Wardens @ Beechworth

Went out for a lovely dinner at Wardens in Beechworth. They recently were awarded a hat in The Age Good Food Guide 2010.
I enjoyed:

• ANTIPASTI:
  Ham hock terrine
• PRIMI:
  Mustard crusted quail, grilled cotechino, lentils, spiced white bean puree and candied pears
• PASTA:
  Raviolo of pecorino romano, cinnamon and orange lamb bolognese, baby parsley
• DESSERT:
  Pistachio and olive oil torte, rosewater ice-cream, rhubarb agrodolce and candied ginger

I think the dessert was the highlight for me :)
Do visit their website for a drool here.

Random Inspiring Quote

"If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue.
Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.
Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time.
It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up".

~ Deepak Chopra

Incredible India

This peacock artwork is by prasadesign for his "Incredible India" advertising campaign.
I was absolutely struck by it's beautiful detail (and I love peacocks, they are so colourful!)

And check out the Tiger! Stunning. I would love both of these posters on my wall!

Licorice Allsorts

Bright and colourful Licorice Allsorts were my inspiration yesterday :)

Love the colourful stripes!

I made them into a Licorice Allsort Slice for my Dada for Father's Day :) Yumm.

there's a Spring in my step...

It's finally Spring-time!
Not the first of September, or the second, but spring was definitely in the air on the third.
The weather turned humid and the air was warm.
The daisies were sprouting in the grass, and the sunshine felt so good on my skin!


Here are some lovely pictures found via Moments of Pleasure of the gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show.
They reminded me of that fuzzy first feeling of Spring-time!

Are you all warm and fuzzy now?

In Disguise: Raccoon Costume

This print is adorable and cheeky!

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer sends a raccoon into Lisa's ballet studio to fetch packets of cigarettes and it grabs a wad of cash instead.
Homer disguises the raccoon with a black mask just like this one! Hehe!

Lime Green & Leopard Print

I won these cutie-pies on eBay last night.
They are so delicious I just want to eat them all up!
Can't wait for them to arrive!

Marie + Macarons = Perfect Parisian Pastels!

Marie Antoinette is possibly my most favourite movie ever.

I fell in love with the colour palette: perfect pastels.

In fact, this movie is pretty much chockers full of eye candy.

Gorgeous costumery and the SWEETS! Champagne and sugar tie this thing all together!

But the macarons. mmmMMMMMMmm! They are my absolute favourite part of it all.

I first stumbled across these delicious bites at ParisBreakfasts. She blogs regularly and faithfully (and slightly obsessedly) about the little delightful darlings.

She paints them, too. Check our her Etsy shop for other lovely watercolours.

Fancy sharing a pot of hot chocolate and some instant delights with me?
According to ParisBreakfasts, as a host, I must offer you the first macaron before choosing mine.
So do take one (but I want the chocolate one hehe!)
