Still peckish

I'm tired of rice crackers and dip. That's been our staple snack for
longer than I can remember. Surely there must be something equally
tasty with a different flavour and texture.

It was most pleasing on Christmas eve to unwrap my lovely new kenwood
hand blender. Easily one of the best presents ever, second only to the
sunbeam pie maker from last christmas and the many sheets of puff
pastry that accompanied.

We shall soon learn whether I am weary from eating the same snack for
years, or simply bored of average supermarket dip.

My cousin pointed out on her 30th that as one gets older, one must
simply accept the things that come with growing up:

1. Giving a shit about eating good food.

2. Making time for the kitchen, cos that's where good food will come
from.

3. Loving presents like pie makers and hand blenders.

4. Swapping recipes with mums, aunties and grandmas.

5. Settling for a Nokia or Samsung mobile phone cos you don't really
need all the cool features.

I can gel with most of this list, and it sounds like getting old will
be quite cool and delicious. Dunno about that last one, though. I
really like
My phone - blogged this with it, in fact.

Hopefully by the time I'm proper old, my iPhone will also be a hand
blender and pie maker. That would shit all over other Christmases. :)

Hello from vines

Little holiday, in a slightly romantic wish-i-had-nice-photos mood but
quite enjoying not really thinking about pictures for now. Been
snacking and drinking non-stop since we got in. Bloody Mary is
officially my favourite cocktail because it feels nutritious even with
a double shot in it, innit.

Today we went swimming, fed sugar to some ants and then had a BBQ. I
would like to download puzzle quest from the iTunes shop but it's too
big and my phone won't let me over 3G. :( bumholes.

It's been an hour since dinner. Time for another snack. :)

Leftover surprise

WARNING!! DO NOT EAT!!

Dear friends, don't eat chilli con queso ever if you are fat or
cholesterol-ridden. It is mostly butter and cheese with some tomato
and chilli to make it seem feasible. Do not be suckers for its demonic
delicious wiles.

oh my god, it's christmas!
