Macaron Pictures

I thought that I would share some macaron pics with you, dear followers, because, you know, they are also just lovely to look at! Here are some that I baked for the Hope Street Market in Cape Town and a couple of my table displays.

Superb Seafood at Sydney Fish Market

 So there we were, my sister and I, bright and early on a December Sydney morning, and about to tackle the Sydney Fish Market. (Which has a wonderful view - see below) It was Christmas eve and the Sydneysiders, or the Australians as a whole, I believe, like to have a prawn on the barbie, by way of traditional Christmas fare.

Well, it is certainly a bit on the warm side for all the English Traditional trimmings. Well we still had a turkey on Christmas eve, which is when we were celebrating.... but really who can pass up a chance at having a turkey - it only happens once a year!

None the less, we were at the market to buy an ocean trout for the following (Christmas day).

As a foodie, I definitely recommend that you go and check out the market. Unfortunately, one of our Christmas party is allergic to seafood so we didn't indulge in all the other wonderful things that were at our disposal to buy. But I took lots of pics to remind me of the inspiration I felt while I was there. The range and quality of seafood and fish that is available is phenomenal.

And the ocean trout that we had the following day was absolutely delicious and done to perfection - on the barbie, of course!
