Saturday at the Ruth Pretty Cooking School.

On Saturday Rob and I went up the Kapiti Coast to attend the 'World famous in New Zealand' Chef, Ruth Pretty's Cooking School. http://www.ruthpretty.co.nz/ It was my Christmas Present from Rob but I think he enjoyed being served good food and wine without having to even pick up a knife or look for the corkscrew just as much as I did!!!! We are never going to become the next 'Jamie' or 'Gordon' but we do enjoy experimenting on our mates and have become very competitive in the kitchen. New Zealand has become a real 'foodies' heaven, great delis and coffee and, in my humble opinion, we produce some of the best Sauvignon Blancs and Rieslings in the world!!! I certainly enjoy carrying out comparative studies!!!
After the perfect day out eating,drinking and being entertained with stories from the very entertaining Ruth Pretty, we were in no fit state to drive back to Wellington so we borrowed our friends tent and camped at the beach in Otaki. We took our wetsuits and Boogie Boards.

Just in case we drink so much of the wine that we forget our names!!!
Come anywhere near this tent that it has just taken me 2 hours to put up and I will hurt you with my tent peg hammer
