Ant Candy!

 

While in Siem Reap I bought myself a bag of lollies as a special treat. I was super well-behaved and self-controlled and didn't eat them all at once, but put some away in my drawer as a treat for another day...

(and I'm not silly, I did fasten the top of a bag with a rubber band)

BUT the next day I decided to reward myself with a treat, I open my drawer, take out the bag of lollies, go to put my hand in to take one, AND THEN see that the bag is full of a million ants. No treat for me :( plenty of treats for the sneaky little ants!

Delicious Dumplings

I love dumplings. Chinese dumplings, Japanese dumplings, English dumplings.... you get the idea!
I recently tried Russian dumplings, and they were good too!
Sooo last timre I visited Mum we had a go at making them. I THINK that Japanese dumplings are me favourite (otherwise known as gyoza).
We used this recipe....

We even made the wrappers from scratch!!! wow!!
Anyway... they were delicious and definitely worth the effort :)

Two for Tea and Tea for Two

I love tea. I especially love to share a pot of tea with someone. In the sunshine. This is the remains of tea for two and a BROWNIE from Ironic Cafe in Dunedin, NZ. It was at least 6 months ago now, but from what I remember it was a delicious brownie and I shared a pot of Earl Grey with my friend Andrea.
