Usually the light in the kitchen through the skylight lights up Brenna's name across the top of the tall cabinets... even though at the moment the skylight is covered to keep the heat out, still this picture is the light shining on her name where it found a gap between the cover...
and this morning for breakfast... a silly idea, really, in hindsight because the children had their Christmas stockings of course in the morning so they were really NOT that hungry when I made breakfast... at least Father Christmas here puts some 'good' food (tiny multi pack cereals which they love) in their stocking *wink* so they get a reasonable start to the day on Christmas morning...
So I made pancakes with apple - I saw on a blog somewhere just the slices of apple, and then I followed my shaped fruit theme and did some apple stars, some banana circles etc you could do anything you like with them really... they do tend to want to try and stick a little more, the fruit down side so just keep an eye on them and the fine film of olive oil in the pan.
and 'OTT chocolate fudge brownies' - it's a microwaveable recipe from Tupperware (thanks A!) but I did mine in the oven and the second time round, with the oven slightly lower and taking them out earlier than the recipe suggested for oven, they worked quite well. Fresh cherries and cream. Treat. Also a substitute-cross since I intended to use our fresh chook eggs and make pavlova... but in the end this was a one-less-thing-to-make and a lot less eggs - because the pavlova uses the white I would have then made a quiche with the yolks so two things to bake and the pavlova was a 1.5hr cook time... maybe that can be dessert later in the week... don't have to have everything on the one day, right?
Best wishes for the year ahead, staying safe and making memories.
