I recently caught up with a dear, dear, friend. You know the one. You probably have one just like them. You think of them fondly and can’t for the life of you remember why you don’t stay in touch anymore.
Salted caramel brioche buns, chocolate mug cake, mint chocolate slice, blender chocolate mousse…that’s all in one week folks. That’s right, winter’s here, and I’m on a kitchen rampage.
She’s all grown up now. Sweet but sensual. Familiar yet exotic. Youthful, yes, but she’s all woman.
Michael from Harvest Estate winery got in touch with me recently suggesting we join food and wine forces.
At home in Toronto I spent countless blissful alone hours knee-deep in dough, pastry and melted chocolate, clearing my mind and expressing myself (and expanding my waistline?) through food.
Over the last year or so I have put the blog on the shelf for many reasons–for friend-making, for exploring, for love–but absolutely not for anything to do with my feelings about food.
In fact, some of my most treasured new friends love and respect food just as much as I do.
Today, so far away from home, I’m feeling lucky for all of those little things in life that I often take for granted. And so, below, a little message for you, hungry reader. Have a wonderful, food-filled day!
Thank you for reading my blog.
My contribution to World Nutella Day is definitely more modest than last year’s effort. But it’s a fun and easy way to enjoy Nutella, wherever you are, and maybe in a way you haven’t tried before.
My first trip to Australia was seven years ago, in 2005. I had planned and planned my year-long trip down under and was eager to escape my job and living situation and to spend enough time at the beach that I could actually get a hang of surfing, if I was lucky.
My first stop was Melbourne.
