Food = Favourite.

I love food. Eating it, cooking it, reading about it, sharing it...

My family connects through food, whether it's a simple meal at home, a Yum Cha or a High Tea, we come together to eat and catch up on what's happening in our lives. I love that food brings us together. 

One of my favourite movies is 'Mostly Martha'. It's a wonderful German film that is based around food. It's a perfect example of food bringing people together. It's a simple dish of pasta that changes the lives of Martha, Mario and Lena, bringing them together, and helping Lena start to heal after the death of her mother. Not only is the story wonderful, watching the preparation of the food is just beautiful.

I'm afraid.

Sonnet 116.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments: love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

A not so Semi-Permanent mother...

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day. I have no idea how, but my four week old managed to buy me a great card and the awesome Semi-Permanent 2009 Book. He knows me so well after only a short time together : )

I'm one lucky mother. Don't worry, I won't go too mushy on you.

We heart Zooey.

Pretty sure I have a girl crush on Zooey Deschanel. Not only is she gorgeous and a marvelous actress, she can belt out a mean tune as well. I've been listening to She & Him, a collaboration between Deschanel and M.Ward, non stop. The tunes are sweet and whimiscal, yet involved and emotional. The whole album has a bit of a 60's twang to it, with Deschanel's quirky charm running through every track. Although Zooey's vocals are undoubtedly the star, M. Ward lends his musical talent to all tracks, his rough and rusty vocals give an edge a few of the mesmerising tracks.  I'm in love with this album.

Ponies and stuff.

I think we all know how much I love ponies. This morning I stumbled across Will Bryant's blog my love for you is like a stampede of horses.  Probably one of my favourite blogs, its not only inspiring but has the word "horses" in its title...hello? could anything be more perfect for me?

Incu

Incu have just released their Autumn/Winter 09 Look book. I am absolutely in love with Patrick McGreal's photography genius on this slice of fashion heaven.

With labels such as Acne, Commes des Garcon, Bassike, Alexander Wang and Nom de Guerre, Incu really is one of Sydney's finest shopping destinations.

If you live in Sydney and can pop into one of the stores you should definitely pick up a copy of the Look book. The photography is divine, yet simple. If you're not in Sydney you can view the Look book here.
