Wow, it has been a while since I've updated this blog! Once I joined the world of tumblr, I really neglected this place... Well, I'm back. Unlike my tumblr (found HERE) which captures the random thoughts and musings of my everyday life, I think I'm going to keep this for two of my favourite subjects - food and travel. With the Sydney International Food Festival just around the corner, there will be many food posts undoubtedly coming soon.
In the meantime, here is a snapshot of some food experiences I've had over the past few months that I have been M.I.A.
There have been delicious, rather perfect home-baked cheesecakes...
A new baby...a Kitchen Aid (hurrah!)
Homemade dessert souffles (courtesy of my baking-genius of a sister)...
And one of the most wonderful afternoon tea experiences at the quaint Hopetoun Tea Rooms in Melbourne. The cakes and pastries are divine! They also have a wonderful range of organic teas (from a brand whose name has escaped me for the moment). We tried the Ruby Sipper, which is a blood orange fruit blend and the Chocolatea, which is a blend of Chocolate, Vanilla, Organic Rooibos and Black Tea. There are other interesting ones that we weren't able to try, such as Congo Bongo (a coconut and mango flavoured tea) and Passion with Envy (a green leaf tea with passion fruit). Whilst there is usually a line out the door, the wait is most definitely worth it.
That's all I have for now. Until next time...
