Last week of the Holiday

So it's back to uni tomorrow and I've got that sinking Sunday night feeling.

Been up to a lot of nice things over the past few days...

Had a trip to the zoo, a trip to IKEA, a walk along the Water of Leith, took part in the torch lit procession, walked in Holyrood park and had a strawberry sherbert ice cream at the beach :)

Golden scallops with sunblushed tomato mash

Turkey Wellington

This Christmas we made a delicious turkey wellington...

Turkey roasted with cranberry and thyme, coated in duxelle and
topped with crispy bacon and rosemary

All wrapped up in a pastry blanket

Yum!

HK stuff being all cute.

I think one of the best things about HK was how cute everyday things were. You'd see business men carrying packets of angry birds tissues and writing notes with propelling hello kitty pencils. 

Cute vending machine with drinks for so many moments!

Piggy wig wigs.

These were in all the corner shops.

Packet of biscuits but cuter.

Kind of beauty and the beast style. 

Angry bird. 

Being wholesome.

This weekend has been a particularly wholesome one. We have baked brownies, made roast dinner with yorkshire puds, gone for a lovely walk in Holyrood park, been to the library and played the hat game and some pool. We also made our first ever loaf of bread. We opted for black olive bread with rosemary and it turned out pretty well...
