Sunday sushi making...

♥ Ceri makes...  spent the afternoon at a sushi making class at Suzu in West London,  a birthday treat from RWF.  Despite having a copy of the Yo Sushi cookbook I hadn't been brave enough to ever attempt making any!  So I was pleased to give it a go under the careful guidance of our teacher Makiko.  Her tops tips included wrapping your bamboo rolling matt in clingfilm and making sure that your hands are a little greasy,  we used grapeseed oil for this in the class.  Another essential is a super sharp knife as the nori can be quite tricky to cut through,  but this is also made easier by using a sawing like motion when cutting.  After making a selection of maki,  nigiri and inside out rolls we enjoyed the results with some yummy plum wine. 

It really did taste as good as it looks!

Christmas Crafts...

♥ Ceri makes...  led my very own mini craft lesson at RWF's abode in Fulham yesterday.  I created mini craft kits for RWF, Grace and Sophie to create their own handmade Christmas decorations.  Sophie and Grace busy crafting...

After some festive food we wrapped up and headed out to Carols by Candlelight at the Royal Albert Hall.

A perfect pre-Christmas weekend!

Afternoon tea anyone...?

♥ Ceri makes...  as you may know afternoon tea is definitely high up in my list of favourite weekend things to do!  While in Cardiff with the girls at the weekend Rachel booked (a very popular spot, so booking recommended!) us in for a spot of afternoon tea at the Waterloo Gardens Teahouse. 

A delicious selection of sandwiches,  scones,  a slice of cake from the rather impressive selection and of course tea were served.  An absolute bargain for £11.50 per person!

Ten out of ten to Waterloo Gardens Teahouse.

Betty's Tea Rooms Rock...

♥ Ceri makes... made my annual December trip to York for a weekend of Christmas themed family festivities with mummyB, my aunties and cousins. One activity that has securely sealed it's place on our weekend to do list is the Saturday brunch trip to Betty's tea rooms. Delicious...

A must do if you are ever in York, but do be prepared to queue!
