they say, "Sunday Suppers are class-cooking-dining experiences, pairing friends and food." i wish brooklyn was a teensy bit closer to waimarama and then we'd be over enjoying a delicious meal in a waterfront loft. in the meantime i'm eyeing up the recipe for chocolate yogurt cake. heaven!

celebrating summer
the days are definitely getting shorter around here so to celebrate the amazing summer we have had (or if you live in the hawke's bay, still having) i thought i'd share some diana photos of a lunch we had at craggy range. it was new years eve and blisteringly hot, the boys had just got back from golf and we'd been shopping in havelock north. we sat and drank pinot gris and savoured the moment with good friends.

feb 2013
photo above taken with my diane f+ camera and cross-processed as part of my january intentions
a new month; new goals
make fresh pasta > we were lucky enough to receive a pasta maker for christmas and i can't wait to try it out. does anyone have a fail-safe recipe? i think i'm going to start with jamie oliver's - and will share the results!
read 'the 7 habits of highly effective people' > i've got a slight head-start with this goal as i've joined an online bookclub organised by jess lively, and i'm really looking forward to using my time with more intention (less pinterest!!)
comment more > i use google reader to keep up with my regular blogs but it's easy to read through posts and scroll to the next. this february i'm encouraging myself to join the conversation.

achoo
having a cold is no fun but i'm making the most of my time-out by finding new inspiration with
the branding and clothes at imogene + willie, this post and also by making a meyer lemon pudding cake - so good (cold or not!) my father-in-law declared it 'restaurant quality'!

ginger kisses
yesterday i decided to make ginger kisses, for no other reason than it felt like a day that needed icing sugar.
i used the recipe from this book and i had kisses in under an hour. i was also inspired to get my blogging back on track so from monday look out for more regular posting. the plan is for diana travels on tuesdays, fashion collages on wednesdays and fridays a peek at what's inspiring me for the weekend.
enjoy!

breakfast
i will go all out here and declare breakfast to be my most favourite meal of the day, followed closely by dessert... therefore BKFST (via miss moss) has gone straight to my bookmark bar and in celebration i took a quick shot of my bowl this morning
so so so so yummy! and even better to relax in bed with a big mug of coffee!

knots
sunday, i used this recipe to make bread rolls for lunch. i also decided to throw all caution to the wind and knead the dough by hand. forty minutes (and two do-you-think-it's-kneaded enough??!! phone-calls to my mum) it was ready to tie into delicious wee knots and we ate them straight out of the oven. so good!
