Nissan Datsun Nationals 2013 - Cowes- Philip Island

Whilst enjoying the coastal views at Kilcunda we decided to drop over to Philip Island and have a little "drive around". We headed towards Cowes, more precisely the bakery for a hot cross bun and a coffee. Parked the car, enjoyed our hot cross buns and then wandered down the street towards the foreshore. There was a decent crowd wandering in that direction and as we rounded the corner, we could see why. There were cares lined up on both sides of the road, all shiny and chromed. Plenty of spectators with their heads under the uplifted bonnets and lots of chit chat about cars that went completely over my head. I know nothing about what's under the hood, other than to check the water and oil, and I know where the petrol goes and how to change a tire. That's about it. Anyway, a notice on one car windscreen window read: 2013 Nissan Datsun Nationals. So therefore the cars were Datsun's, I suppose. Anyway they all looked good, so we wandered up and down and pretended to know what we were looking at under "the hood", and enjoyed it just the same.

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

My Favourite Recipe Book for Slices -The Australian Women's Weekly Little Squares & Slices

Well I can only tell you that baking was boring and uninteresting before by dear sister-in-law introduced me to this wonderful cookbook. The Womens Weekly Little Squares & Slices. The easiest, tastiest and some are even healthy little treats that you can make, encourage you to bake for kids fairs, church fundraisers etc. A few of them even freeze well, so I have a day where I cook up the freezable ones. Then I leave an assortment of (usually cook 3) them in a cake tin on our kitchen table (the gathering and eating place) and freeze the rest cut and ready to go with baking paper between the layers. That way I just take out a little of each at a time (there's only hubby and I at home now) and we don't "pig out" on them before the slice goes stale. It's also handy when friends/family drop in unexpectedly as you can go to the freezer and take some out and in about 5 mins they are ready to eat, depending on the slice. My favourite to freeze is chocolate ca...
