Gingerbread man

Looking for a perfect Christmas gift? My favourite man mr gingerbread never fails to bring smile to anyone's face young or old.

Last night we went to have dinner at Emon in Surry Hills my workmate gave everyone a gingerbread cookies which bring lots of smiles to the table

If you are interested in making it yourself here are my gingerbread recipe:

Ingredients

• 140g butter
• 1 cup (160g) brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (175g) treacle
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 4 cups (600g) plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• Icing, to decorate
• Thin ribbon, to hang

Method

1. Melt the butter, brown sugar, treacle, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a saucepan over a medium heat. Set aside.
2. Stir in the eggs and vanilla essence. Stir in the flour and baking powder until smooth. Divide the dough into 3 portions. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
3. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with nonstick baking paper. Roll out 1 portion of the dough to 4mm thick between 2 sheets of baking paper. Use Christmas cookie cutters to cut out biscuit shapes. Place on the trays.
4. Use the end of a piping nozzle to make a hole in the top of each biscuit. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until golden and firm. Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
5. Decorate with icing. Thread with ribbon to hang on the Christmas tree.

• Merry xmas!

Balcony bar

Went for dinner on Monday night with a couple of girls from work at Balcony Bar, which was very nice.

I just discover this bar recently and wholly impressed by it, it's just a small intimate bar with nice wine list and weekly menus.

I had the Monday 3 course meal deal for $40 incl a bottle of red from the hunter valley. The service is a little slow as there were only two person minding the bar, but really that's the only downside, everything else including my haloumi, steak and dessert was perfect.

So... Planning s relax dinner or catch up with a special place, this is a place to be.

My little galaxy

Currently i'm loving this galaxy print dress as part of my bright colour obsession its subtle enough to wear during the day and fun enough to wear at night.

Since its sort of an office event i'm going to team it with my leather jacket but the dancing shoes will not join the team this time instead i'm going to go for comfort with my ankle boots well...unless its too hot...

oh so fun!
