Kyla is now officially a teenager!

Well, we are now the proud parents of our very own teenager.
For her birthday this year, Kyla chose to have Sammie and Mikaela come over, and the three of them spent the afternoon/evening cooking a fantastic meal consisting of 3 courses from the Masterchef NZ and Australia cookbooks.
I know that Kyla is planning to blog about the meal, so I will not spoil that by giving details here. I will remind
her to blog about it soon. Suffice to say, the meal was fantastic, and we are hugely impressed that 3 girls can cook Masterchef food with very little or no assistance! Bookings open soon. :)

Once again we had a family gathering to
celebrate Mother's day/Kyla's birthday/Jayna's birthday. As usual it consisted of lots of fun and good food with a liberal dosing of noise. I made a birthday cake for Kyla and Jayna to share, shaped as a lap pool, due to their shared love of swimming.

Daryl and Kyla made dessert, which was the Croquembouche from the Australian Masterchef cookbook. It was a fantastic effort, and tasted amazing. They are so clever! Due to difficulties in sourcing a Croquembouche cone, a traffic cone (legally purchased) was used. It works really well, so if you ever need to borrow it, just ask!
