a belated merry christmas to all!

I have recently taken to water colours and have been attempting to use them without creating anything too hideous!
This was a Christmas card I sent a friend in Japan...along with a home-made panforte using my nanna's recipe (it really is delicious, if I may say so myself. Hoho!)

Panforte's are great for presents because a) they are not cheap to make, thus you are not being cheap b) they last for months and can be stored in the pantry c) you can make a really large one then divide it up, like what I have done here d) they are very christmasy and e) they taste great! Although I do have a friend who belives they do indeed taste like old man...

a merry christmas and a happy new year. xx

Our year book!

ah-ha! this is my design for our high schools year book (front and back covers together)

now, the man stilling on the hill...rock? is meant to be my principal...but it didn't really work out...

oh well.

Birthday Happy

It was my father's birthday a few weeks ago... for his dinner, I cooked beef cheek ravioli (hence the card) and made a triple chocolate tart. yumyum



The chocolate tart had a double layer of ganache, a think layer of milk chocolate and a thin top layer of dark. The hazelnuts were actually meant to be a praline...but that did not turn out so well, still, they look quite nice (I think). The pastry was quite thin, which I am not big on personally, I like thick! But oh well, next time eh?

if you want the recipe just ask, but I got it from the Gourmet Traveller magazines, ah! They're fantastic

Glyn?

Just some little pictures I drew (some time ago)... hope you like them!

after the completion this picture, I had the strangest feeling that I knew the man I drew...
as it turns out, I believe it has an uncanny resemblance of a boy whom I went to primary school with.

weird.
