Random thoughts on cooking and films
I spent most of my day doing Uni work but did take a few minutes out to make some yummy cookies (aka bikkies). I used this Cranberry Cornmeal recipe but used gluten free flour (cuz that's all I had) and they came out pretty yummy. Kind of like a sweet fruity shortbread. And now tonight we, like most of Australia, will be settling in to watch the finale of MasterChef.
But to change tack, the Melbourne International Film Festival is on at the moment but one film you wont be seeing is L.A.ZOMBIE because it has been refused classification by the Office of Film and Literature Classification’s Film Classification Board.(even though the erect penises and anal sex have been taken out of this version). While this gay-zombie-softcore film doesn't really sound like some masterpiece I like zombie flicks as much as the next person...but it looks like I'll have to wait a while to make my own decision. Another film you won't be able to see is MAKING IT HANDMADE!, but not for the same reasons (this one does not have any necrophilia. Man, I'm glad my spell checker knows how to spell 'necrophilia') You can't see MAKING IT HANDMADE! because it is totally sold out. Filmmaker Anna Brownfield says, “I wanted to show that craft was no longer daggy but had moved into a new era and was being reclaimed by women who had been brought up as feminists.” Sounds like heaps of fun, hopefully it will screen in Sydney. They are also showing Shaun Tan's THE LOST THING at the MIFF, but guess who saw it a month ago at a library conference....ok, no awards if ya get it...I'll just say that if you get a chance, go and see it :)

Warm up those ovens
Less than one month till Cupcake Day. Time to get baking. And please, when baking, think about the eggs you use in your culinary creations.

Vegas Wedding #2
Ten years ago we were married in Vegas so when we started planning this trip we decided to go back and renew our vows. This shot was taken by the chapel photographer. (And yes that is the dress)

Three things (U.S. food version)
Recipes to master:
1. Mole sauce (anyone have a favourite?)
2. Diner style hash browns (without the use of lard)
3. Chicago style deep dish pizza (good thing I have Cinnamon's book)

Should you happen to pick up a copy of the new book Symbols of Australia: Uncovering the Stories Behind the Myths be sure to flick to page 191 and check out the awesome photo in the lower right hand corner. You might just recognise the image.
Colour me chuffed.
