After helping my mother move Dad’s excessive DVD collection to the new house, we met my sister and went for a relaxing, child-free(!), coffee at the newish cafe at Speers Point Park, Sal’s by the Lake.
Mum and Jen each got the coffee and cake for $7.
They look like Sara Lee cakes to me!
Tall foam! (I went back this weekend for takeaway coffee, but they’re run out of soy milk. At midday. *sadface*)
I was mid juice cleanse so I sipped my lemongrass and ginger tea, before scouting out the new playground. It looks awesome!

Sometimes I feel like I live in a little country town. One where the guy at the charcoal chicken knows I want a quarter wing and a small greek salad, the guy at the coffee shop knows it’s a large soy latte, no sugars, and the girls at the beautician know how to do my waxing.
So, of course, I was also excited to find out how the renovated Penshurst Deli would turn out, with the middle way, and cake display.
We got there too late on a Friday afternoon to order any meals off the menu, but Rish went a very creamy New York Cheesecake. Presented on a surfboard.
And I stuck with a coffee.
Yummy all around, the cake defeated Rish though.
The have ALL THE SUGARS.

Back to Beyond Q, Curtin. And their purrty cups. “They’re” threatening to knock that block of shops down *sadface* For the future, or something…
This gluten free orange and almond cake was delish. And because Hannah doesn’t “do” citrus cakes, I didn’t even have to share ;)

Since I so won’t get to write up a post about the Nuffnang Canberra blogger meetup we organised for aages, you should go read Hannah’s post on it.
And comment on how cool this pic is:
Was great to meet everyone!! :)

My Mum’s the Queen!
With a detour via Sydney on the way to check out some job leads, and arriving back close to midnight last night, the weekend was a rather long long weekend.
I wanted to get the Miley cake…
It was loved anyways ;)

I put my icy fingers on his neck and then he kept making me keep doing it!!
A dinner at Grind on Darby Street
My made up breakfast at Hippo at Warners Bay.
The coffee I didn’t spill all over myself. Liam (the toddler) spilled two. I only spilled one. Grace does not come with age in my family!
Mum had a avocado salsa dish with a poached egg.
Looking forward to being closer, getting there at bit more!

There’s something about St Kilda, and making yourself ill on creamy cakes.

For a friend’s birthday last weekend, we had a bit of a rolling afternoon/evening. Started with lunch at Delissio’s in Braddon.
I ordered gnocchi and Rish went for a vegetarian roast vegetable pizza. I wasn’t overly fussed on the gnocchi (it was okay) but OMG the taste in the pizza. I happily stole a couple of slices of that! ;) I think it was the tangy goat’s cheese that did it for me :)
Being a birthday lunch, I just had to have coffee and cake – flourless orange cake often grabs me!
And I just loved the little cup my latte came in – mug-like, but still latte-esque, with the lack of handles. Good thing too, as it was after 3pm by then, and was starting to get a bit chilly out!
(and here are my home made pizzas from last night… before being ovened… there was kinda too much cheese on the bocconcini one :p Even did the dough myself – in the bread maker, of course!) [click to continue…]
