      Mushroom Soup

      We’ve had some classic Autumn weather this week. Slap-in-your-face cold mornings that slowly give way to brisk yet bright days. The sunlight dapples through the trees, highlighting the changes in leaf colour – from green to yellow to almost red (it’s still a little early yet for the ‘proper’ Autumn shades). This area of Melbourne is blessed with many large, ancient (well I like to think they are) deciduous trees. No, they aren’t native, yet you can’t help but think that if they’re already there why shouldn’t we admire their splendour? Such days call for a bowl of piping hot soup, so warm that it fogs up your glasses (if you so happen to wear them) when you raise the spoon to your lips. Prior to a trip to Edinburgh (in August 2012, to be exact) I avoided mushroom soup like the plague. I mean mushrooms are fantastic, no doubt about it, but mushroom soup? No thank you, mister. That’s taking the dedication a little too far. Continue reading →

      GlobeThis week we might actually be on track to meeting the ‘traditional’ three posts a week quota. Not only that, this one is a waste post – haven’t seen one of them around these parts for a while. Don’t get too excited though, it is mid-sem break after all. Can’t guarantee that all this efficiency will last. We can hope though, we can hope. Continue reading →

      How was your Easter? Overload on chocolate? Lose all sense of self restraint and eat far too many Hot Cross Buns? Have you yet reached the point at which you blanch at the thought of anything remotely egg/bunny shaped? I know I certainly have. When you do, it’s good to hit the refresh button. Do what you need to do to get back on track. Freeze any left-over (yeah, fat chance, I know) hot cross buns, pass the remaining chocolate on to someone else so that they can hide it from you and make a darn good salad to revitalize those taste buds… Continue reading →

      Apple Fritters

      Breakfasts after a night out. Critical question – are you part of the oily/carby/shove-anything-remotely-unhealthy-down-your-gullet crew? Or do you fit in the slightly more uncommon category and, like me, shy away from any thought or smell of grease? Either way, these Apple Fritters will lure you out of bed…crisp rings of apple, encased in a sweet batter and topped with copious amounts of cinnamon sugar. Pair with a strong coffee and your day’s off to a fine start. More or less. Let’s not kid ourselves too much. The batter can be prepared ahead of time (up to twelve hours ahead) so if you’re super organised you can simply roll out of bed – quite literally if need be – dunk the apple rings in the batter and get frying. Alternatively, if you’re in no rush to head to uni/work/other such mundane obligations, the batter can be prepared on awakening and you’ve got yourself half an hour to potter about, take a dip and attempt to re-establish some sense of decorum. You really can’t go wrong with fritters. Continue reading →

      Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

      I am a terrible, terrible person. You must think I’m unable to keep my word. There may be some truth in that. It’s been over five weeks since I last posted. Five weeks. Sad thing is, I’ve had plenty of ‘back ups’ sitting here, patiently waiting to be used. There’s no excuses to be had. Later this week I’ll delve more into what has been going on, perhaps even try to justify my severe lack of commitment. On second thoughts, don’t hold me to it. Last weekend I knocked together a batch of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for our residential college’s ‘celebration’ of Earth Hour. Truth be told they weren’t these ones – golly, not only do I go back on my word, I’m hypocritical too. This ain’t putting me in a very good light is it? However, a girl can only work with the ingredients she’s got on hand. Butter wasn’t one of them. Let’s not get too side-tracked though – these are significantly tastier and as stated below (yes it is one of those ‘pre-written ones’) you really do need to go make some. If you can trust me on anything at the moment, it’s that. In the meantime, I’ll get down to preparing a more substantial post for you! Continue reading →
