Disorganised

I have to be the most disorganised traveller ever. Before every trip, I make a firm resolution to have everything packed and ready to go a day before the actual departure date, but somehow, that just never happens!

It’s 11:46PM and I’m still up! But on the bright side, I’m nearly done stuffing my (and the Hubs’) luggage with tons of Lindt chocolate. I’m sure the Australian Customs are going to think that I’m trafficking hazelnut praline!
Well, I’m sure you’re all eagerly waiting the results of the draw. I had 15 bits of paper in my paper salad as you can see. (Can you see the TV reflection of some very bad late night program in the bowl?)

Anyway, the lucky recipients of Tim Tams are:
Cookie Baker Lynn
Jaden from Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen
Padma from Padma’s Kitchen
And last but not least,
Wandering Chopsticks

Um, yes, I know that’s 4 names and not 3…but hey, it’s late and I was on a roll!

So ladies, can you please email me (wokandspoon@gmail.com) your snail mail addresses! Ta!

Urggh, it’s 12:07AM already!

See you all in 3 weeks!

Last minute!

After overwhelming evidence that half of the foodie blogging world has never laid eyes on a Tim Tam, this has compelled me to share some of the joy around. So, seeing as I’ll be in Melbourne for the next 2 weeks, and I’ll be in reach of Tim Tams (all day long!), I’m going to send a packet of Tim Tams to 3 deprived foodie bloggers.

Before I go any further, I really apologise but I’m going to disqualify foodie bloggers who live in Tim Tam accessible countries ie. Australia, New Zealand, UK, and um…Malaysia and Singapore…unless of course, you swear on your wok, blender and overworked oven that you have never ever let a Tim Tam cross your lips and have absolutely no way to obtain any of that most craved for sweetness.

The other disclaimer is that if you are one of the chosen ones and have a packet with your name written all over it, I will do my best to airmail it to you. However, while Australia Post is very reliable, I am in no way responsible for any hungry postman, postal worker, customs officer and others who decide that the packet is for them rather than for you.

Oh, and I’m also not responsible for melted Tim Tams sitting in letter boxes in the heat of summer (for those who are actually having a real summer!). I’m also too lazy to check if I can send foodstuff to where ever you are (customs restrictions for your country?), so I’ll just cross my fingers, stick the stamps on and post!

Anyway, if you’re interested, let me know (email, comment etc) before 9pm Saturday (Frankfurt time please!) and I’ll put all the names in a big salad bowl and pull 3 names out (you can send me your snail mail addresses later). I’ll hopefully be able to organise and let you know before I leave on Sunday.

Ps.
If I was a millionaire I would send you all a packet! Unfortunately, the Lotto Fairy hasn’t yet come my way!

It’s all a lie

The truth is finally out.

I’m not a real foodie.

I’ve just come back from a week of eating my way through the Charentes and Paris, and you know what? I didn’t take a single picture of food! Despite the big eating fests to celebrate the Hubs’ 30th birthday, I don’t have a single photo of food.
Zip. Nada. Nothing. Not a pixel.
I should hang my wok in shame.
The problem? Well, you know, after a nice glass of pineau (or two), I forget to take photos! I blame it on the French and their apéros.

Oh well.

Anyway, here’s a photo of some tomatoes ripening at my in-laws, and young grapes on the grapevine…well, it’s food!

ps. I'm looking forward to catching up with all your blogs soon! Yummmmmmm!

Sidetracked

We're in the middle of moving back to Melbourne at the moment and packing doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for cooking (especially when some of my cooking utensils have been packed).

However, it does leave a lot of time for bad snacking habits (especially when I start getting frustrated by the amount of stuff that we’ve accumulated!).

Today, this very yummy little chocolate bunny sidetracked me.

Here’s the before shot.

And the after shot.

It’s not even Easter yet!
