One More Work Conference

Jeremy arrived home from Florida very early on Monday morning. He brought back a few American treats like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (have we really gone 18 months without them?) and some face creams for me that are literally half the price at home. He quickly got back into the swing of things, returning to work Monday afternoon and has been going strong ever since. We did have a few early nights as he adjusted to the jet lag.

Yesterday we decided to check out a French market in Parnell, which is the town next to ours. The market was great! We enjoyed samples of cheese, bread, dips and wine and then purchased some fresh veggies, hummus and bread. We enjoyed that while I cooked up a new recipe (Oven Roasted Salmon with Pesto) from the You Are What You Eat cookbook I got a the book sale a few months ago. To my excitement, after many kitchen disasters, the recipe worked and looked just like it did in the book!

We finished off the night watching the All Blacks beat the Wallabies, yay!

Jeremy left early this morning for another work conference. The one is for PwC New Zealand's managers and partners, so we'll at least be in the same country this time around!

How do you make pesto? Looks delicious, E!

Thanks! I cheated and bought some store made pesto dip. But, pesto is pine nuts, garlic, oil and basil - according to this recipe.
