Make your own Whiskeyburger

April 29th 2008 06:03
Whiskeyburger recipe

You stop at this little cafe. They hand you a basket of fries and a glass of Coke. All good, all good. Then, instead of a nice beef burger on a toasted bun, they pass you a tumbler full of some yellowish liquid. With foam on top. And pickles hanging from the glass.

Anzac biscuits with choc-chips!

Anzac biscuits with choc-chips

Anzac day- a day of remembering and for celebrating. And one of the things I love most about this day is the eating of the Anzac biscuits! Such sweet, oaty, golden-syrupy goodness! This year, after baking traditional Anzac biscuits, I thought I would *step out of the square* (just a *little* bit), and try an Anzac biscuit variation- Anzac biscuits with choc-chips! I know! I was a bit scared at first that Mr Anzac wouldn’t take kindly to the addition of the new little chips, but no, they got on swell! All the sweet oat-y deliciousness of Anzac biscuits with a bite of chocolate goodness! A definite must try!

Blueberry jam tarts!

Blueberry jam tarts

I think I must be in a jam tart phase of my life because I just keep feeling like eating them! Somehow when I eat these tarts they remind me of Alice in Wonderland! I haven’t the foggiest idea why this is the case, but such is the way it is. Maybe it is the whole *tea-party* concept? Which reminds me, T2 now have their own café which is trés chic and trendy, but I seem to be *tangenting* again! Anyway, I just adore the deep colour of blueberry jam! It’s so dark! Almost like its hiding secrets! Seems even exotic! Mmmm… blueberries are delicious too. No wonder I like these blueberry jam tarts.

These delicious cheesy twists are quick and easy to make! So easy that anyone can make them! That’s right! Even you!

The cheesy twists have a really good crunch and are especially tasty when freshly baked!

Penne with beef, tomato and red wine

The sauce in this pasta is definitely one of the richest tomato sauces I have ever tasted. The red wine gives it such a deep red colour and full-bodied taste; it simply looks like it has been brewing for a decade, concentrating the flavours to the last drop.

Think pink cupcakes!

Think pink cupcakes!
Think pink cupcakes!

I’ve noticed that cold days in particular can tend to be a bit dreary. The world appears just that much more grey and gloomy. It is almost like someone has put a giant smokescreen around the world. And you just think to yourself, wouldn’t it be nice to add a little more colour to the world! Well the time has come, my little friends to think of colour and things! If I was a *Picasso-type-of-person* I would probably paint a marvellous bright multi-tonal, multi-coloured picture, but since I’m not really blessed with those type of artistic genes and really much more of a *baked-sweet-goods* type, I thought I would instead add colour to the world through more cupcakes! Think pink cupcakes to be precise! The pink icing just makes them look so friendly, not to mention the sprinkles which just makes them plain fun! Pink vanilla icing on top of a pink vanilla cupcake….mmm.. the world seems more colourful already!

Are you a mint chocolate fan? The type of person who likes a *whirl* on the fresher side of life? Well then have I got treat for you! Mint chocolate cupcakes! They combine just the right balance of mint and chocolate fun! The cupcake is moist and more on the chocolatey side of life, whilst the icing is thick and sweet with a dashy of mint, and the whole little package is crowned with slices of mint chocolate, my chocolate choice of the day being ‘Aero mint’! Such delicious green balls of fun! Cupcakes definitely brighten my day and are a perfect present for that special someone’s birthday!

Spiralli with bacon, tomatoes and cream

Spiralli with bacon, tomatoes and cream

So I’ve been feeling “under the weather” so to speak for the last few days. And you know how when you aren’t feeling particularly well, you don’t really feel like going to much trouble doing anything, cooking included. So there I was contemplating whether to eat instant noodles (gasp!) when I thought to myself, if I eat food with “not much nutrients” I might potentially NEVER get better. (A tad overdramatic, I know) Thus, stunned into the black hole of *potential sickness for f-o-r-e-v-e-r* I decided to cook up some wholesome food to feed the soul.

Tapenade twists

Tapenade twists

Life a bit too straight? Why not twist it up with some deliciously crispy tapenade twists! All the goodness of pastry with olive tapenade to give it a savoury kick! They’re great as a nibbly before the main meal! And conveniently you can make them really simply and easily at the last minute! I ate mine with a cheese fondue and it was great! Dipping these little twists in lots and lots of melted cheese is very fun and delicious! Too bad you can’t do it too often, otherwise it can be rather unkind on the waistline. Also don't get scared of the olive tapenade. I will freely agree that it can look rather *suspicious*, but never fear, it is delicious!

Ramen Noodle Coleslaw

April 4th 2008 03:52
Ramen noodle coleslaw salad
If you've ever been a student for any length of time, there's a good chance that you've had to stretch your finances by eating Ramen noodles. They're the instant noodles that come in those happy packages - the price varies from 30 cents up to 4 dollars.

And that's a big difference in quality, too. Sadly, uni students are likely to fall for the ol' trick of buying an entire box of cheap noodles, gleeful at the idea of how many weeks they can last on it, using their money to buy more beer
