Back home in Canada, it could be said that one of our biggest food secrets is how they get the soft, creamy caramel inside the Caramilk bar. Here in Australia, they’re keeping a much bigger secret: The secret of the Lamington.
I may be a very long way from home, but lucky for me I have a very special family here in Australia. My best friend Natalie and her partner Scott, along with their three little kiddies, have taken me in and made me a part of their busy, non-stop-fun-times clan.
When I hear the word “pie” I immediately think of apple, or blueberry, or strawberry rhubarb. But I am on the other side of the world now, and mention “pie” around here and they are definitely not talking about fruit.
That’s a cookie for all you non-Australians. It’s short for biscuit.
Since sharing my big news about travelling to Australia last month, things have been so over-the-top busy I’ve barely had time to catch my breath!
Dreams can be funny. They can be huge, over-the-top notions of how life could be, or strange stories that melt away as you rub the sleep from your eyes. Sometimes you’ve been dreaming a dream for so long, you can hardly recall how it all began.
As some of you may know, I am knee-deep in packing up my apartment right now, getting ready to move out at the end of the month.
Tonight I’m helping the boys out.
