Remember how I mentioned I didn't like Yee Sang? Well, we did eat it from a packet so I guess I wasn't giving it a fighting chance. We stopped in at Monk and Me on Monday night, to find that they're serving yee sang on a special Chinese New Year menu until 8 Feb this year!Monk and Me9...
Yee Sang Family TossHappy New Year! I hope everyone's celebrations have been super-fun! In a super-lucky coincidence for us Aussies, Chinese New Year fell on Australia Day this year.

These Christmas Puddini Bonbons were so cute, and sweet, and delicious, that I've decided they deserve their very own post. From (again), Nigella Christmas, they seemed like a good way of using leftover Christmas pudding, and, I thought, would make a cute addition to our post-Christmas BBQ.

We had a post-Christmas BBQ at mine on the Saturday 27th December. I'd been meaning to have one beforehand, but the weather had been a bit crap, and it...
