I’M ALIVE! Yes, yes I am. My last blog post was exactly one week ago, and believe it or not, this time I can’t point an accusing finger at my Instagram addiction. I’ve actually been way over here in Johanneburg, South Africa, hidden in the depths of corporate conferencing, barely surviving six days straight of 7.30am  to 10pm sessions / networking dinners.

I’m tired.

Today has been the first time I’ve gotten back to the hotel at a reasonable hour and I could not wait to have a loooong hot shower, order room service and BUM. And by “bum”, clearly, I mean “blog”.

I am (unashamedly) a creature of habit. When I find something I like doing, I do it with huge love and commitment and I would do it all day every day, until well, one day when I don’t like doing it any more. And when I like eating something, I eat it as often as I humanly can (sometimes I can eat the same thing every day for weeks – remember my thing with meatballs?) until one day the thought of it makes me gag.

On Saturday night, I instagrammed and tweeted a photo of a pavlova I had made for a dinner party. As you can tell, it was a rush job because I didn’t even have time to lay a sheet as a backdrop, I used my carpet for gods sake. In any case, the response was phenomenal with lots of people giving me compliments for my little bake-job, and also asking for the recipe. *blush*

Well, it’s not a new recipe. It’s a tried and tested (many times) oldie, so I know it works 🙂

The recipe is on an older blog post here. Enjoy!

I know I’ve been a little bit slack with posting lately. My consistent three-posts-per-week has gradually dropped to two, and if I didn’t come up with this impromptu post today, it would have been one this week. Not that I feel pressured to post. Blogging is actually down time for me, and something I “do” to “relax”.

Yes, I unwind from being on my laptop all day… by being on my laptop all day. True story.

Next hit up on Project Burger: The Burger Joint in Darlinghurst.

Don’t be fooled. This place might look like a shabby little hole in the wall, but what comes out of them is actually pretty awesome. With a menu scrawled on the wall, they offer combos to suit all tastes; burger? cheese burger? cheeseburger with gherkin? salad anyone? They even have an option to customise your own burger, condiments and all. WOAH.

Well, I must be feeling better if I’m making ice cream sandwiches. And I am. Thanks for all the well wishes from the previous post. In a nutshell, I’m much much better, still a little sore but I can now talk, and most importantly, I can eat. Huzzah!

Now, because I am supremely organised (what, you didn’t know that about me? Haven’t read my About page? I need to update that actually…), I made a bunch of recuperative food before I went into surgery, namely the pork & daikon soup and on doctors orders (no joke), some ice cream. Cookies & cream, to be precise.

For a bit of fun, I’ve also made a few little ice cream sandwiches.
