I'm sick! It's chilly where I live and I can't say I feel up to doing much <br />other than lying in bed and watching YouTube videos... So why not blog about it</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you're feeling like you might get sick this is a list of <b>Do</b>s and <b>Don't</b>s I try to adhere to when I'm sick.</span><br />
<br />
<b>DO</b> take the day off if you need too. Things can wait, people will get by without you for a while. Your health is important!<br />
<br />
<b>DON'T</b> have too much dairy if there's a lot of gunk (phlegm) in your throat and nose. Yum. <br />
<br />

I don't actually have a water vaporiser so I had to improvise and use an electric saucepan on low with water and some Eucalyptus Steam Inhalant (I used the brand <a href="http://www.bosistos.com/en/home" target="_blank">Bosisto's</a>) in it. It's really been helping my cough. (But <b>DON'T</b> leave a electric saucepan on, unattended for a long time)<br />
<br />
<b>DO </b>get lots of vitamins in. Upping your daily veggie intake is never a bad idea. Garlic, onion and vitamin C rich fruit (e.g. citrus fruits) are all great for preventing against and helping the body fight infections, colds and flu's.<br />
<br />
My favourite thing to do is just to chuck all the raw vegetables I have available into a saucepan with a tin or two of diced tomatoes and a tub of tomato paste. I don't bother with chopping finely or peeling I pretty much chuck it all in a pot with some water and let it simmer for a few hours, stirring occasionally until everything is cooked. I add the garlic and onion at the last minute then blend. It turns into a beautiful Neapolitan sauce - trust me!<br />
<br />
If you're unsure of what vegetables will taste good I have tried: <br />
Carrot, Zucchini, Broccoli, Mushroom, Beetroot, Capsicum (this can take over the flavour), Tomato, Brown Onion, Garlic among others and they have all worked well.<br />
<br />
I have also tried adding dried and fresh herbs, stock cubes, seasoning and red wine and this all added nicely to the flavour!<br />
<br />

<br />
Eat it with noodles, as a pizza sauce base, on a chicken parmigiana, with a vegetable bake or come up with your own way of eating it. The world is your oyster!<br />

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">What is it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Green juice is the name given to a juice made from <br />
leafy green vegetables. These days other vegetables as well as <br />
fruit are often added to these juices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
These juices are often made from these ingredients: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spinach, Apple, Zucchini, Cucumber, Lime, Carrot, Silverbeet, <br />
Beetroot, Pear, Ginger, Celery, Lemon, Tomato, Turmeric, <br />
Kale, Cabbage, Broccoli, Parsley or many others...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> What's so good about them?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well from what I understand, green juice is basically a vitamin hit. It's packed full <br />
of nutrients and it is an easy way to get the goodness out of vegetables. <br />
As long as you drink it quickly (so it doesn't lose all the nutrients) it's an excellent and <br />
healthy thing to add into your diet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT this is not to say it's the best way to get your nutrients. <br />
The fibre that you injest when you eat vegetables is a necessary part of a diet. <u><br />Juice is not a substitute for eating vegetables!</u><br />

I would note that you should try to use home grown or organic <br />
produce when juicing as non-organic produce is usually grown using <br />
many chemicals that may be harmful.</div>

* You are going to need a juicer or cold press machine to do this recipe. If you don't have one but you do have a blender you could blend the ingredients. This will come out with a think mixture with lots of pulp. You could thin this down with water or coconut water or you could put it through a sieve to get out the pulp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have fun with your juicing! Send me any good recipes you find/create!<br />
<br />
Laura<br />
xx<br />
<br />
P.S. Please don't throw the pulp into the trash! Put it on the garden, into the compost, leave it out for the birds to eat or even cook with it! I will try to upload a recipe which you could use the pulp in soon!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I really do think belting out to a good song is awesome for stress release!
Depending on your mood (and personality) I might suggest these options to sing along to:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h4>
<u><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3) <span class="watch-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="FROZEN - Let It Go Sing-along | Official Disney HD">Let It Go (</span><span class="watch-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="FROZEN - Let It Go Sing-along | Official Disney HD">Frozen) </span></span></span></u></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I
know this is a big favourite. I have to say even though it's not my
go-to it is a good one for when you're sick of being stressed or busy.. A definite thumbs
up! </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the perfect song to make you think that exams, assignments, tests, they do not matter in the grand scheme of things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a tear-jerking inspirational number. Actually? I love belting out to this song at any time! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was listening to an audio book version of 'The Secret Lives of Dresses' the other day and the character made some cookies. <br />Since then I couldn't get the idea of cookies out of my head... so I caved. I put down my exam revision notes and made some. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This recipe is slightly modified from a recipe I found online <a href="http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/choc-chip-cookies-L4351.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My dad gets bad headaches from chocolate so rather than making a huge batch of cookies that he can't eat I am making two versions of the cookie. I am making a batch of choc chip cookies and date cookies from this recipe. I will keep you updated on which goes better!<br /> </span><br />

This smoothie should be enjoyed while listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMAppa1cAVo&feature=kp" target="_blank">'Mmm, Yeah.' by Austin Mahone</a>. Not to toot my own horn but it's seriously good.<br />
<br />

This smoothie is nutritious and delicious but it is also has oats in it meaning it is more filling than your average smoothie. Raspberries are fantastically good for you, and adding spinach means you have one less serve of veggies to eat for the day! Too easy.<br />

P.S. If you halve the amount of milk and let this sit in the fridge for a few hours it will turn out to be more of a parfait/mousse.<br />

<br />
This weekend being the Queen's Birthday long weekend it has been a nice
chance to catch up with my sister, Anna. What better way to celebrate the
Queen's Birthday than with tea and scones. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Today my sister and I received a scone master class from Anna's lovely friend Jenna. We worked from a <a href="http://www.aww.com.au/" target="_blank">Women's Weekly</a> recipe from a few years back and modified it as we saw fit. This is our version of that recipe!<br />
<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>
2 1/5 cups Self-Raising Flour</li>
<li>
(Good) pinch of Salt</li>
<li>
30g Butter</li>
<li>1 1/4 cups of Milk</li>
<li>1 teaspoon Vinegar</li>
<li>
1 tablespoon sugar (if you want savoury scones you can decrease this amount to 1 teaspoon)</li>
</ul>
<div id="abstract">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
What to do:<br />
<ol>
<li>Mix your milk with your vinegar and leave to sit for 10 minutes. This will turn the milk into butter milk! </li>
<li>Preheat the oven to 250°C. </li>
<li>Sift the flour into bowl and stir in sugar and salt. </li>
<li>Cut up the butter, add it to the flour mixture and rub it in with fingertips until the texture is like that of fine breadcrumbs. You can add dried fruit at this point in time if that floats your boat.</li>
<li>Make hole in centre of flour. Slowly pour in the "butter milk" and combine the mixture with a knife in a chopping motion (this is key)! Continue until everything is combined and slightly sticky.</li>
<li>Flour a bench surface, turn out the scone mix onto it and knead lightly.</li>
<li> Roll out the scone mix with a floured rolling pin to 2-3cm thickness. Flour a cookie cutter or a drinking glass and begin cutting out the scones! Try to use all of the mixture without working it too much!</li>
<li>Place the cut scones close together on a greased or lined baking tray. Feel free to brush with milk to help create that perfect golden brown top!</li>
<li>Bake in oven for 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Enjoy warm with butter, jam, cream, tea and good company!</li>
</ol>

Because I want to put emphasis on the shoes I didn't want
to go too crazy on the other elements of the outfit. Jeans, an oversized
jumper and my burnt orange coat seemed the perfect things for an easy
outfit. Basically I was sticking to the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid).</div>

The music I'm about to talk about has made up the theme songs of my May. Some of these songs are fun, some are nostalgic and some are simply beautiful. Please enjoy them and let me know what you have been listening to. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBSUtTOFM4c" target="_blank">Sing/Latch Cover</a> - Hobbie Stuart</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a song I have been playing on repeat for some time now. It is a beautiful slowed down cover of Ed Sheeran's new single 'Sing' mixed in with 'Latch' by Disclosure. I love many of Hobbie Stuart's covers but this one was really something else. I have listened to it so many times and I am still mesmerised by the tension and beauty. Hobbies voice is so raw!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER5a393loPs&list=PLHrFvAkC5KpJkvSotFw1gfJ7MVUnsfpcM&index=1" target="_blank">Gold Snafu</a> - Sticky Fingers<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="watch-title long-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game [Official Music Video]"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span class="watch-title long-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game [Official Music Video]">This song is almost getting to the stage of being a classic in my play-list. It isn't new any more but it is so fun and energetic that it still deserves a mention. Definitely worth a listen and I'm sure it will get you groovin'!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span class="watch-title long-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game [Official Music Video]"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vopR3ys8Kw&feature=kp" target="_blank">Drop the Game</a> - </span></span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span class="watch-title long-title yt-uix-expander-head" dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game [Official Music Video]">Flume & Chet Faker</span></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is such a quiet pump up-song. It's got casual-but-cool down to a tee! Flume and Chet are good friends and their collaborations are always something special. 'Drop the Game' is no exception. This is a song that I just love listening to!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKL4X0PZz7M&index=8&list=PLHrFvAkC5KpJkvSotFw1gfJ7MVUnsfpcM" target="_blank">My Silver Lining</a> - First Aid Kit</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First Aid Kit have been a favourite duo of mine for quite a few years. They have such sultry, haunting country sound that is just a little bit rough around the edges. This song is fairly up-beat for the girls and it really showcases their singing nicely without the need to be a slow depressing song (You know what i mean though right?).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIfFA8-RaHQ" target="_blank">No Digity Cover</a> - Chet Faker</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh yeah.. damn Chetty boy! This is another song that I have been loving for a while now, but hey, it's just fantastic. I am a big fan of that chilled electro sound, interesting sampling and smooth solo vocals. This song is cool in its own right but Chet's smoky sound ups the ante ten fold! Plus who wouldn't want to listen to a song where a beautiful boy croons that he 'likes the way you work it'? I sure like hearing that!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xtg-ntDZGk&index=9&list=PLHrFvAkC5KpJkvSotFw1gfJ7MVUnsfpcM" target="_blank">Come a Little Closer</a> - Cage the Elephant</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To throw a curve ball into the musical mix we now have a 90s-esq pop rock song. Dirty guitars and whiny singing make for a fun little tune that really broke up the ballads and soft-electro songs I had otherwise been listening to! This song really did take me back to another era of music - ah those terrible taste 90s! What it was to watch '10 Things I Hate About You' in your super cool double denim outfit!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And last but not least the award of <b>best song of the month</b> goes to:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-HVwEcA00M&list=PLHrFvAkC5KpJkvSotFw1gfJ7MVUnsfpcM&index=4" target="_blank">Heart Shaped Box Cover</a> - Ásgeir</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This cover is actually incredible. The song is so different from the original yet </span><span style="font-size: large;">the emotion of the performance is still </span><span style="font-size: large;">so true to its roots. Stripped right back to piano and voice for most of the song, the second half sees some smooth electro, drums and vocal harmony. Ásgeir is so talented and is getting some well deserved recognition. There is really nothing else that can be said but this is a MUST listen!</span><br />

I am a self-confessed Market lover. I love car boot sales and bric-a-brac, I love food markets, I love vintage clothes markets and if there aren't any markets on? Well you will likely find me in an op-shop or a quirky cafe trying to get my fix! </div>

Adelaide has a bit of an up and coming market scene with the <a href="http://www.fishermenswharfmarkets.com.au/Home/Home.asp" target="_blank">Fishermen's Wharf Market</a>, the <a href="http://brightonsundaymarket.org/" target="_blank">Brighton Car Boot Sale</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AdelaideNightMarket?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Adelaide Night Market</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThatDapperMarket?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Dapper Market</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GillesStreetMarket?fref=ts" target="_blank">Gillies Street Market</a> just to name a few!</div>

Founded in August of 2013 it has built up an incredible following in just months. The Market Shed is a food lovers heaven and a people watchers dream. It is a hub of people who share an interest in healthy lifestyle, sustainability, organic produce but most of all food!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I confess that one short blog post is hardly enough to do justice to the energy, vibrancy and <span style="background-color: white;">diversity</span> of the Market Shed, but read on to get a glimpse!</div>

This stand was put together so beautifully and the food looked so good that I couldn't resist taking a happy snap or two! The fritoles (a new concept to me) looked so delicious and were sure to sell out fast or so I was told!<br />

Nurish who can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Nurishadelaide" target="_blank">here</a>, specialise in juices and sweet treats. I indulged in one of their 'Mean Green' Juices at $8.50 (but you do get $1 back if you return the jar!). I would definitely recommend these guys and I look forward to trying some of their healthy deserts next time I visit!</div>

If patisserie is your thing you can't go past '<a href="https://www.facebook.com/motherandsonsbakeryadelaide?fref=ts" target="_blank">Mother & Sons Bakery</a>'. We certainly couldn't!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
bakery, which is only open once a week at The Market Shed is a
collaboration between baker, Paul Tirglau, and Zannie Flanagan who,
according to their facebook page, is the 'market guru' of the team!The baked goods sell out fast and are as good they look! Not only does this stall provide scrumptious food but the venders are lovely and are always ready for a good chat!</div>

Oh
my! The Little Orange - Aranchini and Pizza Bar. Wow. It could have
been the fact that it was 11.30 am and we hadn't had anything to eat
other than a coffee for Anton and a juice for myself, but I'm inclined
to think that it was truly delicious (and I should know, having worked at a gourmet pizza bar for some time)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We ordered a breakfast pizza which was priced at $20 and which fed two
hungry people quite nicely. They had other pizzas on offer such as <span class="st">margherita</span> but the breakfast pizza seemed to us to be a fitting breakfast (funny that). The wait was around 20 minutes which gives you time to wander around and look at other stalls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately I have heard rumours that this stall is not a permanent one so make sure to check out their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/littleorangearancini" target="_blank">facebook page</a> to keep updated on their movements!</div>

Grand Flowers of Hyde Park had a beautiful selection of fresh cut flowers as well as potted flowers and chilli plants on offer. If my garden bed wasn't completely jam packed already you couldn't have stopped me going for my life in that stall!<br />

If you need to flavour those veggies you bought... Well why not go to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beach-Organics/181857901933468" target="_blank">Beach Organics</a> stall? For all your spice needs! And if the allure of your everyday spices isn't enough of a reason to check them out then at least go and look at their cinnamon stick (which were nearly the size of Anton!).</div>

There are far more stalls that I have neglected to mention or photograph. There was Greek and Japanese cuisine on offer. Tea stalls and Raw Macrons stalls, Waffle stalls and a Nut bar. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This market has most definitely won a place in my top 3 Adelaide markets (which is quite a big deal). The lively atmosphere, variety and welcoming nature of all involved in the project are just some of the lovely things which add up to making The Market Place a must visit attraction if you ever find yourself in Adelaide.</div>
<br />
I would recommend it to anyone and it has definitely become my regular place for a Sunday outing! <br />
<br />
Hoping to see you there!<br />

And here I will be discussing the nitty gritty of a party (using examples from my 21st). I am no expert in the matter of party preparation but perhaps my thought processes could be useful!<br /> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCcgEKwpnveHi7Ol1O9kFApAhaf7S7DBbxSKf1DvuB_y-GatZJIfbfRg96v7EnS8FbJbD8WbOq5rwYEfRWE89OhpaYKl9fdGadRW6dDHdpO2JLLJTGY818bL7hhZTsCE2kKld4aPmpjFf/s1600/DSC_9464.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCcgEKwpnveHi7Ol1O9kFApAhaf7S7DBbxSKf1DvuB_y-GatZJIfbfRg96v7EnS8FbJbD8WbOq5rwYEfRWE89OhpaYKl9fdGadRW6dDHdpO2JLLJTGY818bL7hhZTsCE2kKld4aPmpjFf/s1600/DSC_9464.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To my mind the little details are what make something special, and translating this into a party situation is no different! Get ready for me gushing about fairy lights, serviettes, glasses, cushions, candles and general craziness!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">(Some slightly obvious but none the less important) <b>Factors:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Theme:</b> I went for a garden party with a rose theme (as that is my middle name). <span style="font-size: small;">It could just have easily been a fairy party, old school movie night, bad taste party, high tea or food-related extravaganza!</span><b> </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Time of Day:</b> 4:30 till Late. <span style="font-size: small;">Time of day was a big one to decide on as it affects if you need special lighting amoung other factors. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Time of Year: </b>Mid Autumn. <span style="font-size: small;">We had to factor in rain, and heating. But maybe you might need to think about Cooling? Perhaps some palmleaf-wielding-workers to fan you and your guests? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Number of people:</b> Approximately 60. <span style="font-size: small;">This will determine how extravagant you can be. Paying for oysters to feed 6 close friends may be reasonable where going for spring rolls is fine for crowd pleasing.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Type of Occasion: </b>21st Birthday party. <span style="font-size: small;">Because we were planning a birthday party we thought about cake/speeches/party games. If you were planning a new years eve party you may want finger food, a good view (of fireworks), a large space (that isn't filled with fragile objects). If it's a wedding you might want going to look into a dance floor, a wedding cake and perhaps a book for people to write you notes in! These are quite obvious (and conventional) things but it does show that each type of occasion comes with a different check-list.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">No matter the occasion there are certain things you are likely to need. Parties are stressful, they make you busy and they never go perfectly but here is my check-list of things I needed (and you might want to think about too)!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Appropriate seating. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were accommodating all ages (from a 2 week old baby to a ninety year old lady). Because of this we had a mixture of tables, on ground seating and undercover (more comfortable) seating. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the mismatched look so we emphasised that by borrowing many different mismatched chair and table settings from friends and using them in interesting combinations. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Something to eat off or with.</b></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We opted for the tried and tested, no fuss serviette option for our finger food. Note the rose pattern for Laura Rose!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhi7_jU5gAjsFIyPizTORXsKkRqvVqRfQT1Zs7pZiHqVLW86XW45VSWV3xRs48Sbn12_KEWMz4nVagRUAibUMnv_6mlXtM47fd6_uCIcf231X9ob5bUoi7o57b_ft2B1fjrICIJVUlSYfU/s1600/plate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhi7_jU5gAjsFIyPizTORXsKkRqvVqRfQT1Zs7pZiHqVLW86XW45VSWV3xRs48Sbn12_KEWMz4nVagRUAibUMnv_6mlXtM47fd6_uCIcf231X9ob5bUoi7o57b_ft2B1fjrICIJVUlSYfU/s1600/plate.jpg" height="336" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Then provided our own everyday plates, knives and forks for the messier main course!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">We had very trustworthy guests, had they been younger or less coordinated plastic may have been a better option - food for thought! Haha</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lighting.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Who wouldn't want to have a night time party when you can indulge in fairy lights, lanterns and candles (oh my)! We used a brazier, some flood lights, fairy lights, candles and lanterns borrowed from friends and family. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once again you might notice my love of mismatched things - in this case jars! They are just too lovely and they work as candles holders or vases as well as cups!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Temperature control. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because it was practically glacial on the night we had to seriously think about this. To ensure that no one got frost bite we used:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">One brazier,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Two outdoor heaters,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">We provided blankets </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">and we made everyone dance!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Food</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a topic which is especially close to my heart - Ha! For eating we opted for middle eastern cuisine. We had everything from baklava to a lamb on this spit. If you're interested in more of a menu then I would be happy to share my version of a middle eastern banquet menu. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Activity</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dancing! A friend has a band who specialise in Celtic music, Bush dance music and Scandinavian Folk music among other things! They agreed to come and play and brought a caller with them to tell (and show) us all how to dance! This kept us all warm and merry as we laughed at our poor dancing abilities!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>Dancing is so much fun and I would really recommend considering it if you're ever stuck for a party activity! I really loved the fact that the style of dancing was something no one had ever done because we all looked as silly as each other! <b><br /></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so grateful to have been able to celebrate my 21st birthday surrounded by friends and family. I was lucky enough to have so much help in the preparation, and execution of the party. I hope this has given you some kind of inspiration or help for any future parties you may wish to throw!</span><br />

Because it was so expensive he could only justify buying the one piece, BUT he had hatched a cunning plan!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Feeling like detectives we slaved away studying this Pumpkin bread. So read on if you would like to find out how we made our version of this tasty treat! </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"> We were soon sure that it had:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">rosemary, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">sugar, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">caraway, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">eggs </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">and self raising flour.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">Along with the obvious ingredients of Feta cheese and Pumpkin. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRicyxNrJfCivqrMFxCD3HJb5eE06Am94XcwqLhR0YWeKNpCt9eG-kEJpwYyelSaanMgP-MYJ83TjXOThhQd-uV8cH18U4SkuPgKgyM5Xpg8QFQ6j98-HSa9LFnMavkwsj9bKlV6Fq2iX/s1600/P5224909.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRicyxNrJfCivqrMFxCD3HJb5eE06Am94XcwqLhR0YWeKNpCt9eG-kEJpwYyelSaanMgP-MYJ83TjXOThhQd-uV8cH18U4SkuPgKgyM5Xpg8QFQ6j98-HSa9LFnMavkwsj9bKlV6Fq2iX/s1600/P5224909.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We um-d and ah-d about whether or not the recipe was based on a bread or a scone recipe and finally decided that no bread was ever so moist. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So now we knew that we needed a scone recipe with added rosemary, feta and caraway spice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So without further ado here is our recipe (with a few alterations)!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients</u>:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">2 Cups Self Raising Flour</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">2 Cup </span>cubed Feta</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Three sprigs of</span> Rosemary</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground </span>Caraway <span style="background-color: white;">Seeds</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">1/2 Teaspoon</span> ground Nutmeg</span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So put your hair up, wash your hands and let the cooking begin! </span></div>

</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Method</u>:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan forced (approx. 392 Fahrenheit)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Mix caraway, nutmeg, coriander, sugar, salt, maca powder and one spring of rosemary roughly chopped in a large bowl, sift in flour.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Add in chopped butter and blend until it becomes a breadcrumb-like consistency. (I had to use a mixture of butter, margarine and olive oil to scrape the 70 grams so don't stress if you do the same!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Add mashed pumpkin, egg and buttermilk and blend until combined. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Add one cup chopped pumpkin, one spring chopped rosemary and one cup feta and mix with wooden spoon.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Oil your loaf mould with olive oil (or butter) and pour in the mixture.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Decorate with Quinoa, left over feta, rosemary and pumpkin.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Place in oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked (my loaf took over 50 minutes which i put down to the mould I used not conducting heat well!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Serve and enjoy!</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-size: large;">And so for the final result!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If (more like when) I do this recipe again I would definitely use a metal loaf mould. The ceramic just didn't transfer the heat properly and for that reason the cooking time stretched out longer than it should have. This also seems to have effected the loaf in that it didn't rise well. Along with changing the mould I might up the amount of self raising flour. <br /><br />In any case it is a delicious loaf; full of flavour and warmth. For my friends in the southern hemisphere this would accompany a soup perfectly on a cold night in. For you northern hemispherians serve it cold with cold meat and salad for a refreshing meal! <br />In any case please do try it!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you do try it you could post a photo to instagram with the hashtag #detectiveloaf or let me know in the comments! <br /><br />Have a lovely day,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my mid-monday chillout song for this week.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The sultry voice, soaring piano, lovely strings and chilled electronics are totally refreshing, just like taking a nap! Ha </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But in all seriousness it is a nice song to close your eyes to. It really takes you to another place and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/alinabaraz" target="_blank">Alina Baraz</a> deserves some serious recognition!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Enjoy!</span><br />

Thrifted from a local market they are elegant, modern, flattering and they feel just as daring and bold a choice for me today as I imagine they were when they were new. I'm sure they're not every girls cup of tea but when I put them on I feel so floaty and effortless that this doesn't bother me at all. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I really love incorporating classic, elegant pieces from
times gone by into my wardrobe. I jucstapose those
"vintage gems" with newer, more modern items. This creates an interesting
result. For me this is an outfit which would be suitable for a number
of different
occasions from a family get together to a work do! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't recommend enough a pair of elegant dress-pants; they are truly essential to any wardrobe. They are flattering (they make my legs look miles longer and thinner than they are), comfortable and bold. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have always been a light eater when it comes to breakfast and this smoothie tastes awesome! So without further ado; my favourite healthy breakfast smoothie!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Chocolate Nut Smoothie:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 banana</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1/4 large avocado </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 handful of baby spinach</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 heaped teaspoon almond paste (you can use any nut paste/butter you like)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">3-4 teaspoons coco powder</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1-2 drops of vanilla essence</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1 cup of the milk of your choice (adjust this to how thick you like it!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">OPTIONAL agave syrup or honey to sweeten</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: large;">Method:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Place banana, avocado, baby spinach, almond paste and coco powder and vanilla essence in bowl and blend until smooth (You could definitely use a blender if your are lucky enough to have one. Unfortunately all we have is a bar mix but I shouldn't complain because it does do the job) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Add in the milk (and agave syrup/honey)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Blend everything together</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Place in cute jar and drink with a cute straw (this is absolutely necessary)!</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> My tips:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> If you like your drinks cold, you can freeze your bananas overnight before blending them!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> If you don't feel like a smoothie just don't add any milk! Your mixture will come out much more like a chocolate mousse. If you want to turn it into a "mousse" you could add more avocado and, when it's mixed, set it in the fridge for an hour or two and it turns out very nicely!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I would only add agave or honey if the banana was seriously under ripe. Otherwise the natural sugars are usually enough!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If you decide use a regular kraft peanut butter or some similar nut butter with added sugar you probably won't need to add any sweetener. I prefer the pure nut version as it makes me feel like a healthy person but I have also tried a normal peanut butter in there and I can't deny it is scrumptious!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />

If I were to give it a name I might call it a <b>'</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Work Drinks</b>' outfit (Pity I don't have an office from which to go to post work drinks). </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is an outfit I could see suiting those elegant ladies (probably in their 20s, 30s or 40s) who just want to add a little bit of youth into their everyday look.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this pencil skirt because e</span><span style="font-size: large;">ven though it is a modest length, its tailored fit and
gathered detail make it fun and young. I have paired it with a simple
black camisole top (<a href="http://www.sportsgirl.com.au/" target="_blank">sportsgirl</a>). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you were concerned about showing too much skin in a day time ensemble you could easily throw on a colourful blazer. I know first hand how having bare arms can make one feel uncomfortable (flabby arms anyone?). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In my
opinion the heels (<a href="http://www.betts.com.au/for-her.html" target="_blank">betts</a>) are the key item in this ensemble. Because the top and
skirt are so neutral - in both colour and shape - I added some
quirky orange heels to play up the youthful look.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You could add whichever exciting heel you like. I chose these ones not
only for their colour and interesting corduroy-esq material but also for
their geometric shape. If I had gone for a classic
thin-heeled-pointy-toed-pumps in a bright blue or a chunky-wedged-heels in black there would not have been as much contrast. I believe pairing this
outfit with a more demure heel would make it too corporate; however I
will admit that this is a matter of personal taste.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure when a poor, 21 year old arts student would have occasion to wear such a fabulous pencil skirt but I'll keep you posted if I ever get the chance! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rather recently it was my 21st birthday and, as with all big birthdays in my family, there was a party to match the occasion! This party happened to be my first foray into party planning and I don't want to brag but I would say it was quite a success! This will be the first (in many) posts dedicated to sharing what things I used, big and small, for my 21st birthday celebration. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you are: Having a <span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">family party</span></span>?

Or if you <span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">don't need any excuse</span></span> to doll up your drinks read on to see the when, what, where, how and why of these beautiful drink glasses!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sourcing the jars. </b>I'll admit, this is pretty easy. You don't have to go far to find cute little jam jars, milk bottles and other similar glassware. Any of your inexpensive 1-dollar type stores will have them! I found them in <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.cheapaschips.com.au/" target="_blank">Cheap as Chips</a></span>, <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.rejectshop.com.au/" target="_blank">The Reject Shop</a></span> and <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.ikea.com/au/en/preindex.html" target="_blank">IKEA</a></span>
among others. I bought my jars and bottles in lots of different shapes
and sizes because I really like the higgledy piggledy effect that gives!
Obviously its up to you if you go for uniformity or chaos in you
drink-ware! They ranged from around 90c - $1.50 each (that is Australian
Dollars). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My main advice is: hold out for the good
stuff! I have to admit I got complacent, I got worried that I might not
find what I was looking for and ended up buying a lot of milk bottles in
a soft plastic which really wont be good for more than one or two uses!
After buying them I discovered the same product in glass was sold at
IKEA. So don't be too hasty when buying - it's a process!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Individualising even further.</b>
String or Ribbon around the top of the bottle can give it a little
extra punch of personality. Straws! I have to admit my love for straws
has reached epic proportions after finding the gems you can see pictured below!
I took the higgledy piggledy effect a bit further and bought all
different kinds of straws in spots and stripes and various colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The fabulous filling.</b>
Well pretty much anything and everything would look cute in these
babies! I am planning on making a whole other blog post on party drinks
(think mulled wine, punch, iced tea). My main suggestions would be that
the drink is: </span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cold</b>. You don't really want to drink a hot drink with a straw! Not to mention the a hot jar wouldn't be great to hold onto!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Colourful</b>.What isn't to like about a colourful drink. if you're going to go to the effort of putting these jars together a
colourful drink really would suit best. However if your favourite drink
happens to be Sprite, why not add a drop of food colouring or some
colourful fruit.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In fact I would suggest <b>adding fruit</b> to any drink (how cute would that look in the jar). </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of my top drink picks would be: fresh lemonade, fruit punch, iced tea, fancy lemonade (raspberry, lime, ginger etc).</span><br />

<br />
I've visited England, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Italy to name a few. I've gotten the flu, slept in dorms for almost three months (minus the sleep part), been kicked out of dorms, spent nights on trains or in stations, met some crazy people, eaten more bratwurst than i thought humanly possible and made a lot of memories. <br />
<br />
It's one of those happy/sad things, coming home, and I suppose it's
really a relief! Now i feel like I can really start to enjoy all of the
memories I have made without all the stress of the moment!<br />
<br />
If you want i could share a select story or two.. let me know!<br />
<br />
I hope you all have excellent weekends, <br />
