biscuit happy

Happy weekend to you all...good luck on settling into the new year & your effort on completing all your new years resolutions....

One of mine was the cut back on the 'bad foods' guess what, I have failed already! check out my own recipe for these beauties...how could i resist.

my easy recipe below

 1 & a half cups of plain flour

about 200 grams of salt reduced butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste

mix & pinch with your finger tips until smooth. if its too dry add more butter, if its too wet add flour.

bake in the oven on 200 degrees/fan forced for 10-15 minutes 

(depending on how cooked you like your biscuits).

once cooled, melt some dark chocolate (about 2 rows) and add milk until the chocolate is thin enough to decorate the biscuits using a knife, or spoon...whatever you prefer (about 2 tablespoons).

enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea & some kind company.

i hope your enjoying 2012 just as much as i am, 

if not...these biscuits will help.

the end...

....of your working day is always great, isnt it.....

to get home & relax, i hit 'relax' as soon as i walk in the door, there is just something about being 'home'. Orlando greets me, doesnt stop meowing until i open the door from when he hears my car pull up actually.

hopefully, fingers and toes and ears and eyes crossed that i'll be pulling up on a cruiser bike before not too long. Orlando will have to test his ears big time to hear me then ey.



if i don't get one for my Birthday, i'll make it's a present from myself.....

and maybe a few of these....



...but even more of these.



Have a great rest of your day xxx

Cat Nip

well, I haven't introduced you to this little fella, although if you are my Facebook friend you would be quite familiar with Orlando & how special he is. enjoy the photos.

i picked him up from a lady in Busselton when he was 5 months old. we traded him in the car park near the Pet Shop....sounds a bit suss.....well it wasn't. simply just trading a Ragdoll for cash...oh, and some cat biscuits.

they are bestest of friends

after spending time at the Pet Shop buying Orlando new toys, food bowels & more it was time to head home. mum was with me at the time so she had the best part...looking after him while we traveled home.

playtime

i got him home & was glad I had a weeks holiday to make him feel at home and find out all the little things about him. he loved sleeping on my neck, near my heart ... all curled up to me at night until the mornings.

handsome boy

these days he is more grown up (obviously)......he tackles Oliver my Corgi, they play and chase each other around the house. i could watch it all day...its quite fascinating.

oh, did I mention he loves to play.

he is a lot of fun, makes me laugh a lot & calms me down by the touch of a pat.....they reckon people who own a cat are less stressed than those who don't. not sure if i totally agree.

they love spending time together

a few interesting facts about cats:

1. cats cannot taste things that are sweet

2. Isaac Newton invented the cat door

3. the cats tail is used to maintain balance

4. cats have the largest eyes of any mammal

5. on average, a cat will sleep for 16hours a day

6. an adult cat has 30 teeth, 16 on the top and 14 on the bottom.

hard-to-find

good friends are hard to find...when you think you have found a good one, snatch them with gentle, open arms, make sure you keep them. stay true, genuine, honest & keep them safe when your with them.

you have 'friends' then you have 'good friends'.....such a huge difference between the 2 you know. you probably have many 'friends' & only a few 'good friends', that's actually OK cause those 'good friends' are the ones who have most time for you and you have the most time for them (you can't make huge amounts of time for all your 'friends' anyway, that would be impossible unless your god of course)...you don't get sick of having 'good friends' around & they are the sort that make you feel relaxed even in your own home, you know...when they help themselves to your fridge & stuff.

i have 1 very special 'good friend' & he lives where I live, he eats what I eat, watches what I watch and usually thinks similar things....he'll be a friend for life, whether we like it or not....its just one of those things that are hard-to-find.

keep em while you got em & spoil them while you can.

managed to beat something together...

Finally, its been a while since I rambled on about stuff.....here goes & I hope you like it.

Music, tunes, beats, 'doof doof' - however or whatever you call it......everyone needs it. There is just something about it. We all have our favourite songs and much hated ones too.

I like lots of types...my favourite at this moment is 'Take Care' by Rihanna....gosh she is amazing...no matter what anyone thinks. 

All of her songs are super great. She may be my favourite, who knows! ... but quite possibly. Plus she is hot hot hot....check out these photographs.....I'm sure you will agree, k!

There will be more to come....so, stay tuned & also....download/buy this song if haven't already & if you have any great songs I am in need on downloading, post em to me. xxx
