when i had heard that La Maison de Patisserie joining forces with another company (and is now known as The Pastry Pantry) and was creating a new type of gluten free pastry, i almost fell over myself trying to clamber onto a computer to check when/where/how it was available.
since going back on (some) gluten, i had tried using regular puff pastry and it just didn’t taste right! i didn’t have a reaction but i definately prefer the gluten free pastry..
on a whim, i decided to Google the brand yesterday afternoon and hooray, it was available to buy via the Gluten Free Direct website! so at about 3.30pm yesterday I ordered a few packs to tide me over for a few months, and today at 1pm – they arrived!
i can’t wait to get baking 🙂 first up will be a chocolate tart, i think. then some sort of pie, using the puff pastry. then another apple pie. oh, my thighs will pay the price but you can’t keep this girl out of the kitchen!

since i’ve had a bit of free time lately, i’ve been starting to look around the house for unfinished projects – we still need light shades or SOMETHING for 75% of the fittings in the house, and i wanted to decorate the upstairs play room (ex-4th bedroom/guest room). luckily for me, i came across forwalls decals on sale at a little decorating shop in our area! i ended up with 2 decals – a chalkboard truck (which ended up in Jasper’s room) and forest friends. how gorgeous does it look?
it was really easy to put up – i followed the design in the picture so i wouldn’t mess it up. the little owl and the woodpecker are adorable, but i didn’t use the hedgehog or mushroom yet (thinking of waiting until we work out where Jovie will sleep once she’s out of our room). i left a space to the left of it so i could put up a couple of my prints later on.
love it! you can by forwalls wall decals from their online store, or look out for them in your area.
so i knew i’d love my new laptop (selling my old one to my sis – this shiny new baby arrived today) but how cool is the fingerprint sign in/verification feature with digital persona?? i feel like i’m in a spy movie or something
all i need to do is swipe my pointer finger and voila – logged into EVERYTHING.
this could get me in trouble (read: lazy). next thing you know, i’m swiping my finger over the oven, hoping it’ll cook me dinner.
