A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That......

Marion and I both bake for our local cafe. Marion makes lovely cakes, biscuits/cookies and quiches whilst I make the slices. Yesterday I received a phone call to say that they were needing their usual 3 slices. I make them in large portions and they cut them to the size they require.
A Caramel Nut slice, Lemon Ripe slice and a Cherry Ripe Slice - they all need their chocolate toppings still - white chocolate for the Lemon Ripe and dark chocolate for the other two. School holidays have started here so the boys are enjoying not getting dressed quite as early. N wanted to trick his Uncle Andrew who lives in Ohio, so here he is still in his pyjamas with the umbrella up - but in our covered pergola. Photo editing does a wonderful job!
And I have been tagged by Julie. Rules of tagging: I need to disclose 7 random things about myself and then nominate 7 others to tag!
1. I sat for my driver's learner permit and driver's test all on the same day - my 16th birthday - and passed.
2. I have just received my first speeding fine, 30 years later (now you know how old I am!)
3. When my husband told me before we were married that he owned a property in New Zealand I thought I was marrying someone rich - but no, it was a small one bedroom flat.
4. I like eating a lot of hot foods - cold - eg meat pies, lasagne etc - I think you can really taste the flavours better when they are cold.
5. I love winter
6. I like going to bed early and getting up early before anyone else so that I can have a cup of tea or coffee and check my emails in silence.
7. I don't talk much - but then with friends like M and K, I don't get much of a chance anyway!!
And the 7 people that I am going to tag are: Pattie, Amanda (while you are on Amanda's blog have a look at the fabulous apron that she made as a birthday gift - her embroidery is gorgeous),Miss Muggins, Chrissie, Monica, Kirsty, Nette/Michelle.
Hope you've had a lovely weekend.

Christina, is there no end to your talents!! What fabulous looking slices. Thank you for tagging me but you know what - I am such a boring person, I would be hard pressed to find seven things of any interest to write about myself so will leave that to the 'more interesting' folk :)
