On the drive back home TM, Ma and I stopped off at this roadside barn selling fresh fruit and veges. I wanted to do the pick your own strawberries thing but we didn't have time on this trip. Next time for sure
The owner was a really friendly, easygoing Scotsman who moved here with his Kiwi wife some years back. I was interested in his home made fruit wines even though I rarely drink. Would make great birthday/Christmas presents for some of my friends
All of the produce was beautifully fresh and cheap too. I ended up buying a whole lot of stuff that goes for criminal prices where I live: Watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, etc (I live in a building with no light/space to grow anything).

Last month TM & I celebrated my 28th birthday and he made me a nice dinner. Ciabatta bought from the local bakery, corn on the cob, creamy homemade pasta and one of the crayfish that we brought home with us. Simple but good
I recently baked some of Ma's ginger and almond biscotti at home. A friend's 21st is coming up later this month, so I'm thinking of baking him gingerbread cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. Hope it turns out ok
