New Tunes To Share

Ooooh ~ The rain is falling and I must admit I am quite ready for the coolness of autumn, my very favourite time of year. I think these new tunes are quite befitting of my mood, slightly dark and brooding, inspiring layers and fire and red wine... 


I particularly love the fact that the third track, 'Beat and the Pulse' by Austra falls under the newly created genre of WitchHouse (Pitchforks creation) ! I think it sounds quite witchy indeed! 

The second track, Lykke Li's I Follow Rivers is one that has been hammered on BFM, but it has slowly penetrated my mind with its hauntingly beautiful underwater sounds. 

And in first place today is the deliciously caramel vocal magic of Mayer Hawthorne, Green Eyed Love remixed by Classixx. The original was amazing but this is just sooo warm and bouncy and rolling in velvet blankets! Mmmmmmmm!

These decidedly dark tracks  will be featuring on my next autumn/winter mix tape.... enjoy my lovelies xo

New Tunes To Share...

Mixing it up a wee bit today. We have a beautiful folktune by the lovely Emily Jane White, combined with the dusky, dark and sexy beats of the very talented Jamie Smith (the XX) and lo and behold, whats that?? We also have a BEYONCE cover this week (What the??)- beautifully reworked by CEO. Enjoy! Will keep up from now on and remember to change tracks each week! MmmmmWah!

Things I've Made; December...

Happy New Year you lovely people!! Hope this new year brings you all that is wondrous and bright!
I myself had a very relaxed and tranquil evening with good friends, great food and delightful music - We went and shared a meal with our lovely friends Gina and Shane and their friends, D and Patrice for the new year celebration.
Had so much fun preparing the food for the evening; following my beautiful friend, Em's, gorgeous Strawberry & Lemon-Thyme Tart, I made a slightly altered version using a muffin tray (although we lived to regret this decision; Brendan spent 15 minutes trying to bash them out of their molds!) 
Although the casings were slightly crumbly these little beauties went down a treat and I felt very proud that I had made something so pretty and delicious for our lovely friends! I chose the option of smearing marscapone over the casing before adding the strawb compote and we also lavished them in softly whipped cream. AMAZING!! 
Em, you are such a talented woman! I'm forever telling people to check out your amazing recipes - hope you enjoy my little photo story!! Mucho Aroha Babe! :-) xo

Also made my very own first ever batch of Aioli - Of course following Mums tradition of using the lovely Annabel Langbein Aioli Recipe. Gave this one to Gina and Shane; Hope they love its smooth creamy goodness - so naughty but so essential!! 

Also thought I'd better update all the crafty things that I have made as gifts for Christmas, but realised that this will have o wait as i haven't actually given people these gifts yet! Will add pics and links later :-) 

Peas be with you all this new year! Arohanui till next time xoxoxox
