Okay, new kid on the block, Mueslie4Me impressed. Nice big servings and good shipping price. Yes, I’m a morning muesli gal, I need to try these all out!
My mix included figs… mm…
Breakfast-ilicious!
(All this warm muesli is upping my soy milk intake and thus my calcium. PLUS figs are full of calcium!)
The Federal Election will be held on August 21… so in the lead-up, I warn you, I may get all political on you, and post links, articles, videos and so forth that reflect my views. Consider it a getting to know me ;)
Backstory: Last week while I was off on sick leave, all hell broke loose over some comment at Chocolate Suze’s Blog… comments about Asians always taking photos of food and blogging them.
So, you can understand my amusement when I’m out for dinner with a mostly Asian group of friends at The Chairman & Yip, I pull out my camera to get a pic of the dishes, and one of the girls shrieks “argh! why are you doing that Asian thing? Taking photos of food! Stop doing that Asian thing!” Cue jokes about me being the whitest girl alive, and the only white gal at the table. And continue trying to take pics, which are clearly affected by low light and a few glasses of wine ….. ;)
It seems I was in Frankfurt on June 5… I’m getting there, I swear!! Frankfurt is manageable… I was only there 24hours!
Arrived in Frankfurt from Vienna on a morning flight, trained to the city and checked into a cheap hotel. Rish went for a nap, and I went for a walk…
The giant Euro is probably my strongest memory of Frankfurt, but let’s see what else comes flooding back as I look at my photos! It IS pretty impressive, though. In a nerdy way… [click to continue…]
Based on this taste.com.au recipe… We had an abundance of eshallots in the fridge, so google sent me to that recipe, and I changed it to: Ingredients (serves 4) 1/4 cup (60ml) peanut oil 6 green eshallots, chopped 1 (about 600g) pork fillet, thinly sliced 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 tsp finely grated ginger [...]
Mmm made the Banana cake again out of Go Dairy Free, this time making a double mix, the cake’s a bit bigger and I made a bunch of mini-muffins too, which I see Rish has been nibbling on this afternoon! And some Sunday Mutterings: Inception :: day Anticipation :: exhilaration Space :: the final frontier [...]
Please, don’t shudder in horror, but it was really quite nice – from the curry place at Westfield Kotara food court. Dahl and a vege curry with a garlic naan. The naan had nothing on the ones we used to make when we worked in the Indian restaurant through uni. The scars from the tandoor [...]
Yes, my birthday went well… how could it not when it starts with a box of roses from my mother delivered before work, and on my arrival home I get a bunch of Irises (purple! My favourite flower, yesm!) from a friend in Melbourne? :) One vase, think it works! After a dazed day at [...]
(Being my birthday, you’re obligated to de-lurk and comment! Do it!) Last year’s work cupcakes for my birthday. Hello Kitty! Okay, any notion I had of doing a 101 in 1001 is long gone, I can’t even WRITE a list, let along get started on one. So perhaps, 30 items before my 30th birthday will [...]
You are here. Trying to explain the geography of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie Late last year, The Del in Newcastle started a renovation and expansion to include a fancy new dining room. Initial impressions were not that great (such as an hour to get food, having to order at the counter for $30 meals and [...]
