I just cut this perfect looking avocado for lunch and thought about the Australian health campaign that advertises to consume avocados.And they are just great! (Not only because of the alliteration) Did you know that Avocados contain a high amount of the carotenoid called Lutein? Lutein has an antioxidant effect that can protect your skin from sunburns. Avocados also contain Vitamin E, which helps your skin's general health. Vitamin E increases the growth of new skin cells. So Avocado is the ultimate skin care you can put in your daily meal! I personally adore them and eat them regulary, yoghurt- like with a spoon right out of the skin. Austrian people may give me a disconcerted glance and my boyfriend rather describes it as "typical womens' food", but it's one of my favourite habitsI broght from my stay in Australia. They are also great on toast, with salmon and in salad. To see more recipes: http://www.avocado.org.au/

Ther's nothing better than enjoying cold air and a warm campfire on a winter evening

A very sunny day in winter...

This year, my mum put much effort into decorating the house and cooking. This should get some credit here.
