My Pseudo-Halloween Post

by Hannah on October 31, 2010

Because all the cool kids are doing it, and I haven’t. Written a Halloween-themed post, that is. You see, I didn’t have any fancy dress parties to go to or any orange foods to eat. No sirree. Today I had a lovely catch-up with a friend and rather a lot of chilli jam on toast for [...]

Askinosie San Jose Del Tambo 70% Dark Chocolate

by Hannah on October 30, 2010

After punishing my brazenly snobbish, artisan-chocolate-preferring tastebuds with horrifyingly sweet Cadbury, slightly-less horrifyingly sweet Cadbury Top Deck, and then awful orange-tainted Moser Roth, I decided it was time to show my palate some lovin’. So I delved deep into my chocolate stash and pulled out something by one of my favourite bean-to-bar chocolate companies, Askinosie. One day [...]

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins For My Grandma

by Hannah on October 29, 2010

About a month ago, my wonderful Grandma Mickey (the one who recently gave me a gorgeous sugar bowl) had a nasty fall which resulted in broken ribs and a punctured lung. I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that this would lead a lady in her mid-90s to be bed-ridden, but I would have to correct you [...]

Moser Roth Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Gianduja

by Hannah on October 28, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I need a break from eating and reviewing Cadbury chocolate. Sure, I have at least four more blocks to blog about in the near future, but I can assure you that there’s only so much hyper-sweet milk-diluted mass-market chocolate that I can take at any one time. So, instead, let’s [...]

First off, a big hello and welcome to anyone who’s popping by via the lovely Helen’s blog! I can tell you that a) Helen is just as wonderful in real life as she seems on her blog, b) I hope you enjoy poking around this teeny-tiny little blog-corner of mine, and c) you’ve arrived just [...]

Miso Millet Vegetable Pilaf And Sibling Rivalry

by Hannah on October 24, 2010

A week or so ago I was on the phone to my brother (the magnificent E.TeacherLord who sometimes gives me chocolate but also once threatened to bite my nose off), and he started teasing me about how almost every recipe I post on this blog is sweet. I tried to argue that this doesn’t necessarily reflect [...]

Macro Gluten Free Double Choc Biscuits

by Hannah on October 23, 2010

The other day, I was walking through Woolworths after a particularly gruelling three-hour boxing session* when I made the mistake of passing the health food aisle. I normally bypass that area of the shop in favour of the produce, pasta, and peanut butter aisles, because in those aisles I get to ask myself the following exciting [...]

Chocolate Cherry Ripe Cookies For My Father

by Hannah on October 21, 2010

I’ve never been shy about expressing my love for the people I care about. This might have stemmed from a chapter of Sideways Stories from Westside School, in which a boy discovers that when you tell someone that you love them, you yourself fill to the brim with even more love that you felt before. [...]

For Your Amusement…

by Hannah on October 20, 2010

Because, sometimes, the world seems like an overcast place even when the sun is shining, and the breeze that swirls around you seems less uplifting than threaded through with anxieties. And because, when that happens, you need something with the power to chase all the ickyness away. *laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs*

Back when I mentioned my $50 Cadbury prize haul, I hinted that I might have a go at writing one or more of my Cadbury chocolate reviews in poetry form. After all, it worked fairly well when I used limericks to associate Plamil chocolate with getting high, right? Maria voted for the first review to be done entirely in [...]
