Spring Time Pizza Feast

So I was supposed to be taking photos of the moon for a kinda group assignment but the clouds were shocking and I waited and waited and waited. Stuff it, I went to bed!
But when I awoke in the morning with my camera and tripod still set up outside, this is what I captured, the best sunrise ever! and so warm already that I could go outside and dance in it. Ah we had plans for the day but alas, all that beauty had to be hiding something right??? Rain!!

A nice spot of rain to potentially ruin the pizza lunch we had organised, so I didnt dwell, I got my camera out instead and photographed droplets of pure magic on old spider stomping grounds.

like water suspended in air

I told Indi that this is how fairies washed their faces in the morning, can you feel it???

this one is for the really dirty fairies!

So while it rained and we still had people coming over, I decided to bake after math cookies, so when you wind down a visit with the last tea you present the giant jar with the enormous cookies, it always impresses, It does suck that you cannot really see how large this jar is!  The cookies are as big as my hand so that must give you some idea! It is big and they are yum, so yum that I never cook any other cookies now, its just not worth it, nothing measures up.  I may share the recipe with you someday!

The rain slowed to a drizzle so we lit the fire and got the pizza oven ready, this is actually the first time we have used our oven in the daylight, its always an annoying night time feast, day is waaaay better.

SO the kids help me get the toppings ready, capers, chillies, olives, salami, feta, mushrooms, fresh artichoke, onion, bacon and cheese cheese cheeese!

we make a huge batch of dough and start creating pizzas for our guests

this is before, look how healthy that is

during, rain rain go away!

its ready, ohh drooll  yum yum

and after!, someones favorite food!

and her dads too, Im more of a vege girl, need something runny or fresh.

I did gross our visiters out by making a lentil pizza with last nights dahl, it had feta in too , it was pretty special in a very gross looking kinda way. But it was yum...honest! ; )

After all the pizza was done we put some italian mussels into the oven.  Whats special about these is that they come from the farm where our exact mussels spat is sent to.  (if no idea what Mussel Spat is please see THIS post)   SO at a very early stage in their lives, these mussels have passed thru my hands or heard me talking at least.  It was very yummy to be reunited.

like long lost friends!

Very yummy indeed!

All in all a wonderful afternoon.

If you want to see how we made our pizza oven from junk we had and natural resources from all around and completed it for just $18 then have a look HERE.  As long as you have a group of 10 people, the whole thing is created in a very fun day!

God those mussels look yum!

In other news, missy pants has started her little school and lurves it, I cried the first day she skipped off with out me, her happily swinging feeling free, me blubbering in the car because Im a dumb mother who wants time to her self again!  Dont worry, by the next day I was fine!

She is going 3 days a week and Im hoping this leaves a lot more time for blogging and making things for my etsy store and having dinner prepared for once and a clean house! Ha ha ohh the dreams! we will see, the balance is just reshaping at the moment, Im sure I will get there.

And to finish off probably the highlight of my very sick week, cough, cough, cough.. is that I have a new cup!  I know, I know its amazing right?

They are plastic (gasp) but Im about to confess to the herbal world, that I love nothing more than a good plastic cup, I cannot stand drinking from glass, unless its wine!

but this cup, ohh drool, the curves are so smooth and it feels amazing to hold and its big and dense and its PURPLE and ohh so comfortable to drink out of and the water just tastes better and its PURPLE!!!!! Can you hear me!!! its PURPLE.

$5 each from the Warehouse. I am in love.

I think I hear angels singing  "aaaahhhhhhhh'

thats how good it is!

So have you Found a new obsession lately???
something that is so small and consumer driven wrong but just ohhh so right??
Time To Confess!
