      Rosemary, Roast Capsicum & Seed Dip

      Last night I waged war with a fit ball. I’m disinclined to say I lost. For it’s not over yet. We’ll do battle again shortly. Being ever so thoughtful, the little sis sent over her spare fit ball for me to use (I think she’s somewhat excited I’m finally actually and seriously dedicating a significant amount of time to ‘getting flexible’). It was deflated and all ready to be pumped up with the pump that she sent in the second package (because, well it may have been forgotten the first time round). The excitement built as I waited for that second package to arrive. The fit ball was there sitting on the middle of my floor, ready to be restored to it’s former, bouncy and inflated glory. I sat down on the couch and looked at it. How best to tackle the task ahead? Just get in and do it I guess. So I pumped, and pumped and pumped. After what felt like simply hours of working at a teeny, flimsy pump the ball began to slowly take shape. To rise out of it’s crumpled state. As we neared the perfect spherical shape that it should be we hit a major hurdle. I pulled at the pump to remove the needle and stopper the valve with the little stopper fandangle provided. Nothing happened. I pulled again. This time the pump did budge, and so quickly that it nearly knocked me out, however the needle was left behind. Clearly they were no longer friends. It had been too arduous an affair for the both of them to stay together. No amount of prying or pulling could remove the darn little thing from the valve, which by the way appeared to have magically shrunk during the inflating of the ball. Slowly but surely the fit ball began to deflate with a quiet hiss. It didn’t like being pumped up, no thank you. Muttering and cursing under the breath failed to persuade the ball to release the needle. In a fit of rage I fled to the shower, hoping things would be magically fixed upon my return. Not the case. The fit ball looked at me from it’s perch on the couch like a sad, saggy old man’s belly, slowly sinking towards the ground. Damn you fitball. Continue reading →

      Rosemary & Sultana Soda Bread

      Afraid of baking with yeast? Never fear, soda bread is here! Okay, so that was a totally lame – and not to mention corny – statement. I’m sorry. What I was trying to do is get you to get excited about the concept of soda bread. Why? Anyone can master it, even the most novice of bakers. I promise. Less finicky than scone-dough and certainly less stressful than yeast based breads (because, well, it doesn’t contain yeast), this is definitely one to add to your baking repertoire, no matter how small (or non-existent) it may be. So it may not be quite as easy as a melt-and-mix chocolate cake, however the result is just as pleasing, if not more so. And sure, you can convince yourself that chocolate cake is acceptable for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, but whilst that’s nice in theory, in reality it’s not. On the other hand, this Rosemary & Sultana Soda Bread is actually suitable for all three. And is oodles healthier than a slab of cake. Did I mention that it’s scrum-diddly-umptious too? No? Well there you go. It’s ‘rustic’ baking at it’s best. Continue reading →
