sunday night, monday night,and tuesday night

in my quest to be current.. here are what went on in my life since sunday night.

do not get puzzled why they are food photos. my life's centred around food.


sunday night, Adrian had his friend Pat around for desserts.

he came over at 7:30 pm, and stayed till 10pm.

Pat is a retired professor and now is enjoying life as a B & B owner at the Isle of Mull.

he and Adrian (and some others) are quite close and they always see one another at least once a year, althought they communicate regularly due to a business they have together.


here are the two, having baked apple pie and vanilla ice cream at the garden.

ive been having guests in the garden recently. its the only place in the house that you can breathe in, its so warm inside the house.


on monday night, i had my friend Lisa drop by and had biscuits and orange juice with me at the garden. she needed to drop by to drop off stuff i ordered from her Pampered chef party..*yaaayyy to a growing collection of bamboo cooking spoons, chef knives and some new baking tools*.


i wasnt able to take a photo of her, but i was able to take a photo of my dinner cooked by Adrian..





unfortunately, i wasnt able to take the sliced photo as i was famished by the time adrian dished out.





the cook who tended the garden before all the kitchen tasks he had to do as well. (no, im not a slave driver,really,haha).






the small yet very productive garden..we have a strawberry patch, tomato patch, an herb (rosemary, coriander, thyme) patch, carrots, potato patch, parsnip patch, plum and apple tree, blackcurrant, raspberry and blueberry bushes...as well as a flower patch, two tubs and four various little containers.

the gardener is quite a busy teacher as well, so he does what he can and i say he does a very good job=)

adrian's last day for work before summer holidays was today. so we met up at a coffee shop and had a 'summer plan' talk.








tonight, i was craving for something "saucy" and i was craving for roti's too, so i decided to go 'indian'.

hmmnnn, i wonder what tomorrow brings..


fish and chips maybe?

all photos (except the cofee + cake photo done by the iphone), are from my Dinky Niki (Nikon Coolpix).

Hi Ai=) sakto jud ka, he is so devoted to his garden, but he is not able to give as much time a he wants to coz of work..but now, he could coz he doesnt have face-toface classes anymore as he is only doing the online ones for the meantime (for the masteral students) kay off naman ang school..so he can face-to-face his plants..


if i may say so, you,my dearest, have an awesome life..mine is nice, but just average..an 8-4 employee,housemaker, and occasional blogger, fulltime foodie=) average average,average at best,haha=) i wish it was more exciting than it is (but still grateful)..panghatag sa imong lingaw diha beh=) *honest*
