Bésame Mucho

 
 
My favourite Mexican restaurant... La Tortelleria in Kensington!

  
 
Once I find a nice place to eat at, I reakly enjoy revisiting the place everyone once in a while.
 
The pork and pineapple tacos are so delicious and don't get me started on the birria sauce! I seriously need to learn how to make it, it is the absolute best part of the meal.

 
 
On this day, it was very cold so my mum and I rugged up in warm coats. This fluffy, leopard coat always comes in handy.
 

 
 
I can never leave this place without enjoying the orange flan.  
 
It is so creamy, sweet and delicious, I savour each bite. Later in the week, I had to try making it myself!


 
 
I think that is one of the best things about eating out. You try new foods and get inspired to make something different to what you might usually make.
 
What have you been up to / cooking this week?

    That looks absolutely delicious Jess, and well done on trying to recreate the orange flan!
    I haven't been doing much cooking lately, preferring to leave it in the much more capable hands of my husband :-) xxx

    You look very cosy in your leopard coat and I love the sign for the restaurant, very Frida-esque!
    One of the many joys of travel is eating the local food. I don't know much about Mexican food, I've only had it a few times and the restaurants here tend to be chains not like the lovely place you visited.
    I can't remember the last time I cooked anything, I leave all that to Jon! xxx

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob...

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolu...
