Second Look Sunday 30 August 2015

Second Look SundaySecond Look Sunday 30 August 2015

Spring is just a hair away and it’s just making want to eat! I want fresh, crunchy things. Deep green leaves, shiny red apples, salad sandwiches, bright beetroot and juicy strawberries. And pizza, pizza is always good. I’ve been changing things up in the kitchen this week, so stay tuned for a few new season recipes. We also ate out on Friday night at a newish cafe place called Juniper & Pine. We started out with crumbed brie with cherries, then Mr Ask moved on to porterhouse steak (with fries, béarnaise, jus and green beans) and I moved on to the beetroot and haloumi salad (quinoa, spinach, dill & pine nut). Dinner was delicious but dessert was to die for! We had the Lemon & Raspberry (lemon posset, rose floss, pistachio shortbread crumble, raspberry soufflé). We shared but I immediately regretted that decision and wished I had it all to myself. Which means we’ll be back sometime. Today, is pancakes. Pancakes with strawberries. But it’s not all food, this stuff happened too:
  • In 1916, a man mailed a building to Utah. He needed to build a bank, but his construction materials were 126 miles away. He packaged 80,000 bricks into boxes and mailed them. They got there, but the US postal service was not amused.

  • For those of you have ever wondered, “how do they eat while they’re riding those long bike rides?”

  • 21 Obscenely pretty beauty products that should be in a museum.

  • The police officer who leaked the footage of the surfers paradise police brutality, where the victims blood was washed away by officers, has been criminally charged for bringing it to the public’s view. Officers who did the bashing get nothing.

  • Letter a parent received from their daughters school today. Her Wonder Woman lunchbox features a violent super hero that does not comply with the school’s dress code.

  • Kara and I have been collaborating on a few blog posts (full list here) and the final post is up! Check out how I answered the tough questions when Kara interviewed me! 
  • Did you know that “inner speech” (the voice you hear inside your head when you’re reading or thinking) is accompanied by tiny muscular movements in the larynx?

  • How cats became rulers of the internet…

  • This week I posted about about an embroidered dog portrait I made for Mum and the new blog look. I’d love your thoughts on both…

  • Hard time cluttering? The “IKEA bias”makes you place a disproportionately high value on stuff you partially assemble yourself, regardless of the quality of the end result.

  • What happens when a fashion blogger lets her Mum dress her for a week?

  • Modern struggles:“Phantom Vibration Syndrome” where a person perceives a vibration from their device when, in fact, it’s not doing so and may not even be in the vicinity.

  • And for this weeks aww…… I give you a pole dancing cat and these dogs that couldn’t possibly know how cute they are.

  • Oh my the coffee is going down so well this morning. I think I’m going to sit here for a while and stare out the window for a while. All my jobs are done, so today will be prepping for the week to come. Next week is going to be big, so a little organization now should go a long way later. I’m wishing you perfect, fresh fruit or even better – fresh, fruity desserts xxxxx
