Today was a funny day. A good day. It was sunny and glorious. The fella was off work for the day and took Tate fishing, which is a brilliant situation for everyone. It has become a tradition for Zoe and I to bake or beach or both whilst the boys are off in the boat. Today she was determined to bake. I looked in the fridge. Tiny bit of milk, tiny bit of butter, one egg. Oh dear. SOooo, I created a recipe! I’m quite the slap dash cook when it comes to everything else… but baking I always use a recipe. Here’s what we came up with

Limey Coconut Cakie slice

1 heaped cup SR Flour

1 cup Sugar (I would reduce this)

1 cup coconut

1 egg

1/2 can coconut milk

the zest of 1 lime

2 big Tbsp butter (melted)

Mix it all up (with a mini whisk if you are 2) and pour into a greased small slice pan

Bake at 170 for 25 min.

While still hot in the pan make a syrup with the juice of your 1 lime and 1/4 cup water. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over your cake. EAT!

Creatively my outlets today included cutting Z’s fringe and a spot of  face painting. Neither of which were a roaring success.

I picked up this pink teapot during our travels. Port Macquarie I think? I made the little rainbow scarf on the road too. I’m not quite sure who its for.  We really don’t need scarves up here.

Just looking at it brightens my day.

Oh, and more Birdie Brooches are in the works. I got my little parcel from The Haby Goddess today, and the brooch backs are perfect. Highly recommend!

Happy Weekend!!
