Homey

There's a great new tradition starting in the Wood household: going out for breakfast on the weekends. Ahh yes. With all the cafes around here, we can go to a different one every time and never have to repeat a place if we don't want to. We're really liking nearby Petone with its cute shops and easy parking. We had breakfast at Go-Bang-- I had poached figs (which looked like slugs) on muesli. It was good despite the slug-ness.


Our landlord thinks that it is somehow cost-effective to try and assess our 10-20 year-old tv to see if it's repairable. So we dropped that load off and was told it would take a few days to get fixed. (grr)

We had friends over for dinner-- we had tacos and made pumpkin pie. Ok pumpkin pie is sorta hispanic and goes with tacos; pumpkins were a New World discovery afterall right? New learning today: whipping the cream too much is NOT a good thing for pumpkin pie (but IS a good thing for butter).

I am feeling more and more at home each week now; I had no idea I was missing out on that feeling until recently. Bryce and I really have a routine going on the weekends which is really comfy. I think it all starts with a good breakfast. Out. :-)
