Jared's 3rd Birthday Cakes...



Tim and I made a red Lightning McQueen (from the Cars movie) cake for Jared's party - butter cake with very red fondant icing and vanilla buttercream.


The cupcake stand made another appearance...Mum made lots of yellow (Jared's favourite colour) cupcakes with the letter 'J' and 'Jared' on them. I did some with little racing cars made using M&Ms...

Valentine's Day Dinner...




After not going out for dinner last year (the first time ever - but we did celebrate at home with nice take-away pasta) we decided to go to The Hermitage in Leumeah again this year (we also went there on Valentine's Day in 2005)...


For entree I had baked mushrooms stuffed with gruyere cheese and something else I've now forgotten while Tim had scallops. I have a total blank for the mains!!!


For dessert Tim had a favourite: the nougat terrine encrusted with toffee and hazelnuts and I had (and was very pleased with) a mango mille feuille with marscapone and a tart lime sorbet heart... Excellent as always and still one of my favourite two local restaurants...the other fav. is Relish in Camden...
