Finallllly! I've found the perfect place to live/stay in Melbourne. FINALLY! Whew! YAY! But I still have a one week gap between the day I arrive in Melb and the day I'm allowed to move in to the apartment. Not a big problem, I think.
So yes, I can finally relax and blog. I'm just going to put up all the photos taken during the last month or so. It's going to be a massive post and it's going to be mainly photos of food... Hopefully once I get to Melbourne, I will be able to take photos of more exciting things.
I made these wonderful long biscuits for a Christmas Supper Party we held at our place. Not sure if I should call them biscuits. They're not sweet. Sort of like hard bread?
More finger food for the party. There was also fresh salmon! but I forgot to take photos of it because it was being prepared in the kitchen.
Balloon decoration. I tried to create a sort of Christmassy feel and put on Christmas carols too.
Used left over salmon the next day and made a sandwich.
Another party at out place. I think it was for New Years Eve? It was a BBQ party outside, in our garden. I don't eat pork/chicken/beef/lamb/veal etc... (land meat) so I went to my room after taking this photo.
Haha I do eat mussels though. Mmmm. I need it to keep my iron levels healthy.
On Lake Pupuke, I saw this albatross catch a fish from the lake and kill it. There was a bit of blood and it was quite sad. I didn't even know there were fish in Lake Pupuke.
In the blender I mixed tofu, soymilk, sunflower seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, peanut butter. This made the NICEST drink ever! Not really a drink. I used it to eat with noodles.
I also made "Tofu Biscuits". Really yummy and has virtually zero fat.
Pecan Pie from "The Cheesecake Shop". I don't usually like stuff from The Cheesecake Shop but their pecan pies and carrot cakes are okay for their price/taste/size. A bit too sweet though.
Total FAIL smoothie recipe. I mixed pineapples, banana, and milk. It was really yuck and acidic.
Homemade Vietnamese Rice noodles. Octopus, octopi? octopusses? no. Octopus? is really yum
Large walnut and olive cob from the French Bakehouse. Had almost no walnuts in it, gosh.
Mashed chickpeas, avocado, grilled mushrooms, and grated cheese on a vogel toast. Very nice.
Mmmmmm mung bean soup. Mum bought organic mung beans from somewhere and made this. It was soooooo yum. I love beans and grains and stuff like that.
I made pizza again! It turned out quite nice. It was topped with mostly potatoes and kumara.
Tried chia seeds for the first time. They're really fun to chew and adds a nice element to smoothies.
Blueberry smoothie!!!
It's cherry season!!! Yusssss. I've been eating so many cherries lately. Probably a year's worth of cherries in one week.
Went to One Tree Hill and walked around a bit. Saw some sheep. It's been AGES since I've seen a sheep. It was nice.
Beer and cake. Tasted nice. I liked the packaging.
I MADE THIS! haha would you believe?! I made proper pretty, nice tasting food! It's like a salmon & potato open top pie. It actually tasted nice.
