Cookie, definitely stay away from Lune pastries.  The Grand Hyatt is just across the road from the Lune shop. Very dangerous. There is a queue of between 20 and 50 people all day.
The Hummus that Marina gave me was amazing. It was slightly smoky, silky smooth and with just a touch of lemon. Thank you Marina.

I think our biscuit barrel has a leak in it. I made another batch today.
. Cookie, love this.
It is sooooo nice to be home to cook. I’m already working on a SD loaf.  Haven’t made SD bread for ages, only crumpets. Using the Baker Bleu book as a guide that Marina has lent me.
Cheese biscuits for a neighbour who looked after house while I was away.

So sad for you and your friend Mab.

The Melbourne catch up sounds like enormous fun. I’ve only read about Lune crossaints and pastries. They sound delicious. It’s probably lucky I’m over here. 😀

Chookie,how lovely to catch up with Marina and her DH for a cuppa.  It's a sign of a good friendship when you can catch up after a long time without seeing each other.

We attended the funeral of my friends DH today.

Going home. Can’t wait , as Marina and her DH have lent me the Baker Bleu cook book. I met with Marina and her DH yesterday. It was so nice to catchup after a long time.  It’s funny how we just continue from where we left off , sometimes years before. I’m also looking forward to the locally made Hummus that Marina gave me.
I’ve decided, after eating my way around Melbourne, that the general food on offer, is not really that good. Exceptions are for the very expensive carefully prepared food. What we home cooks do is really quite amazing.
KAtie, getting old can test our patience. However , don’t give in and go under. Fight to extract every moment of pleasure out of each day. The people we mix with has a lot to do with this pleasure. ( see above)
