The Wedding Catering Event of the Year!!





Sharon and I spent hours making the Creme Brulee's!! I cracked and seperated 5 dozen eggs with my hands and then we stirred and for ages....waited for ages....and then had to glaze the tops which was a long process involving heating a spoon up on the stove!


Sharon, Michael, Sarah and I spent many hours in the kitchen preparing food for the a wedding which was held in a beer brewery in Richmond. It was basically a warehouse with a bar at the front of it! There was no kitchen so we had to bring everything, including tables, wash tubs, the oven, plus everything else we needed to cook, clean and serve with!
Everything ran very successfully and we had no dramas!! There was 14 mains and 4 desserts to be served (i think!) and everything was miniature! We had mini baked potatoes, to small serves of fish and chips and bite sized sticky date puddings! I'm positively sure that none of the guests left the wedding still hungy!

V8 Cafe & Music Night








We organised a cafe & music night for V8 our youth group a few weeks ago. We asked Coby Demaria to come and play for us and also allowed the kids to have a go aswell, as there are a lot of talented guys and girls out there! Kassie also made pancakes to order which were very very yummy! It was a really good night so I'm pretty sure we'll organise another one later in the year!

"A party to remember!"









These were Oma's famous words regarding Opa's 80th birthday party! lol
...and Sharon made the cake, which was amazing!

"I like your sleeves, they're real big"

Still Burning



This photo was taken from the front of our house and is the smoke from the Upwey fires taken on the 23rd Feb.
I was also surprised to find this burnt leaf on the ground as there aren't any major fires burning that close to us.

Hen's Weekend






The weekend before Danielle's wedding, the bridesmaid's organised a Hen's Weekend for Danielle.
On the Friday night we stayed over at Michaela's house and relaxed for the evening. On Saturday morning we went down to the Peninsual Hot Springs for breakfast and a morning of lazing about in the warm baths. All the relaxing made us very tired so in the afternoon a few of the girls (including danielle) had a 'nana nap' for a few hours! On the Saturday night we headed out to Bel's house and then went out to the Elephant and Wheelbarrow in St.Kilda for a night of dancing! Then on Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a picnic and games at the Sherbrooke Picnic Grounds.
The whole weekend was a surprise for Danielle and I'm pretty sure she loved it very much!
