Around here - Christmas Season

It has been raining in Brisbane the last few days and would you believe it Term 4 of Tennis was 11 weeks on a Tuesday night and 5 Tuesdays of the 11 it rained.  Term 3 was 10 weeks however I only enrolled on the second week and it only rained on the last night.  The grass is growing so fast due to summer heat and the rain a couple days after it's done it looks like it hasn't even been mowed.

Last week I went to QBE and bought a beautiful cookbook of a person who I follow on IG.  She is Turkish and lives in the USA and started a IG account and posted her cooking videos and has grown a huge following to over 10 Million people which has lead to her first cookbook.  I can say the quality, style, photography, textured linen feel cover is absolutely beautiful. She also has a Youtube Channel.


The tips, the layout and instructions and all the recipes are beautiful.  I love hearing about her story and how she got here.  The first thing I'm making is a long fermented pizza dough.  Mix together on a Tuesday night pop it in the fridge until Friday night.  It's called Schiacciata which is a bread/pizza dough recipe and I'm looking forward to cooking this in my pizza oven.  The photo above and below are from the book, not my photos or cooking yet.


For our Christmas table this year I'm going to turn our napkins into little Christmas Trees so I've ordered a click and collect from Kmart for the Napkins.  See Beth from Baby Mac Blog's post from last year where I got the idea from.  I wanted to do this last year however the napkins all sold out and I'm still waiting on my order to be fulfilled at the moment so hopefully they are in stock.

Here's a few Christmas photos from the archives.
