sweets

how cute is this cookbook??

more of a brochure, really, it’s from thesweets: tastes and traditions from many cultures’ exhibit on at the immigration museum here in melbourne. i popped in yesterday; i was there to see the ‘on their own’ exhibit for uni (terribly moving; i don’t think i was the only one who had to take a breather). it’s a tiny, tiny exhibit showing equipment and sweet treats from five different communities in victoria – indian, italian, japanese, mauritian and turkish – but it was so vibrant and full of people reading cookbooks and chatting and laughing. super fun :)

needless to say i am now determined to make all five of the recipes shown above.

who wants to come over for mauritian polenta pudding? yum yum yum

 

 

new threads

a rather rushed getting-ready on sunday – which saw me wear the same (washed) blouse that i had worn to an interview on wednesday paired with my oldest and most falling-apart denim skirt and opshop jacket – has really highlighted just how much i need new clothes… it’s getting kind of beyond the joke.

any of these would be nice.

twitter

i have joined twitter.

what can i say: i was bored.

but i think i totally get the appeal: it’s all style, no(t much) substance, but still pretty fun.

so if you’re on twitter, please follow me. because right now i only have about 4 legit followers and about 6 randoms who are trying to give me free ipads (yeah, right: i’ll file that with the company that tried to get me to pin pictures of their vibrators and sex toys under ‘links i will not click’). it’s lonely, so lonely…
