The Autumn weather has been kind to us so far, the nights are getting cooler, bed is getting more comfier and the days are shorter but the days themselves have been beautiful. A few of us had a trip to Kings Park last Sunday for a friends 21st birthday at Synergy Parkland, it was sooo good! It was just nice to relax and laze around the park like 'normal' people and forget our uni studies for a while. We played frisbee and football and joined the hundreds of families having BBQs and enjoying each others company. It is definitely something that should be done more often whether we are celebrating someones' birthday or not :)
Thankfully this week we were still able to have ANZAC day off. The night before i had a lovely dinner at Sorrento restaurant in North-bridge with the Karatamoglous and Dorkhams from Bunbury. I have to admit it took me 50 minutes to find the place after i took a wrong turn and ended up going North on the Freeway!! But once there we had a lovely time chatting and of course people watching for those unique individuals who wear leopard suits on a Tuesday night! I had a nice time :) But it did mean i got back late and didn't make it to the dawn service this year. Instead i ended up going to the Fremantle Service with my flatmate Emma (who was hunting for a man in uniform!). It was a nice sized service and so nice to see lots of families on the Espanade getting involved. It was quite funny hearing the music, everyone was hunting for the band until these 2 ladies rounded the corner with a rickety speaker on wheels... don't worry Freo your reputation is still safe with me! :P
I also made some weetbix-banana and date muffins from a recipe i found on Taste.com! I didn't have beaters but improvised a little which made them a little too dense but still tasty! I will make them better next time though :)
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 4 Weet-Bix
- 185ml (3/4 cup) milk
- 2 eggs
- 80g (4 tbs) margarine
- 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour, sifted
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped dates
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Grease a 12-hole muffin pan. Mash bananas in a bowl, then crumble in Weet-Bix and stir in the milk.
- Set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs and margarine, then add to the banana mixture. Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl and add wet ingredients and choc chips.
- Stir until just combined, then spoon into muffin pan and bake for 25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Yum! :)
