Home Made Bread and a Festival in Cairns

Yum nothing better than home baked bread, and it always smells delicious!  Here in Cairns the weather is starting to warm up now, and everything is rather dry. I'm at university now studying so although the finances are a bit tight for now there is light at the end of the tunnel. .....which was a bit dark for a while there.
I had forgotten about my wonderful bread making machine which thankfully does the hard part of breadmaking for me; and today I got it out and made some beautiful milk bread and bread rolls. They smell divine when taking them out of the oven and are beautiful with simple butter and jam, or butter and vegemite and a cuppa! Yum.
Tonight I suspect we will have, bread rolls with homemade pumpkin soup.
I have been invited to be part of the Tropical Writers Festival in Cairns this week along with two other ladies who write blogs and live in the area. One is The Author of a blog called Foodvixen , which is a lovely foody blog about mostly local restaurants and coffee shops, and different food adventures. Here is a link: http://foodvixen.com/about/ . The other is a blog called A FIFO Wife which is journal of Debbie and her family, who are a FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) family.
