I can't believe a whole week has already gone by since my little Lunch for Leukaemia fundraiser. The proceeds from the lunch and the bakesales totalled $523.25! When I started out, I guestimated that I'd raise approximately $200, thinking that I'd have 10 people over for lunch and ask them to donate $20 each. Well, the lunch got...
HedgehogLemon Slice - my favourite!Following the success of the charity cupcakes, but before the Lunch itself, Adri and I sold some slices to raise more money for the Lunch for Leukaemia. (Pics still to come!) We thought slices might sell a bit faster, as they could be sold for cheaper, requiring less commitment and thought from the consumer.Lemon...
Hello all!Well, I had my Lunch for Leukaemia charity luncheon today, and I must say it was a success! We had 13 people for the lunch itself, plus a few extras who popped in later for cake and to hoover up the leftovers. I can't show you any pictures yet as I'm having a few problems with my...
Inspired by my bleary-eyed reading of Cindy & Michael's blog this morning, I decided to break my week-long tranche of odd breakfasts (cheese croissants / tea / cookies / nothing) and fix myself some good old porridge from my massive jar of 5-grain-power-porridge.I usually have dark muscovado sugar and milk on my porridge, but this morning I decided...
As you may have noticed on my next to last post, I am currently trying to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation as part of their Lunch for Leukaemia month. My friend Adri kindly offered to help out in my quest, so we thought that she could raise some donations by selling cupcakes at her work.I baked a...
More deliciousness from this month's Delicious magazine...This soybean ragu is in the real fast food feature of the magazine. It immediately appealed to me, being reminiscent of all the tomato-based veggie soups I love so much. As a bonus, it looked hearty and chock-full of vegetarian protein and fibre. I've been eating a lot of meat recently and...

Yum Cha! Who stayed up late watching the Olypmics opening ceremony last night? I watched it over at a friend's house, up until 1:30 AM!!! We marvelled at the massive LCD screen and the incredible co-ordination of all performers, thought the little girl singing in the red dress was cute, if a bit psychotic, wondered WTF Sarah Brightman...
That Red Rooster Olympics TV ad with the "notice how well red goes with China" slogan is stupid. Everybody knows that Chinese people like Kentucky Fried Chicken the best. ...
***From the Archives*** As I've mentioned previously, I'm currently going through all my as-yet-unblogged photos in my photo archive.I see that I made these madeleines and chocolate mousse last year in November. It was the night after my work's Christmas party, and I was hideously hungover. The type of hungover where you feel so ill that you just...
Teriyaki Chicken Bento - $14.50(Unagidon in the background, $15)Sakura Japanese Restaurant91 KingswayGlen Waverley3150Last night, I went to see The X-Files movie, and my friend with the tickets was running late. We still needed dinner. (No, popcorn doesn't count). I went into the first nearby restaurant that had "TAKEAWAY" written on the window, and ordered and paid for an...
We were treated to an amazing meal of ossu bucco this week, made by my bro's girlfriend Su. (Hi SU!!!) The recipe is Tobie Puttock's, from the current (Aug 2008) issue of Delicious magazine, and also in his new book Italian Local. I haven't bought Delicious for a few months now; partly because of space issues, partly because...
