The weekend that was

Ohhh, my first post! Welcome.
Here's some highlights from my weekend spent in the good company of a friend from Wellington.
Saturday morning was spent at the French market in Parnell
La Cigale.
We had the most delicious Turkish delight. Nougat flavour was the best!

And on Sunday after a visit to the Annual Auckland Red Cross Book Fair, we went to the Alexandra Market which was an equally pleasing experience. Highlights included, handmade chocolates and a scrummy mushroom, parsley and truffle oil concoction which became the basis of that evening's 'gourmet' risotto.
Heavenly eating all weekend!



Wedding Update No. 1:
Also as our October wedding draws closer and closer the pressure is on to get the invites out, especially as most of our guests are travelling and will need to book accommodation. So we spent some time on Sunday evening hand-making about 60 pink envelopes.
More about weddings another day...
