Worth taking a look at.

This photo is of "Herman, the German Friendship Cake" which I made a few weeks ago, (not actually anything to do with Sarah's blog) because I can't post without a photo.

I've been reading Sarah's blog, Clover Lane for a little while now but her post this morning blew me away. What a fantastic idea - if you like cooking, go and see what she's done with her recipes :).
Thanks Sarah, for sharing this with everyone.

This got the neighbours talking ....

A new decoration on the tree at the end of our road this morning!

Eyebrows raised and tongues wagging ;-)

Sweet Pumpkin :)

We had a visit from our sweet little Pumpkin last night :)  Some of these photos fall into the "not perfect" category as they're a bit grainy or blurred but I love them all and just looking at them make me smile :)  (I may be slightly biased where this little Pumpkin is concerned though!)

 Mummy and Daddy took Alice Trick or Treating last night. They had already been to visit my parents and had another three stops after us.

 Alice was fascinated by our singing pumpking (which gets quite annoying after a while lol!)

 Look at that little tongue! So cute!

 It didn't take her too long to work out there was something in that pumpkin ;-)

 Also didn't take her too long to empty said things on to the floor  lol!

 Aunty Em had to help unwrap one of the chocolate lollies before she ate the paper

 On the move again and evidence of chocolate eating on the leaves.

Love you little Pumpkin :) xxx

Memories

On Friday, Mum and I had a trip to the South African shop in Redhill :)

 I had only been going for a few bits but ended up leaving with three bags full of goodies ;-)

Biltong

 As we walked round the shop we were both going "remember ....." or "remember when we had ....."   One chocolate bar in particular used to be my treat for the week, I'd buy a chocolate bar and the weekly magazine and eat the chocolate while reading it.  I just have to see it to remember that. 

 Needless to say, some chocolate managed to find it's way into the bag and the Cream Soda at the back is what Hugh and Claire used to drink when they were little. The Cream Soda they have here in the UK is quite different to our South African one so when I go I have to buy at least two bottles.

Funnily enough, peanut butter was never really something we had when I was growing up (I don't think Mum likes it) but I've always quite liked it and my children also do.  However, again, we like the South African Black Cat version (though can happily eat local brands when we don't have Black Cat). 

Are there any foods that have a strong memory for you?
