…..but I made it through. I went to work and picked Ethan up from kindy at lunch time and shopped for Halloween party snacks and face paint and pumpkins and came home and carved my first Jack ‘O Lantern and painted my first Cheetah face …
Ethan and I had the pleasure of spending Miss Freya’s Very Special 6th Birthday with her last week. She got her splendid new pink cast put on in the morning….and then we kicked off Freya’s Special Day with lunch. Her choice, of course, but it …
Dave and E went fishing with Mikey and Gemma today and came home with a bin FULL of big fish. Ethan reeled in his biggest fish yet, an impressive 8 pound snapper – hooked and brought to the boat all by himself, I think today …
That’s right, Ethan is going to be a clubbie, and so are we! We joined Muriwai Surf Lifesaving Club in the weekend and the season starts beginning of November. Can’t wait……to don my wettie and teach little tads about beach safety! (not sure how easy-E is going to feel about the speedo though)…….

Eating Baking always cheers me up and I knew exactly what I wanted to make today. I have only recently become a fan of dates, they seem to be Abby’s favourite scone variety so whenever we have morning tea she always comes equipped with some date scones.
Dates are yummy, are grown on palm trees and are a source of vitamin C – now you know!
The staple Edmond’s recipe is a winner and it’s what Ethan and I used today to whip up these guys; he did an awesome job of chopping all the dates up for me – that boy loves to eat cook as much as his parents do!
* 3 cup flour
* 6 tsp Baking Powder
* 1/4 tsp Salt,
* 75g Butter
* 1 -1.5 cups Milk
For Date scones add 3/4 cup chopped dates, 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to flour
Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add milk and mix quickly with a knife to a soft dough. Knead a few times. Lightly dust oven tray with flour. Press scone dough out onto this. Cut into 12 even sized pieces. Leave a 2 cm space between scones. Brush tops with milk. Bake at 220C for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 12
(209 cal per scone approx. not bad)
