Dad likes his carnivorous plants.


I tend to colour match my meals with my outfits.


Dad you crack me up.

My mobile rings.
Dad: Hi Nicole. Is Domus (my bf) there? I have an urgent computer problem.
Nicole: Yes he is. I'll put him on.
Dad: No. Give me your land line. This might take a while and will cost a lot on a mobile.
The land line rings
Dad: Hi Domus. I need your help. I downloaded some software and they say i need to copy the serial number and paste it into the set-up screen. I have managed to copy it but the screen where I need to paste it doesn't have a menu with 'paste' in it. Is there some secret way that you know of whereby I can paste it without having that option available to me in the menu?
Don: Try the control key and 'v'.
Dad: It worked (surprise in voice). Thank-you.
Line goes dead

A toffee apple a day will have the dentist mounting me.

I was once told not to mix my spirits or I'd get really pissed and then feel a touch unwell the next day.I think the same can be said about mixing one's cupcakes. 
After my 3rd flavour last night I was feeling a bit light on my footsies and after my 8th I was red-cordial hyperactive telling Melbourne's top food bloggers about the labia smears saga. I consumed a total of two and 2/3 cupcakes and was happy as Larry but feeling a bit gross after i also downed a 10PM dinner of Penang Fish curry. The Sugadeaux tasting night was delectable. My equal favs would have to be Toffee Apple (pictured), Chocolate Crackle and Caramel Popcorn. My lord it pays to have a cupcaker besty.

I get to eat cupcakes for dinner... And you don't.

Very excited about the Sugadeaux tasting night. I am one of the chosen ones who have cracked an invite to the exclusive event where i'll get to sample a plethora of spanking new flavors. "Toot toot". I am licking my chops already. 20 hours and 20 minutes to go.



Some personalised paper for Finky and Loz's wedding.

So simple yet so very effective. Do i spy Cocoa Spread in there? How inappropriate. I'll introducer her to you all another time.



What a keen sense of colour you have Nickers.

Saturday night's outing required a salad. Not just an ordinary salad. A vegetarian salad. Not so much my forte. I usually sneak some prawn or squid in for good measure but was told a vegetarian would not be so appreciate the effort. This was my offering: Roast beetroot and caramelised walnut salad with goat’s curd, pomegranate and preserved lemon. Although in hindsight i now realise i neglected the lemon. Tut tut.

Care to remove your labia from my seat?

In the same way that a sweaty hand might leave a print on a glass table, a sweaty labia can leave it's mark on the front bend of a public toilet seat. Or rather, my work toilet seat. Repugnant. My astute colleague brought this to my attention on Friday afternoon. How one manages to hike her flaps all the way onto the seat is a mystery to me. Perhaps the animal in question was sizeable and could find nowhere else to rest her weary bits? Whatever the reason, it is wrong wrong wrong and one with such unsavoury habits  should a) at least have had the courtesy to wipe the marks off when she was done and b) be put down. No doubt she didn't wash her hands when she vacated the facility either and her labia juices are now lingering on the door handle for all to embrace.

Where's the coast guard?

Had a flick through my Argentina pics and tripped over this one. Now this lady surely knows what an alfajor or 5 (per day) is.

Orange carrot and walnut muffins. I will make such a good mum.

Score yourself the recipe here

Al-fa-jaw (alfajor)

My Spanish is rubbish so I couldn't pronounce these puppies correctly while I was in Argentina but I loved them nonetheless. Think dulce de leche (sickly sweet evaporated condensed milk) sandwiched with yummy biscuits and coated in chocolate. Mm mm. Probably has the total recommended daily calorie intake in one bite but well worth the indulgence.

Have you met my beaver?

Is this not one of the coolest toys going around? I bought it in NY last year as a gift for a friend but became too attached to it and decided a mug would suffice for her. It's kind of similar to a Magna Doodle. One uses a magnetic stick to move about the tiny pubes until a satisfactory formation has been created. Ingenious.

"These pretzels are making me thirsty".

Herbed pretzels out of my Snowflakes and Schnapps book. 3rd successful recipe. Admittedly they do look like albino turds before they're baked but thankfully the buttery garlic/dill flavour doesn't resemble anything vacating one's rear end.

We are the Digital Folk

Finally, we have our friggin logo. How fabulous is it? This is a stamp version. We're getting offcuts of stock prom printing presses so that each card is unique. Very cool. Agree?

KFC snack box resellers?

Costco you are my savior

~$569 at Myer. $320 at Costco on Grand Final day. Score.

The shank and the noodle clump

Although my noodle clump looked fabulous (Thanks to my $12 setting rings) they tasted like balls. Thankfully the shanks we superb and my 'good wife-ee' status remains.

Sexy accessory AND no more tears

My spanking new onion cutting glasses. No longer do i bawl my eyes out making curries. A fantastic buy for $39.95. Comes in green and pink at Matchbox.

Retarded lilies gone good

Nothing like a sunny Sunday and 3 weeks later, my lilies decided to open up to me.
