Holiday part two

The zoo was great. I'm used to zoo + school holidays = crowds, and if you add pandas to the mix? So I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was not many people, which meant we could get close to the animals. It was also great having a zoo you can walk around in a couple of hours and not feel exhausted afterwards. Don't get me wrong, I love Taronga zoo but sometimes it's just too much - too big, too many people, too far to come home at the end of the day. The kids had a great day, but the bubba was tired & cranky by 4 and the "I walk" was just not an option. So we were treated to a nice tanty! On the food front I made carrot & walnut muffins to bring packed with sourdough salad sandwiches, fruit leather, grapes, strawberries, cucumber, cheese, almonds and corn crunches. When I made the muffins I also made scones, which provided my eldest with afternoon tea for a couple of days. I love cooking and find it soothing and relaxing. I'm also loving the fact that I have time to cook. That's something I really miss working full time. Next post I'll do a quick run down on food I've made for dinner, markets I've been to and what I'm stocking up on to take home.
