Etsy and Olive Oil...

A few weeks ago, I was out shopping with a friend and we discovered this store called Oil and Vinegar.  The week after, my husband and I went to check it out together to sample and choose some dips and oils.  We both love the simplicity of dipping fresh bread into some tasty olive oil, with or without additions like dukka.  We tried quite a variety of flavours, and purchased some rosemary cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, and it has been absolutely delicious with some crusty sour dough bread!

I love this hand painted oil bottle by Yevgenia on Etsy with the pretty red cyclamen.  I like this as a different way to use the olive oil!

Another lovely item from Yevgenia is this ceramic tea or coffee cup which is a great ecofriendly way to have your morning cuppa!

Anyway, I hope you are all having a great day!  I have the afternoon off from work, so I'm off to enjoy a cuppa tea outside in this beautiful crisp weather, cook a vegetarian curry for tea, and snack on fresh bread and my rosemary olive oil!  Mmmm! :)

Retro stovetop coffee

I'm listening to some retro music (think Burt Bacharach!) and chanced upon this retro stovetop coffee machine on homelife. This is a seriously cool piece of hardware.

{Amy} Best coffee...ever

You are looking at the best coffees...ever. I mean this is how a coffee should be, it's the perfect temperature, the perfect frothiness of milk and the perfect flavour.

My husband and I love the the Pioneer Coffee Roastery in Yandina, Sunshine Coast (Australia) and make it a point to visit as often as we can - like this Saturday just gone. The barista Tim is award winning as is their roasted coffee and I can guarantee you will have the perfect cup. Check out the photo below of Tim's latte art. Amazing - right?

Babycino

My sister and her family are staying with us this weekend and this morning we went out for coffee together. I thought that my little nephew was so cute with his babycino I had to take a photo. Just gorgeous!
