Muesli4Me – Now in Gluten Free
A week or so ago I received a sample of the new Gluten Free base from Muesli4Me mixed with a couple of my new awesome in my breakfast fruits – cranberries and figs, as I’d asked them if they were going to put out a GF base given the amount of people that have to have gluten free… such a market for them.
The Gluten Free base contains puffed millet, puffed rice, rice bran, sunflower seeds and roast buckwheat “for a delicious nutty flavor”. I should have had it with yoghurt (which I didn’t… ) which would have prevented the eeep it’s going to go soggy! issue. It tasted nice, just had to adjust the liquids accordingly with the puffs.
I also got to try their Go Crunchy base, which they list as “sweet and crunchy made from oats, almonds, pepitas, coconut, milk, sugar and vegetable oil” which it certainly tasted like! It’s a complete cereal in itself, though I’m sure the addition of your fave dried fruit would give you an added bonus… It would probably a sometimes breakfast food for me… delicious, but the sweetness induced guilt ;)
Sunday Brunch
Late, relaxed lunch on Sunday staying with Rish’s family.
Watch Ya Step
I spent the weekend in Newcastle. I didn’t fall down any large holes.
On Hunter St, Newcastle East
Thank you for that safety notice, Newcastle council workers.
(They should include similar ones to prevent oil spills!)
I hope this birdie didn’t get oily…
Meet Fred
As seen while reading about the Confidentiality Failures of the ACT Government over at the-riotact.com…
(I wonder how much Fred looks like this?)
Wattle and Rainbows
Off to Newcastle for a quick weekend trip. Hoping my innards are good to me, as I’ve not had a good couple of days in my guts and then my head… Just over so much right now… Maybe the coastal air and warmth will do me good.
Spring next week.
Bring it on.
(ps Stoked with the 12 Club tee that came from Threadless today!! THIS one is my last one… I have until Tuesday to decide if I renew or not for another year of tees)
MixMyMuesli – Muesli in a Tube
After an initial delivery mishap where the contents of the Goji Berry Antioxidant Mix were out of their container and my macadamialicious was swimming in it, I’ve now tried two mixes from mixmymuesli… yes another custom muesli company!
The Goji Berry Antioxidant Mix is a yummy sweet-tangy start to the day, with goji berries, cranberries and sultanas giving a sugar buzz…
Custom-mixed “macadmialicious”
I probably wouldn’t get macadamias again, they’re great for the mouthful they’re in, but for the rest of it, you have the rely on the other things… I think the slivered almonds might provide better nut value ratios!
The other morning I mixed the two together and got a better ratio of fruit to base for me than what’s in the Goji mix – too much dried fruit in the morning! meep!
I’ll point out the $1.99 flat delivery rate on the website and send you on your merry way :)

Unexpected Gifts
Aww. My dear not so little anymore sister ordered me some belated birthday presents off my Amazon Wishlist
I’m sure they will be making further appearances here as I get to read them and start making cookies and living like Jesus. Now I need a cookie jar to invade!
Simple Roast Chicken
I used these directions then covered in a herb mix I had. Simple and delicious!
Wine Tasting at Questacon
Science and wine, how could we say no to a wine tasting session and talks from Lark Hill Wines and Helm Wines at a place I haven’t been since I was 12 – Questacon? :)
Kuala Lumpur
Late night curry after clubbing
Okay. KL. What to do but eat? :) (oh or watch Rish eat when it gets too much for me!)
(Fittingly publishing this on Rish’s birthday! Happy Birthday dear! xx)
