In Australia most eggs are brown, so in order to strip the eggs off of the brown pigmentation, you simply boil the eggs in white vinegar till the brown comes off, or if it doesn't, you will see that it becomes a slippery film and you can just rub with your fingers under cold running water, it rubs off easily to reveal white shells. <br />
I hard-boiled my eggs in water before I did the brown-pigmentation-stripping because that way you don't risk the eggs breaking.<br />

I have to say I had so much fun experimenting. Some of the eggs turned out a bit speckled because I didn't leave them in the fridge overnight, I only left them in for a few hours; but that's part of the experiement, and I like the speckled/uneven look as well.<br />

I set them up with some egg cups with tealight candles and egg shells, and a genuine abandoned bird's nest with sugar-shelled choc eggs in a glass cloche pedestal set, all so very eggy themed!<br />

It's some small changes I made on my kitchen counter. I enjoy changing things up a bit sometimes. I made some clay tags ( I used Magic Clay which dried and became very airy and light ) and transforming to chalk board from a metal board I've had for a while. I simply painted it with black chalk board paint.<br />
The black and white really pop in this space!<br />

Alrighty, have a wonderful rest of the week, friends. <br /><br />Rosy Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16339872826202772834noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-72740868626117095162011-07-12T15:05:00.000-07:002011-07-12T00:07:18.996-07:00Roses in WinterHi, how are you all doing? Hope you are having a good week.<br />
Some ladies have asked me why I still have roses in the middle of winter. <br />
The reason is our winter is reasonably mild and there's been sunshine even though there has been dark and cloudy rainy days. <br />
I think the combination of sunshine and water is a pretty good recipe for flowers.<br />

I've been blessed with all these roses. This one below is called China Doll, I have it as a Tree Rose. It always has multiple blooms on each single branch , never just single flower or two.<br />

I've been baking Anzac (stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corp) biscuits numerous times this last month. <br />
My kids simply love them and consume them at lightning speed. <br />
Fortunately they are so easy to make.<br />
So I thought I would share the recipe here,<br />
this recipe is taken out of one of the Women's Weekly's mini cookbooks named "Biscuits and Slices".<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: orange;">Anzac Biscuits</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">For better result, use traditional rolled oats rather than quick-cook rolled oats.</span><br />
<br />
1 cup (90g) rolled oats<br />
1 cup (150g) plain flour<br />
1/2 cup (110g) sugar<br />
3/4 cup (65g) desiccated coconut (I don't use this as someone in my family doesn't like it)<br />
125 g butter<br />
1 tablespoon golden syrup<br />
1 teaspoon bicarb soda<br />
2 tablespoon boiling water<br />
<br />
Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut (if using) in large bowl. <br />
Combine butter and golder syrup in a small saucepan, stir over heat until butter is melted.<br />
Combine soda and water, add to butter mixture; stir into dry ingredients while mixture is still warm. <br />
Place heaped tablespoons of mixture on oven tray lined with baking paper, 5cm apart, press down lightly. <br />
Bake in a slow oven (160C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. <br />
Stand biscuits 5 minutes to cool on tray to give time for biscuits to solidify.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Yesterday there was a break from the rain and I gathered these roses from the garden as part of our gifts for a family as we were invited over for dinner. <br />
The Perfumed Perfections (purply/mauve ones) are showing off their colour and fragrance to the fullest at the moment, and since the lady of that family loves purple, I thought they would be perfect for her. <br />
I mixed in peach and pink roses to make the bouquet more interesting and here are some photos to show you. <br />
The joint forces of fragrances nearly knocked me out! <br />
<br />
There's something special about the colour purple, especially on roses.<br />

Hope you have a great start to the week.<br />
Blogger was down from time to time last week and when it was back up, I lost some of your comments on the last post, even though I could still read them in my inbox. So if you left a comment and they are not in the last post, thanks for taking your precious time to leave the comments, it's always a pleasure for me to read them. <br />
Today I want to share some BEFORE and AFTER photos from my file. We've been living in our house for 10 years now and over the years the decor has gone through quite a bit of tweaking and changes. There have been significant changes just in the living room alone. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The upholstery was dark when the kids were little.<br />

Autumn is a fantastic time of the year, I'm definitely enjoying it. <br />
The English Roses in my garden have been giving me larger and better flowers that don't fade so quickly and beautiful heavenly scents that stay forever.(even when the petals are dried)<br />

I painted the picture frame antique white, it was gold before, I added two ornate spoons which I got years ago and made a 3D framed art. I moved my French grey wire cloche and cake stand from another part of the room and placed a white teacup and saucer with some teaspoons in it. I used some old books to make the Patisserie sign I painted stand taller. The candlestick remains, you can't see clearly in the pictures, but it lends height to this little decor. <br />

Here are some photos of our kitchen where lots of cooking (and cleaning) takes place everyday.<br />
It's mostly white(with blue), it's simple, but I do like cooking in it.<br />
I also love the fact that it's always bright in my kitchen, even on cloudy days.<br />

I'm so glad our roses season are quite long here and they flower 9-10 months of the year!<br />
I've had this pitcher and bowl set for ten years, I bought them seperately and thought they would look great together, they are pretty and rosy. You can click on the pictures to see them more clearly.<br />

Have a good week!</div>Rosy Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16339872826202772834noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720797498407809360.post-9306088117385760172011-04-07T09:26:00.000-07:002011-04-07T18:26:24.362-07:00Dinner TablescapeHi, dear friends, how are you all? Have you had a good week? <br />
It's Thursday already, this week has flown by so quickly.<br />
We had company for dinner last Friday, and so I snapped some photos in the afternoon-before everyone got here-to show you the tablescape. I also cut some roses from my garden to adorn the table. They were a rave as they were divinely scented, as many of the David Austin roses are. We're so blessed to have them. <br />
The pink bud roses are not David Austin though, they are a Floribunda called Pink Simplicity, I especially like their buds. <br />
Well, simplicity was to be the theme for my tablescape as well!<br />
<br />

I made those personalised napkin ring tags. The napkin rings are ceramic with lace pattern, I simply cut up some white cardstock paper and free-handedly wrote the guests' first initials with a black texter and did the finer parts with an art-liner. I stuck the tags on with Blu-Tak (a sticky putty). The napkin was folded in the shape of a candle. Oops, I forgot the bread plates at that stage.<br />
If you look closely, I used different sets of cutlery and dinnerplates for ladies and gents, simply because I didn't have enough of either set for the total number of people (odd number 9). It worked quite well for me to mix and match them because the dishes are all white. The ladies got the more ornate dinnerplates and and the gents more plain ones. (not meaning to stereotype here!)<br />

<div>
The juicy sweetness of its flesh just makes my mouth water every time I think of it.</div>
<div>
I love it in ice cream and desserts just as much as on its own.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
it has mango pieces, canned pineapple pieces, unsalted pistachios and dried cranberries in an ice cream made with strawberry puree, whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk,</div>
<div>
I love the sensation of every mouthful you get hit with different ingredients,</div>
<div>
the fruit and nut combo always appeal to me.</div>
<div>
Now dig in, shall we?<br />

<div>
This cheesecake is delicious, </div>
<div>
even if you think you can't make cheesecake,</div>
<div>
you'll have to try this. </div>
<div>
It's not as hard as you think.</div>

<div>
See the little guys standing up with a letter pegged to them with a mini peg?<br />
They are cute, aren't they?</div>
<div>
<div>
I just love the idea of them standing around in front of every placesetting at the table to show the guests where their seats are.<br />
I've been combining work with enjoying and eating, in this case Mango Cheesecake,</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
been twisting wires making these for placecards,</div>
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585216354252301394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PAxcEddXulz0cVVty3snQPz73nQ4JRBcvvaSr2Z4kj1xHFqm4WkQrRUnTfUYCjR2P1zVTzZtwVv8LdobYsDJRb_GGBnBA5gZK1PlNT0C4OgkO1xHfeSmzksEeYiGox7ZtYAKC_Jl-WC-/s400/IMGP4464+reduced+r.i..jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />You can't see it clearly, but there's actually a little hook that I twisted for the letter card to sit on.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585235175272450514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhinVs5xPxks6NagmfrIU12PO2A6FGqMLSKLHhfxA40YoUiP35zClaDdAzPGFqH6VPyt2BDBhE_vNoeO6IpFIXvHlZiR-5CKCIKwMpJSDqzFd5Lx-MyxhklXT4DnfEXqLHeMd1yNXHgwaqQ/s400/IMGP4468+reduced+r.i..jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />The top of the stand is like the shape of the top end of a shepherd's staff.<br />
<div>
I think they are handy especially when different guests with different names come over,</div>
<div>
I can just swap the letters over to suit the initial of their first name. </div>
<div>
Or I could make up some name cards with their first name on,</div>
<div>
or make the card white and the names black so they look more distinctive.</div>

Now if you would excuse me,</div>

The Christmas season is very busy for us, but there is definitely an atmosphere of excitement building as Christmas gets closer and closer.

French Macarons and Madeleines in particular.
They are really scrumptious treats indeed;
I have to stop myself from eating too much of them.

Do you like them?
I found the process of making the macarons a bit more time-consuming and finicky and they are rather sweet to eat,
they were supposed to be pink (strawberry flavour),
but I didn't add enough pink food colouring ( I must've been too well conditioned not to have food colouring in food) to make them turn out pink enough.
Good thing is my kids still absolutely loved them whether they were pink or not. The Madeleines were simple and easy-peasy to make but disappeared extremely quickly as soon as they were out of the oven.
If you asked me if I would bake them again,
I would say I would. ( I would love to make Mint Green Macarons next time!)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4I24zI6XlETSr4OTeoqKSfVqJfPXSKiCWrWLwfsjXEh8_W35rdnnEOGIHoZeUwqcnyUmtNDtj8Cki3GStV-2KeNLpo_WQN3XgO83DobbL3zhsyAzu8eC15SYGN7R6cEWLyrPyrrKOZjd9/s1600/IMGP3257reduced+r.i..jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534434582436078002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4I24zI6XlETSr4OTeoqKSfVqJfPXSKiCWrWLwfsjXEh8_W35rdnnEOGIHoZeUwqcnyUmtNDtj8Cki3GStV-2KeNLpo_WQN3XgO83DobbL3zhsyAzu8eC15SYGN7R6cEWLyrPyrrKOZjd9/s400/IMGP3257reduced+r.i..jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a>Thanks for coming by here,

I for one am not fond of the winter,
so I'm always glad when Spring comes.
My roses in the front garden are blooming earlier than the back ones as usual.

but the busy-ness of life often keeps me away from the garden.
