We've been meeting some nice new people with David sometimes writing an instalment of Home Cook in the Courier Mail. Here's John Beasley from Beenleigh with some beautiful smoked chorizo sausages. Check out his smoker in the background - an old washing machine with a big pipe delivering the smoke from his smoking woodchips below. It works beautifully and we loved the salmon too! Here's another great story from David about finger limes http://www.couriermail.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/ian-douglas-has-his-fingers-on-the-pulse-of-the-latest-native-food-fad/story-e6frer4x-1225850226015
My Year Two's love our new science topic - Schoolyard Safari. We snapped this plover checking out some new spots for her next nest. We were amazed at the number of live creatures we found in our beautiful playground. 
I was lucky on my last trip to Tasmania to find Margaret Fulton's Cookbook at the Penguin markets. Here's my first dessert - Tarte au Pommes. Very grand name for apple tart! It's a nice recipe.
We love bush orchids that flower every April in our backyard. We tied them to our palm trees 12 years ago and they multiply every year.
Here's the Cottage Garden Nursery cafe at East Brisbane. I had an amazing mushroom ragout there last Sunday morning for breakfast. Chris Einem, the lovely proprietor of the cafe is planning to move to a nice premises next door to start up his new cafe Egg Bistro. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
