From Wild Rooster Penshurst.
With a few Dark Choc coated mini rice cakes from Table of Plenty for ‘dessert’.
(I got a few packs of these for samples to snack on. Hard to stop at a few, especially the milk chocolate ones!)
What I needed after a long train trip from Newcastle.

Canberra’s RealChai have just released TWO new chai blends… Caffeine Free and White Christmas!
The Caffeine Free has a dandelion base rather than the black tea of the original. SOunds great for relaxing for those sensitive to caffeine!
The White Christmas contains white Chocolate, cranberries & nutmeg… oh yum! No sweetening required! (Get in quick for that, it’s limited!)
Bonus time! Order $20 or more worth of chai or other products from RealChai.com.au and use the code ‘Fiona’ to get a free teascoop! Score!

Ahh Vienna. Rish and I flew there straight from Frankfurt. We’d originally planned to spend time there with friends, but bag snatching and subsequent lack of passport put and end to that :(
We got some cheap flights to Vienna with Niki – a discount airline, where the hostesses wore pink hats and grey blazers, with skinny jeans and flats. Too cute! [click to continue…]

Dark chocolate coated Goji berries.
Yes, I spend too much time browsing the aisles at my local Woolworths. Especially the ‘Health food’ aisle, which consists of various gluten, dairy and sugar-free goodies just waiting to be tried. Here’s a few that I picked up recently at my local store…

So far, so good, anyway.
We may have a little victory in the search for a cane sugar-free, dairy free chocolate that doesn’t have a laxative effect or taste like ew.
Loving Earth produce a range of raw chocolate bars that are dairy-free dark chocolate and sweetened with Agave syrup. They’re vegan and also gluten free. Oh and fair trade cocao, but made in Australia. Sweet.
I shared an almond bar with my workmates this afternoon, who all approved, and were also happy for me ;) I’ll try the others at some point (I have the lucoma and maca one to take to my eight hours of uni on Sunday. I think I’ll need it!) but even if there’s only one awesome flavour, it’s a great start!
(available online, or from various health food stores in Australia, NZ, Malaysia, Japan and Israel, apparently!)

On the quest to till be able to eat yummables without nasty things happening inside of me, I’ve been trawling the “health food” aisles… can’t do health food stores yet, aisles will be my starting point.
There is so much out there now for gluten free! A few years ago when I’d heard of such a thing as Coeliac’s Disease after having a friend and a relative diagnosed with it, and earning how to eat with them, it was all specialist stuff, now you’ll even find gluten free products alongside the ‘regular’ floured stuff…
My eyes were looking for anything that was dairy-free or vegan (because then i KNOW there’s nothing complicated hidden down the label).. and I managed to find a sugar-free chocolate bar :)
The Sweet William “I’m Sweet Enough” bar…
It does, however, have Maltitol in it which, according to Wikipedia is a “sugar alcohol”… which is large doses could unfortunately have a laxative effect. Not one side effect I need right now!
Anyway. I’ve eaten half the bar (25g) and so far so good on the stomach front… It also tasted reasonable. Not as yummy as anything from the Lindt Cafe but better than missing out on chockies altogether! :)
