Bernie's Delicious Lemon Balls
1 1/2 cups almond meal ( I blitz whole almond- cheaper )
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
3 tblsp maple syrup
juice 3 lemons
zest 1 lemon
1 vanilla pod, (or paste/ essence)
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
pinch salt
1 cup shredded coconut, for rolling
Pop all ingredient's ( except the coconut for rolling ), into a food processor, and blitz for 30 seconds.
Place teaspoon fills into your palm and roll into balls by hand, then roll in the shredded coconut.
Place on a plate in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm.
Store in the fridge or can be frozen.
Enjoy!
* You can experiment with the amount of time you blitz the ingredients, I prefer mine blitzed for longer, as it makes them taste like a nutty lemon mousse.

Nojito Time
Good morning Surfermums.
After a lovely luncheon yesterday in our gorgeous summer heat we all tried this mocktail and I believe it was just right.... Refreshing and tasty....a great cooling sipper.
Now the Nojito is also called the Virgin Mojito.. But I thought the Nojito was far more amusing when celebrating a birthday when we're all trying to remember how old we are.... All agreed 20 something was the age only because this year I can reverse my age to a number with a two in front... :-)
So here it is..... The Nojito!!
Ingredients per glass
1 part Lime Juice
4 parts soda water
6 Mint Leaves
2 tsps Brown Sugar
Method:
Prepare in the glass or jug in our case.
Glass: Highball
Recipe:
Add the lime juice, brown sugar and mint leaves in a Highball glass.
Bruise or muddle a few mint leaves using a spoon or rolling pin (blunt end) so that their juice can get out.
Let this mix rest for a few hours for best results. (who has time for that!)
Fill the glass with ice and stir.
Top with Soda (or Sprite).
Add a twig of mint for decoration.
Enjoy...
Now who's going for a surf this morning.???? With or without our friendly Noah's Ark.....at Diamond.....

Watch this space!
There are some recipes on the way.
Now, don't get too excited too quickly as its only in the first stage of development...lets see if these surfermums can get their favourite recipes up on the blog. (My money is on Annie to post the first one ;)
Bel and Grommie have been cooking up the idea (get it?) of putting our favourite recipes out for the other surfermums to share. Surfermum gatherings are cause for envy and desire all over the region. When we get together we produce the most fabulous food - way better than any restaurant! Enough to make our husbands wish they could come on our surfermum weekends away. Now, that's sayin something, huh?

Cheese and baguettes
I really love Amsterdam - the canals, the cheese, the trams,the conveniently English speaking people. And everyone rides a bike so it's peaceful and clean.
Paris by contrast is quite gritty, although the sun was out for our visit so it was lovely. We all went to the top of the Eiffel Tower...I'm sure you are very proud of me as it was very high and very scary.
Check out this guy and his ball skills at the top of a pole at the Sacre Cour (the beautiful Sacred Heart church at the top of a hill overlooking paris).
