I planned to spend heaps of time in the kitchen but it didn't eventuate after all of the Christmas baking.<br /><br />Blog amnesty week - what a great idea! I was planning a similar thing but hadn't given it such a great name. There are a few drafts I need to complete, most are meals that I make regularly. It doesn't feel right that they are unblogged.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80772174653305831312012-01-09T08:24:11.704+11:002012-01-09T08:24:11.704+11:00One of these days, Johanna, one of these days. . ....One of these days, Johanna, one of these days. . . !!! ;)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-86823096806542769962012-01-09T03:48:40.364+11:002012-01-09T03:48:40.364+11:00Your muffins sounds so good & tempting to me! ...Your muffins sounds so good & tempting to me!

I like the look of these muffins even though I'm not fond of cheese - they look like they might lend themselves to cheese-less adaption. Your beach visits also remind me of the aspects I do enjoy about the beach, and the shade cloth and playground at the first are great innovations (no shade cloth at Perth beaches, regrettably). I'm now looking forward to your amnesty week of posts!<br /><br />PS. We watched the Christmas Dr Who just this week and loved it :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-88709742182251800372012-01-07T14:56:44.857+11:002012-01-07T14:56:44.857+11:00What a great way to spend vacation. . .
