I'm definitely not a Masterchef in the kitchen, but these adorable retro appliances really could put me in the right mood to cook up the best dishes. I love all things retro. I'm definitely putting all these in my wishlist.

So, being inspired by today's post, I'm whipping up the best meal for hubby and sister (vacationing with us) tonight.

Tonight's menu will all be courtesy of Aussie diva chef, Donna Hay.

Since it's rainy and cold (it's winter!) I am starting off with a great soup. I've tried this before and it's very easy to whip up. The steaks are fairly easy to make too. =)

Creamy Mushroom and Chive Soup

Steak with Red Wine and Cherry Tomato Sauce

Passionfruit Souffles

Easy peasy! I can already see me cooking! Have a great day ahead! =)

Gadget and Stuff : Pink Food Spork

In elementary school I used to take lunch with me from home, and sometimes in a large container. Now, once in a while I still do take lunch from home, to work. Seeing this cool piece, a Pink Spork, I would not have to think about carrying a separate spoon and fork. This would do! This interesting piece, Light My Fire’s Spork costs AUD 4. It actually is more than a spork as you can see on the side of the fork it’s got a bit of a knife! How brilliant is that?! It is made in heat resistant plastic that would not warp in boiling water. Although this invention is mainly intended for camping, I am sure I wouldn’t mind having one in my lunch pack.

My Chocolate : Max Brenner Chocolate Powder

Every piece of me loves chocolate. I do prefer milk chocolate over white or dark, but on any day I would just want to have a bit of something chocolatey sweet. This Max Brenner Chocolate Powder would be the best sprinkle to my hot chocolate during the winter months, and the best sprinkle to my cold chocolate drink during the summer months. I know I am a chocoholic at heart and I cannot deny, I am wanting to purchase this Max Brenner powder costing AUD 16.50. It will not last that long in my household I know, but at least I know I've loved every powder grain of it! It comes in Milk, Dark or White Chocolate. What is your pick? I know what's mine!
