In protest to the up and coming winter and to compliment the bright and sunny beachy goodness of the previous post, we thought we'd share some of our other fave beach event decor images thanks to Green Wedding Shoes, Ruffles and Atmosphere Events. Notice the lack of fishbowls sitting on a mirror & filled with floating frangipanis!
This is the very clever invite from our friend Alicia of Akimbo to the wonderful Wine & Cheese night she held with her man to celebrate their birthdays over the weekend. We Loved the spread she did & she even picked up some amazing amazing ash chevre from the central markets!! (nice one!) When in Adelaide & wanting to celebrate or even just enjoy some fabulous fresh food of any description... number one hot tip - hit up the Central Markets!! We are also very spoilt here in Adelaide with some of the best wine in the world on our doorstep, so needless to say the vino was nothing short of fantastic either... But one of our most favourite details of the night was what had been done with some recycled wine bottles (courtesy of a local restaurant) and taper candles... have a look at how repeating a simple element en masse can create a sensational backdrop - not to mention some great ambient light and a decent amount of warmth for a cold autumn night. Enjoy your weekends!
& there has been a lot of excitement and progress in the lives of m&g recently that we will want to share. M has moved houses! & G has been conquering the paperwork so that we're ready for end of financial year... bah! But mostly... we are looking forward to sharing some of our ideas and inspirations for the upcoming events we have booked! Weddings, Babys Showers, & a Cosmetics Launch Party are just some of the amazing and fun projects we are working on right now. See you soon!!
Preparation time 5 mins Cooking time 10 mins Serves 10 large pancakes or approx 18 pikelets
Ingredients
1 Cup Self Raising Flour
3/4 Cup Milk
1 Egg
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon to taste
2 Ripe Bananas
Pinch of Salt
Butter
(Honey & Vanilla Ice cream for a treat!)
Method
Sift flour and combine flour, milk, egg, cinnamon, ½ banana (mashed) and pinch of salt until batter is smooth (it’s ok if there are some lumps from the squished banana).
Heat Frying Pan on stovetop to moderate heat, add knob of butter.
Slice remaining banana into pieces no thicker than ½ centimetre. Once butter is melted and has coated the surface of the pan, place desired number of banana slices (we suggest 3-5 for large pancakes, or if you’re making pikelets just the one slice for the centre of each pikelet) and pour/spoon batter to coat slices to desired pancake size.
Wait until the surface of the pancake starts to bubble and turn pancake to cook on other side. After each pancake is cooked, remove from pan and place on plate in low oven to keep warm and ready to serve.
When all pancakes are cooked, stack and plate with remaining fresh sliced banana, drizzle stack with honey add a scoop of ice cream and dust with cinnamon... ENJOY!
