Good things are coming…

Spring had finally arrived here on the border and I have hung up my Winter coat!YAY. Last week we had an opportunity to visit a friends family in the countryside and pick some yummy strawberries on the way home…we made some new friends along the way including the cutest pup and his owner (could have taken them both home with me!).

Celebrating a Birthday…

This weekend we celebrated Phil’s birthday! It kicked off on Saturday with a surprise party, a few close friends and BBQ! Phil was an awfully good sport, giving in when I insisted on leaving at precisely 6.30…even thought we had ‘no plans that evening’! This restaurant is tucked away in a little side street in Korean town and is definitely one of our faves for a cosy atmosphere and great food! We booked one of the hot rooms, turned on those heated plates and cooked some good meat and wrapped it in lettuce with garlic and spices. It’s so goooood, trust me!

The next day Phil and I enjoyed a lazy morning with pancakes, chatting over breakfast. We had a few regulars over in the afternoon for some chocolate and red velvet cupcakes. I will admit these were a cake mix I had been saving for the occasion…totally worth it, thank you Betty Crocker! Instead of cream cheese frosting we enjoyed fresh cream…ha you gotta be a little resourceful!
