A couple of weekends ago, a friend and I went to check out a new cafe that had popped up close to where we used to live. Sidewalk is cute and super cheap! Only downside for me was that the food came out on paper trays. But the coffee was good and there are lots of great cookbooks just lying around for browsing. Will definitely be going back!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271629559056950813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106193691001968728.post-9212273744756802862012-10-10T01:08:00.000-07:002012-10-10T01:08:41.522-07:00Looking toward the sunshine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Things have been a bit full on the last couple of weeks. My sister has spent a long stint in hospital, my flatmate did a runner without paying rent and some other more personal stuff has just been a bit too much. I fell apart briefly today, started to cry and there was a knock on the door. I attempted to pull myself together and answered the door to find this poor sales guy who launched into a pitch despite my red blotchy teary appearance. I quickly got rid of him (he was selling a power company that we are already with) but afterwards I had to laugh. The poor guy had probably never had a crying girl open the door before. And I'm taking a really deep breath and trying to remember its only going to get better. Looking toward the sunshine :)</div>

Lunch was had in the grassy dunes on the beach sheltered from the wind. I was so relaxed I even managed a snooze in the sun afterwards. Uni was the last thing on my mind and it really felt like I had escaped the city without going too far. I felt so lucky to be living in such a beautiful country!</div>

I was quite stoked to come across this free e-book today. I'm such a foodie and great food with less ingredients appeals to my budget. You can download it yourself <a href="http://minimalistbaker.com/7-ingredients-or-less-e-cookbook/" target="_blank">here</a>, just remember to share the love.</div>

I have my degree by my desk to motivate me during this year of post-graduate study. I really should get it framed at some point. That vase and elephant are probably my two favourite belongings. The elephant I obtained from my ex boyfriend (note the word obtained as he didn't exactly give it to me...) and the vase I bought at a craft market last year.</div>

My flatmate and I are addicted to Mad Men at the moment. We watched the first season last week and when she got back from a weekend away on Sunday afternoon there was only one thing we wanted to do. So we went and got the second season from the dvd store along with a bottle of red wine and some ridiculously priced applewood smoked cheddar cheese. As far as Sunday afternoons go, it was pretty hard to beat.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Yesterday I had an exciting Saturday working on my current assignment and by 4pm I was craving fresh air. Unfortunately it had just started to rain. I decided to brave it anyway, grabbed a rain jacket and headed out the door. And boy, I was so glad I did! The park was pretty empty except for a few determined runners and some children who didn't seem to care either way. So I relished the solitude and enjoyed how pretty the park is looking now that spring has arrived. And there were lambs!!! So flipping cute! By the end of my hour loop around the park I had wet feet and a big smile on my face. Invigorated, I went home thinking about how lucky I am. It really is the simple things that make the most difference.</span>

I won free tickets to go ice skating in Aotea Square.

I discovered <a href="http://delacasa.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/citrus-blueberry-friands/" target="_blank">Christina's</a> lovely little piece of the internet a little while back when I was stuck at home with a horrible cold. I spent a fair amount of time trawling through all her past posts and getting incredibly inspired. And maybe a little hungry!<br />
These <a href="http://delacasa.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/citrus-blueberry-friands/" target="_blank">citrus and berry friands</a> were delicious with a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon. I can't wait to try some of the other recipes she has posted soon!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271629559056950813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106193691001968728.post-88550552769371607312012-08-11T20:09:00.004-07:002012-08-11T20:09:56.685-07:00Cider and epic sandwiches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
