It is the last day before school goes back for Term 3. Sylvia and I had a lazy morning playing with our food. Smoothie bowls are so much fun! Because we have Christmas in July on our minds we decided to do red and green smoothie bowls. Double the fun!
We decided we needed the smoothies thick for the toppings to sit on but mine was thin no matter what I did. I think my mistake was to start off with too much milk. Most fun was using a spoon to drop dots of Sylvia's red smoothie and dragging a skewer through to make leaf shapes.
Sylvia did more planning than me and placed her decorations on the plate, I would advise that. She also made a kiwi fruit flower that looked cute on her bowl. And she put in lots of ice and frozen fruit so hers was more slushy and held her decorations better. After her photo she tipped some of my green in and marbled it. I did the same with her red smoothie.
We are going slow this morning but have lots to do. My bread has been slowly rising, my kombucha need decanting, the house needs cleaning and I got to get onto the
Spoonsville craze. Plus I have plans to make a fruit cake for Christmas in July - not sure if I will get to share it this year but I have been taken by the
Insiders Mike Bowers idea of corona virus baubles on a Christmas tree. Stay tuned....

Your lazy morning with Sylvia sounds wonderful, i'd love to be playing with my food but have a couple of distractions this w/e, that my w/e and coming week are reserved. So i will put on hold looking into the Spoonsville craze. Your Smoothie bowls are stunning and I am very much looking forward to reading about your Christmas in July shenanigans.
