Fantastic February

February disappeared in a blink of an eye. I am blaming that on the fact it was a short month, although I suspect it was just another speedy month. I know, I know, I say that every month ;)

And the end of the month means that it is time for one thing...another monthly recap!

Did you miss my previous monthly recap? You can check it out here:

• Jolly January

I started the month by reflecting on the year that was, and by making my 2011 goals.

I also found plenty of time to get out on my mountain bike, with some rides being longer than expected...

And others celebrating Valentines Day!

Triathlons were run...

And kayaks were paddled...

This month we also saw some fairly tumultuous weather. From heatwaves to pouring rain, we seemed to have it all. The hot weather was the perfect excuse to make an icy treat...

and spicy tofoodles…

While the cooler weather called for a slow roasted Sunday roast.

I realised, on reflection, that February was quite the baking month.

From raw vegan "baking"...

To indulgent chocolate tortes.

A first attempt at baking macarons...

And a more successful second attempt!

February also saw the return of the Mystery Box, with 8 ingredients being ticked off: spinach, watermelon, sage, anchovy, avocado, lemongrass, turmeric and rice flour.

You can follow links to the dishes created by clicking on the ingredient here.

Wowza - for a short month there seemed to be a lot going on in the BBB household. Here's hoping for a magical March! With quite a lot of travel and functions on the calendar already, its set to be a busy one.

What about you? Was your February Fantastic?

Happy Baking :)
