What have you been doing today?

Congratulations on the job deedub and happy anniversary Marie. We're only a couple of years behind you.

Today I went to the Good Food and Wine show, all day. I had a fabulous time. I ate lots of cheese, bits and pieces and tasted some interesting wines and ciders. I also had a bit of a spend up. I love how they sell things in multiples a little cheaper than normal.
A small collection of small Ashgrove cheeses.
The Smelly Cheese shop was there and I remembered someone telling Kim how nice the cheeses were. I think it may have been Gert. Oh they are really delicious.
A few Maggie Beer jams.
A few Heilala vanilla items.
Couldn't resist these, I love eating them.
A packet of ciabatta bread mix.

As I said I had a lovely day.i also bought some more Beerenberg jams as I had run out. They are nice when I can't get fruit to make jam. Had a couple of Maggie Beer icecreams too. No dinner was needed tonight.

Cookie I so wanted to go this again this year, I went last year and it was a blast. So counting the months for next year

OMG cookie. You did well. What a lot of loot. Not so fond of the ashgroves but maybe I should try again. Let me know what you think. I do like the wasabi but  I am kind of a purist I think ....maybe .....don't know.  What is the smelly in the round?

Wow Cookie lots of nice goodies  

[judydawn]

   How did you carry all that Cookie?  Wowee, that is one brilliant day out.

Thought I'd look up when Adelaide's was as I'd love to go to something like that - found this, buggar!

"After a lot of consideration and listening intently to all of you at our Adelaide Show, we have decided to postpone this year’s show and build a bigger and better event for 2014.

This year will be spent investigating new features and activities that we can include. We haven’t forgotten about you Adelaide. We love South Australia and are looking forward to bringing you an even bigger and better Good Food & Wine Show in 2014!"

Happy 44th, Emme! You've been very blessed

Congrats, Dee, on the new job. So so very exciting. Wish you all the best - interesting work, good boss and lovely colleagues.

Cookie, you had a blast by the looks of it The pack of desserts by Delicious Bites is made up of Malaysian sweets. Traditional desserts that easily available everywhere. Many of them were created by Nyonya ladies of years gone by. 

They are called kuih tayap (a crepe filled with shredded coconut steeped in gula melaka), kuih lapis (a steamed kuih made up of rice and tapioca flours layers), seri muka (glutinous rice layer topped with an egg custard layer) and onde-onde (glutinous rice flour balls filled with palm sugar, and covered with shredded coconut).

We Malaysians do love our food

Gosh! just catching up . . .

Deedub - congratulations!!  That's fantastic news!!  Hope everything goes well and that you've found a job that you'll really enjoy!!

Emme - your 44th Anniversary!!  congratulations! that's wonderful - I hope you have a very special celebration!!

Mich - I'm going through something similar with the magazines, books, etc. Took a box full of texts/workbooks etc to school yesterday.  Sorted my Delicious magazines onto one shelf.  Books being sorted now.  Cleared off one tall bookcase to, temporarily at least, house baking tins of all descriptions I've collected over the years  (using those wooden plate display stands - they do work a treat!), baking needs and books. At least I can now see them! That freed up a deep and low cupboard in the kitchen for some small appliances.

Cookie - sounds as though you had an absolute ball!!  Hope they had a shopping trolley for you!!

[obbie]

Cookie - sounds as though you had an absolute ball!!  Hope they had a shopping trolley for you!!

I was thinking the same thing, or that poor cookie's arms drag on the ground now!

deedub...BRAVO to you 

Emme...44 years deserves a stella present! 

.....I'm still thawing out from this morning    was going shopping this afternoon, but stoking the fire & watching a movie sounds more attractive.
