brunch-eon!!

[your blog is here kirstie no need to panic :P]

We had this really cute brunch today with my mum’s high school friends and their daughters it was interesting to see my mother with her friends especially after finding old black and white photos of her and her friends in high school….its odd imagining your mothering being silly imbition-less just laughing with friends like I used to do…
photos of my mother:





[in the right-hand side corner is my mum in black and white]

The brunch was great though it was an all ladies brunch and the food was ultra yum…
I made blueberry muffins and peanut butter kisses but due to time contraints, I can't really claim the fame for either of them I had a little help from Betty crocker….
I am totally in love with this variation on the peanut butter cookie recipe… I'm pretty sure you can use any standard plain peanut butter cookie recipe…all you do is is roll the batter into an 1inch ball roll in sugar and put bake them till they're pretty much done (still a little soft inside) and immediately push a Hershey kiss on top on the cookie…then move it to a wire rack to cool…..they're pretty much best to eat immediately as although the kiss holds it shape its completely melted from the inside so the second you put it in your mouth it the chocolate collapses in a medley of peanut butter cookie covered in melted chocolate… tres awesomeness...

oh also my baby got back from the fix-ers he's all better now...i promise not to drop u again

Microphone Abuser

Hello humans
So after recently trolling to some seriously awesome blog sites I have made my peace with the fact that in comparative mine will not be as cool or artsy or interesting. As cute, quirky, interesting, haught couture are not words used to describe my dress sense, I don’t have empecable taste for things in life I don’t even have amazing stories to tell about my action packed days….

Im just someone who has moved to dubai and is in the process of trying to sink my teeth into this place and readjusting and trying to get bearings in this new life…not as easy as I thought it was going to be…

Dubai is an awesome place whether or not it’s a place a person can truly settle down and live for a long duration of time is up for debate but its certainly is interesting…its very different to Sydney where…I don’t know what it was about that place. A place, I felt where inspiration was oozing out of every pore and was around every corner here its a lot harder to find such inspiration its highly commercialised and mainstream it lacks personality, and character and for a place that has such potential to be rich in heritage and culture it seriously lacks and what culture they do portray just seems fake and staged used more as a tourist gimmick than actually being intouch with their history and heritage….which is sad….

In saying that it does its job …to unaware onlookers it all really does look fascinating intriguing and its definitely a place you want to experience…and there are definitely some awesome places you want to check out.. Over the last two months I’ve been keeping a mental note of places to take kirstie to when she comes to visit me I thought I’d document them down pictures and all in my next blog because there are still a few places I want to go to and try out to determine whether they go on the list or not…

That’s all from me today

First blog...

So..my first blog...seems kinda exciting and scary at the same time...im not sure how many people can see this...and if it really is accessible to everyone and anyone in the whole world i feel mildly obligated to write something of actual substance here...


But knowing me and my life at the moment, i wont...


Im just going to use this as a platform to rant/post up anything interesting and upload me photos...so essentially now that I've moved to new country my minions in sydney can keep tabs on me and what i get up to..... :)
