Celery and Corn Soup
Hi! I have a moment to write a post because Sarah is asleep in her cot for the first time and I’m eating my dinner (this soup). The corn is sweet and crunchy, even though this has been on the stove for 6 hours. It’s sweet because of the creamed corn and sufficiently satisfying because […]
7 months
Wow! Seven months already! Sarah has been sitting on her own for 2 months or so, and she loves sitting up to play with her toys. This week I removed the toy arch from one of her play mats. She has grown out of it. Such is life. She loves noisy toys, and she […]
Baked Beans

We bought cheese at the Bruny Island Cheese Co – the only cheese factory that is licensed to make unpasteurised cheese. We went to The Neck, where we climbed the steps to […]

Similar recipe Here. I did make a few little changes. Tuesday Boston baked beans. You can find a recipe Here. I […]
