Melon and Cumin, in a cake?

My dear readers,

As another week edges to a close the summer has finally manage to show up for the show. I sit and review my diary, with it's lists of crossed out action points and contemplate the ever extending "to do" list ahead. With only 2 weeks left to the launch of Edesia Caterers I take a moment at the beginning of each day to push away the nerves, fears and doubts that I know if were allowed to absorb my day would only deter me from my work and in a milli second without notice I would be running around in circles like a little hamster in his cage, running and running, around and around on his little wheel, going ever so fast, as fast as his little legs can take him but ultimately not moving an inch in the process. I take the little hamster off his wheel and let him run, run around the room, out into the hall, up the staircase and down again with purpose, with intent, with direction and ultimately with reason and a sense of achievement because we all need to find our reason, our purpose, identify our personal achievements. And so begins my day with purpose, to finish the day with an achievement.

Yesterday saw the biggest leap in the construction of the website, the "look" was finalised (thank you HRH QR for assisting), Edesia's wording was finessed and visuals were uploaded, even my sis was impressed ...... until I showed her how simple it was to do :) if you ever want to build a website and like me are ignorant to the whole process get one from www.weebly.com The branding in general has been decided from the colours used to the look of the logo, which should all be finalised in the next few days ...... thank you Josie ;)

Now you know the old age saying "all work and no play makes xxxxxxx a dull boy" or something to those words, well quite frankly I couldn't agree more. So last night my friend Debi and I went to a gig and saw the coolest band I have seen in a long time. Their music is described as "space age gangster soul" and they are called "The Future Shape Of Sound". Not usually my kind of music but what really had it for me was this, their sound is original but most importantly they were really engaged, engaged with each other on stage, engaged with their music and engaged with the audience. You wanted to date the drummer, hangout with the female vocalist she was so cool, you wanted the lead male vocalist as your brother and the guitarist you'd be happy to introduce to your sister .... they were all so unique and true to their individual identities but combined they were ... The Future Shape Of Sound .... check them out on myspace.

Tomorrow I'm off to The Gluten Free show and am hoping for some real inspiration, it should be a treat and I'm aiming to pick up some good tips to share with you, in the form of a new kick ass recipe :) I did concoct a lemon and cumin creation a few days ago but it's not yet worthy of the Edesia stamp of approval and still needs finessing before I share with you any further ..... stayed tuned though :)

I hope you all have a purposeful day!!

so we'll catch up soon
