I think I'm onto a theme here. No no's.

Last night I decided we really needed to go use some Hoyt's vouchers that my clever hubby won for filling out some feedback/survey thingy.

(We watched Wallace & Gromit) (Did I spell that right?) (Hmm..they've polluted claymation with digital effects. grrr.)

Then I decided we needed to eat out for dinner as moi was starving. Lucky we had our trusty Entertainment Book with us! Decided to try Thai Garden on High St road just up from Glen Waverley Shopping Centre.

Hmm..can I tell you all that I think it's a bad idea to show the waitress your book and discount voucher at the start? We ordered two dishes: a seafood curry stir fry thingy (Chiu Chee seafood I think) and a green curry chicken.

Hello again everybody! Thought I'd log in briefly to tell you about my brave move last night (although it was preceeded, or in fact, necessitated by) a not-too-smart move. What on earth am I babbling on about?.. at least, I think I hear some of you *thinking* that hehe..

Well, I was staying in Moama last night because of work. Some of you may know that I audit food factories, among other things, and yesterday and today I was due to visit the factories located in Echuca and Tongala. Anyway. come dinner time on such a beautiful spring evening, I felt that the oysters on the motel menu looked too attractive to pass by. A small voice whispered (but was ignored) that it might not be a good idea to order oysters this far from the sea - but then, they were offering them!! So perhaps they knew what they were doing??

Hoo hoo...check this out..it's Paintball/Skirmish on your desktop, and it's fun to play! Plus, if you happen to be curious in the same way that I am, you look at the homepage.. which is all in Hebrew.. So I wonder what the site's about - my guess is some sort of Jewish Christian Home school resources site... somebody tell me if that's right :-)

Those of you who followed the chocolate cake experiment (in reality, a sequel to the orange cake experiment) will know that the chocolate was well finished...but the most astute of you may have noted that a 3/4 block of Copha continues its lonely existence in a kitchen somewhere in Glen Waverley.. What happened to it?  Did it meet a noble end? 

This is the story of that block of Copha.. (3/4).

Ok, let's put in some background first!  Some of you may remember Sharini from that amazing weetbix video.  Anyway, she mentioned that she makes a good date scone off the recipe on the back of the self raising flour packet (don't ask me which brand hehe..) ..so I bought some flour when we went shopping.

Hi everybody, Wish I had some photos for you, because tonight we had a meal that I wish you could eyeball. 

On the other hand, perhaps it's all for the best.  It might put some off although I'm confident most foodies are pretty open-minded people. 

One of the things I love best is an impromptu good meal, and tonight is all about that.  As it happens moi's family has been getting together a fair few times in the last week as a member of the family has come down from Canberra for a brief holiday en route to a much anticipated career stint in the UK. 

So, I hardly expected a phone call today to ask if I happened to be planning anything for dinner, as a few of the family were thinking of going out for dinner the night before said person's flight out?

...But you'll have to pretend the boys are ..erm... clay pigeons? (hint - click the "visit" link below on the rhs) PS Thanks Chris for the game!! (Lucky he's a guy so I won't be accused of being a female chauvinist hehe..)

Hey there everyone, Between last night and now I had the happy experience of finishing the e=mc^2 book and reading another couple of chapters of the CS Lewis book (and I hope you all know that The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe movie is coming out, yay!!!) Anyway, the e=mc^2 book has now got another selling point as far as I am concerned, because it also tells the story of the women who were involved!! I am such a womens-rights junkie & you all know it. Sadly, one of the very smart women (who incidentally also made sure she won at cards - go girl! - so she could buy the books *she* wanted instead of the clothes her family would rather..) died of childbirth complications... tragic isn't it? I am so thankful to live in these days!!

HI everyone,

 This is the page where I rave about the books I'm loving at the moment. Sometime last week (Monday or Tuesday, I think) I had the urge to clean out the walk in robe in my study. Which is when I found a box of books that we hadn't unpacked, which of course I couldn't resist looking through, and ended up rediscovering two gems - E=mc^2 by David Bodanis, and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (which by the way, was sitting on my bookshelf in a more current edition!  The version in the box had a price sticker proclaiming 50 pence *grin*)

Anyway, I had some time yesterday and picked up the latter (which consists of 4 or 5 books bound together) and read the last 2 books.  I can't say anything more at the moment except that I couldn't stop thinking about it all day today.  But more about that later :-)

Ok - if you haven't read episode 1, I suggest you go down one entry and start at the proper place. However, if you, like my sister (You know which one you are!) like to read the endings first, then...well, there's no help for you anyway hehe..

When we left our story, the chocolate had been lovely and warm and might have been good for making hot chocolate (almost!)  Anyway, a couple of days later it wasn't looking so good.  I'll spare you the details.  And I'll also spare you the details of how Euge tried to eat some of that stuff, but just between you, me and the rest of the world, he is one funny guy *grin*
