Scott Street Apartments Kangaroo Point

I was invited to view the opening of these apartments last week. One of my friends had done the interior decor of this particular apartment.
I love this table and the decanters

Chorizo and Potato Frittata

Any recipe that includes chorizo and potato has to be good. I was not disappointed with this recent effort.
Lovely comfort food
Just chorizo, potatoes, onions, fresh sage and eggs.

From the garden

There is not too much happening in the garden at the moment where random flowers are concerned.
This is all I could find

Looks lovely on the new buffet

L'Arte

On the way back from the Library last saturday i decided to drop into a coffee shop not far from where I live, that I have not visited before. It has been on Riding Road for a while but just didn't look that inviting from the road.

It was a delight. Friendly staff, great coffee and a little shady terrace out the back that will be lovely on a winter morning. I asked for one of the mini muffins to go with my coffee.

Beautiful presentation

Gum Nuts

Just right in the kitchen

So pretty
I went to the Farmers Market at the top of Queen Street on Wednesday. One of the flower ladies was selling bunches of Gum leaves with gum nuts. Only $5 for a bunch.

French Coffee Cake

I first made this cake in 1968. I wanted something quick and easy to make on short notice for morning tea for visitors. My boys loved this simple cake.
This plate is 50 years old
I made it again this morning when one of my best long time friends came for morning tea. We were have such a great catch up that morning tea turned to lunch. She finally left about 4.30pm. Such a fun day.

Museum of Brisbane

I did one of my regular visits to the Museum of Brisbane. I do hope that it returns to it's usual space in the City Hall when the renovations are finished.

I love Margaret Olley's paintings and was very happy to see 2 that the Museum owns on display.

I am looking forward to the recreation and exhibition of her workroom at Tweed Heads in the future.
