kind of magic...

A bit more of what's on my kitchen bench.
Sometimes it's the most simple of elements,
 but if the light is right it's kind of magic.

I don't know about you,
 but I need something to focus on,
 something beautiful to cheer me up.

Stuffed Zucchini Rolls...

Zucchini filled with Mushroom, Tomato, Beef
 and Mashed Sweet Potato with Parmesan cheese.

Sliced Yellow Zucchini, from the garden.

Sliced Mushrooms.

Slices of Beef.

Grill the Zucchini in the Sandwich Press.

Cook the mushrooms add a chopped Tomato,
 and a mashed sweet potato( to bind it together).

Happy Monday...

It's such a hot and lazy day, breakfast has turned into lunch.

Slices of left over rare beef.

In the pan with olive bread, an egg and herbs from the garden.

Looking For Love...

Love Kalamata Olives.

Looking For Love...

I'm starting a new theme on my blog called 'Looking For Love'...
It's not necessarily a 365 type challenge, but I want to look for some sort of heart image almost everyday.
We'll see how I go.

Today's title is....
 'WHEN DOES LOVE START, WHEN DOES LOVE STOP'.

My answer is I don't know.
 However I did get a bit brave and think I was ready to put all the 'John Stuff' away.
Turn's out It wasn't time and I'm looking at the photo and wearing the rings,
 as a little reminder of being so well loved.

We take all our memories with us on the journey,
they remind us of who we were and who we are now.

Pancake Tuesday...

Yes I had Pancakes for dinner, not too much bother really and so delicious.

Savoury Crepes with Mushroom Tomato, Eggplant and Capsicum filling.

And  Cheesy Bechamel Sauce with Herbs from the garden.

Light and just delicious.

How it all started.

Finding Love...

Yesterday I found this at the bottom of my coffee mug,

Isn't that amazing...the coffee grounds settled into this beautiful heart.
Just a reminder that we are surrounded by love
or given little reminders  of it.

blue flower....

From the nursery I visited yesterday.
Reminds me of Mum, who had a bush of these when we were growing up.

Lunch At The 'Corner Post'...

A Walk In The Hills...

A dirt road in Olinda.

Piriander Gardens...

This afternoon I went for a bit of a drive in the 'Hills', and stopped off to take some pics at the Piriander Gardens.
It had a lovely end of Summer beginning of Autumn feel.

The tree plantings are beautiful, and the garden has many rare or unusual specimens....
The only thing is it's all fairly steep and what goes down,
 must come up huffing and puffing...or is that just me.
