Happy weekend everyone! I have actually been meaning to get this post up for a week, but being out of the house for 4 out of 5 nights last week really threw any kind of routine out the window. Between training for my volunteering opp, pole dancing & Valentine’s Day, come Friday night I was one tired girl. I’ve been in training all weekend and now have another week of work ahead, so I am REALLY looking forward to next weekend when I can relax a little and get my bake on! [Read more...]
Thanks to a very productive row of citrus trees, we currently have more citrus fruit than we know what to do with! Suggestions on what to do with an over abundance of grapefruit would be much welcomed. I was thrilled to discover that one of the trees is a lime tree, as lime is one of my favourite flavours in both baking and Asian style cooking (and alcoholic drinks).

What better way than to get back into baking than by participating in the January edition of the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop! The theme for this month is Tropical Paradise, which suited me perfectly as I am now living in the tropical paradise of Cairns, in Far North Queensland – home of the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest and many beautiful beaches.
Happy New Year! I’m a little late with a blog update, mainly due to my own disorganisation and the fact that I’ve been in a little bit of a funk due to not having a job. But, as my Pilot predicted, things would get better in the new year – I have secured some temporary employment and hopefully something more permanent is on the horizon. [Read more...]
Eggnog, where have you been all of my life?! I’ve always written eggnog off as some kind of gross American drink – something forced upon children by adults at Christmas time. and universally hated. How very wrong I was! After seeing eggnog pop up in more than a few recipes recently and stumbling upon it in the cold section of the supermarket, I decided to give it a try. [Read more...]
