Happy Waitangi day! Originally I was to go to Barry Curtis with some friends but then someone told us the celebration had been moved so we cancelled. I booked a shopping day with my family instead and while we set out in the afternoon, there was the gala at Barry Curtis. 

Nevertheless, I needed to go shopping anyways and had fun. Above was what I wore today.

I saw my old math teacher at the supermarket. We had a little chat before both our family ditched us.

 Dad picked yum cha for lunch as my family was too lazy to drive home for lunch.

 It's inevitable, my siblings and I will go through a 'chubby chapter'. I remember when I was around 9-10 I was  tragically chubby before hitting my growth spurt to be awkwardly lanky. When Johnny was around 9-11 he was also, tragically chubby but now hitting his growth spurt to be even taller than me. Winson is entering this stage in his life and his clothes are starting to fit him funny. I purposely left his tummy out of this picture.

Johnny hates photos but I snapped a good one of him, though he forbid me to upload it. So I uploaded half of it...

Tried a new drink.

 Only the French.

 

 I bought some ingredients for a recipe I saw in the papers.

Watermelon pizza! I know a lot of people might find this a little freaky, god knows my mother did (she hates cheese) but it looked so good in the Bites article (it comes with your Herald newspaper). I assure you it taste good. I don't think I'd guarantee my left leg that everyone will like it but it's not bad, I found nothing wrong with it.

I won't make this again as the ingredient wasn't extremely convenient as my family doesn't usually have proscuitto laying around but I would recommend others to have a go. Pretty easy to make, watermelon, proscuitto, tomato, feta, basil (I used something else), pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil (I used balsamic olive oil).

Those who aren't convinced, watermelon has a very faint taste, it's not super sweet or sour, to eat it with those other things are like eating a salad but having something crunchy with it. So don't worry about the taste not mixing well.

If this still looks freaky to you, try making a salad with the above without the watermelon first. Then chop the watermelon in cubes and adding it in, it looks more like a salad that way. Or just leave the watermelon on the side.

P.s if this isn't something for you, that's cool, move on.

 Some really quick sketches.

 This one took a little longer.

 I added water colours and tada.

 I'm not a huge fan of fruit smoothy but I saw a recipe for a watermelon and orange drink and thought I' give it ago as I like orange juice and like I said before watermelon doesn't have a strong taste. I added sprinkling water with the drink and it was too diluted but other than that it tasted great.

Some things I picked up today.

That is all from me before I get ready for school tomorrow. Goodbye lovelies.
