Deceptively Healthy Date and Banana Bread

by Hannah on July 31, 2010

Random aside: A few people have reached my blog lately by searching for “Jeanne Bauwens”. This intrigued me, as I didn’t recognise the name myself. Turns out Jeanna Bauwens is one of the ladies in this Wayfaring Chocolate Guided Art Tour; in fact, she’s the one whom I hypothesised to be a murderer-cum-fashion designer. I’ve been [...]

When you were a child, were you ever taken to a store that sold expensive items yet didn’t bother to protect them behind, say, glass? Perhaps it was a music shop where guitars and flutes and bongos stood out like playmates in the schoolyard, beckoning you to touch them with your Chupa Chups-holding hands? Or [...]

[Wo]Man Vs. Wild [Toe]

by Hannah on July 29, 2010

Sunday: I wake up from a dream wherein my first tutorial had four hundred people in it and my second tutorial had five, one of whom was a Picasso impersonator and another of whom turned out to not be a student but merely someone using the PortaLoo (which was being stored in my teaching room [...]

Once upon a time, there lived a PhD Princess by the name of Wayfaring Chocolate. She lived high up in a tower (the third-and-uppermost floor of a unit complex) beset on all sides by ogres (Mr.StinkyNeverWashes), trolls (the person who left the mean note on my car windscreen and made me, which is to say the [...]

Glimpses of Florence, Part Four

by Hannah on July 26, 2010

Talk about putting your best [building] face forward. Also, sometimes when I look at this photo with my head tilted to one side, the building reminds me of a train. Is that crazy-talk? I originally took this photo (and several other paparazzi-esque shots like it) because I fell in love with that cuddly-looking pink-tongued fluffy dog of wonderment. [...]

We all do silly things sometimes, and later wish we hadn’t. For example, I bet Malcolm Turnbull and K.Rudd wish they’d played their cards differently this past year. If they had, it might have been their turn to face the Federal Election next month, and not their respective usurpers (so to speak). I also assume that [...]

Reasons Why Being 23 and Exceptionally Single is Awesome I have an entire big bed to myself to spread out in. When I bake a batch of cookies or a slice (see below), I get to eat the whole lot myself. I can have enormous bowls of oatmeal topped with ungodly amounts of almond butter, [...]

A big thanks to everyone for the lovely comments and congratulations regarding my PhD announcement! It’s really nice to have your support When I was house-sitting a few months ago, I went out for dinner with three lovely ladies. One of these lovely ladies (in the strictly non-Les Miserables sense) was L-Izzle, who you may recognize [...]

Note: Seeing as I have no PhD-related photos, I’m using this post as an opportunity to showcase more edible (well, that might be questionable) delights from America, partaken in during my 2007-8 exchange year. Don’t stress about the incongruity of text and visuals. (Or the extremely terrible quality of the photos.) Just go with it. [...]

Chocolove Coffee Crunch in Dark Chocolate

by Hannah on July 19, 2010

Before we get onto the chocolate, I’d just like to say thank you to everyone for the lovely comments on yesterday’s post. I always feel a bit nervous posting stories that are simply my life/thoughts/giggles, for fear they come across as self-indulgent and/or dull. And gosh, maybe they do, but thank you all for chatting [...]
