What we're reading...

What we're reading hasn't gotten much more exciting... I'm researching for an essay with a title to make the best of us want to bury our heads in the sand... So my reading this weeks has gotten dark and depressing. One book entitled A Brief History of Neoliberalism brought tears to my eyes in the first chapter but in the nature of keeping things a little light I've picked up como agua para chocolate so that should put a happy spin on my week... 

Speaking of chocolate Mrs Mck's chocolate cupcakes are calling me...

This Weekend @ RELAY

A little late I know... As its almost this weekend but this is for last weekend... We had a pretty uneventful weekend but we did make some lovely jubbly cakes.... 

Mrs Mck's mint choc chips were a special treat this week...

And these rose creams...

We're lucky enough to have the most fantastic italian neighbors to keep us entertained when we're bored...

We also had a visit from the lovely Katie Palmer and her sister and Katie very generously let us use her snapshot of our french toast to decorate our blog. Thanks Katie!

This week has been half term so Mrs Mck has been enjoying time with her lovable kids but back to school come monday :( Its ok though because summer is almost here!!

The lovely Alex from Okido just popped in and left us with these lovely copies of Okido. I'm tepmted to start colouring in and doing the activities... but I won't I'll let the kids have all the fun! 

What we're reading...

As we love books.... we figured we'd do a what we're reading regular post. I think it'll be fun... books are fantastic and god knows we read! I can't seem to stop reading actually... This week we have been reading:
We're Going on a Bear Hunt, what a book? It's so great when I was a kid it was my favourite and now Mrs Mck's baby boy can barely go a night without it for his bedtime story. I remember doing the actions with it at school all the time...
Also on this weeks reading list (the complete opposite) is An Introduction to Language sounds hugely boring but actually its pretty amazing learning the foundations of language makes learning a second language a hundred times easier... I've also been popping into a paper published by some friends of mine called The Paper they've been tackling  issues to do with student fees and how to free education... really exciting stuff....

Playing @ RELAY

This week we've been loving... A bit of a Janelle Monae situation.... 

I swear we could play that album all day everyday and we wouldn't get bored.... But no we don't listen to it constantly we also had a little Roots Phrenology moment....

I'm thinking a little Fleetwood Mac moment might be experienced this week...

This Weekend @ RELAY

So... Haven't blogged for ages. Sorry Lulu! But from now on i will be blogging a t least once a week... Letting you know what goes down each weekend. If i have a structure i should be able to stick to it. So this weekend what with it being pre valentine's day and even though i kinda detest the whole commercial valentine's thing as does MrsMck we do love to spread love. Especially if spreading love involves making CAKE!!!! so we made CAKE......

Mrs Mck whipped up some wicked heart shaped Red Velvets that went down a treat. I know I know cheesy but they were such a situation it made up for the cheese (plus you gotta love some cheese).

Mrs Mck also created a taste sensation we like to call Rose Creams... get to know...

Strawberries and mint... Who would've known it jazzes water up a treat?

We also had some very special guests some of our favourite people in the shape of Rowdy Superst*r and Fred Butler...

On that note a quick thanks to Fred for blogging us... We love seeing other people's pictures of what we've created...
