Listography - 5 things that are better than One Direction

I  have to say my heart skipped a beat when I was going through my feed reader and saw a blog post from the lovely Kate at Kate Takes 5 and I saw that Listography was back! Listography you ask? Kate had Listography going for a while there, back when I started blogging and it was always good for a laugh. How could you forget such great topics as top 5 biscuits or top 5 guilty pleasures or top 5 famous folk I used to fancy. They were always good for a laugh and people from all over the world linked up. I made some wonderful friends (including Kate) through Listography. So this week's topic is 5 things that are better than One Direction. Not that this is a problem for me and my children. They aren't fans but if its not One Direction it will be some other boppy boy band no doubt. Here's what I hope will be better than falling for One Direction, or any other boy band for that matter, for my children.

1.  Your first holiday away from your parents

I can remember having worked for a while and going with my boyfriend to the Great Barrier Reef island of Dunk Island, by plane! It was the first time I'd been on a plane and I felt very, very grown up and very independent. The highlight was discovering margueritas and instilled a love of holidaying and travel.

2.  The first kiss

Not the first peck but the first 'real' kiss. There'll be plenty of talk about it with the girls on what to expect and knowing what to do but when you actually do it for the first time you wonder what the hell people like about it. I remember my first real kiss happened in the cinema watching "Grease" when it first came out. I was more interested in seeing the movie than having a kink in my neck and be slobbered all over my face by a hormonal 13 year old boy! (Little did I know I'd go on to see the movie about 1,000 more times anyway.)

3.  Your first serious rock concert

I don't mean the one that your Mum or Dad come with you or drop you off at. The first real one you go to with your work mates. I can remember going with the girls across the road to see "Sherbert", an Australian rock band back in the 1970's. The girl's Dad dropped us off and picked us up. I would've only been about 12 or 13. My first serious rock concert was "The Ramones" with some girls I worked with. Let's just say I was trying to keep up with them drinking and was a little sick by the end of the night.

4.  Moving in with your partner for the first time

 

I say the 'first' time because I did it a few times. I moved in with a few guys in my time but there was nothing better than the first time. Its the first time you get to 'play house' and use all the things you've had put away from your 18th and 21st birthdays. Cooking dinner, going for Sunday morning breakfasts, then reading the papers, parties with friends and going to the grocery store etc.  (Then you find out what living with a guy's really like!)  Things are pretty different nowadays with kids staying home longer and longer and both of mine have said they'll live with me forever but I've got news for them and its all bad! That's what this blog is all about. They'll have no excuses not knowing what to cook or how to keep house or save money. Here's hoping!

5.  Doing your first grocery shop

 

I don't quite remember this but I'm sure it would've been very liberating. Even now, there's something about buying exactly what you want without your Mum saying you can eat this or can't eat that. I tell my kids that all the time when they ask me to buy something specific. I tell them when they're old enough to have their own place and do their own grocery shopping, they can buy what they want then.

 

 

 

So there you have it. Admittedly "Bay City Rollers" were my "One Direction" when I was a teenager and if someone would've told me there's more to life than listening to them, I would've just screamed! Go and check out what everyone else is posting at Kate Takes 5. And Kate, welcome back.

 

PS When I went looking for images for this post One Direction photos kept popping up for "first kiss" and "concert". Eeeeek! And there's heaps of info when you Google on how to kiss for the first time. Bigger eeeeeeek!)

Listography: Top 5 songs I grew up to

I love a good Listography but I love a music Listography even better. Kate from Kate Takes 5 has been busy competing in a triathalon, working her way up to compete for the Irish Triathalon team in Rio in 2016. Go Kate! She's back to bloggy business and Listography is back for another week. I'm going back, right back to the very first songs I can remember being interested in. I wonder if my 7 year old daughter will look back to Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen and the Chipmunks the way I look back at my earliest music memories? Heaven help her.

 

1.  "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?" by Dionne Warwick

My earliest memories of liking music are sitting at the breakfast table and Mum would have the radio on. Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach were all the rage in the late 60's.

 

2.  "Little Arrows" by Leapy Lee

I can remember thinking my cousins (all boys, a couple years older than us) having really cool taste in music and this was one they had just bought on a single. Every time we visited we asked them to play it. Looking at that clip, I'm cringing just a little bit.

3. "The Wild One" by Suzi Quatro

One of the first ever birthday parties I went to, they were playing this song over and over again, again on a single on an actual record player. All the really cool people had one. We even had a record player.

4. "Bye Bye Baby" by The Bay City Rollers

I could have put any of The Bay City Rollers' songs in here and it would've been my favourite. Just watching the clip gave my heart a little flutter. I was so, so in love with these guys as a young girl. Why, I don't really know.

5. "Roll Over Lay Down" by Status Quo

The local horse race track (Eagle Farm for those in Brisbane) used to hold an annual kid's Christmas party with rides, food and a kid's disco. This was one of my favourites they played. We all loved Status Quo and I'm sure us kids were the original air guitar heroes of the day. I'm not sure "roll over lay down and let me in" were the best lyrics to be letting an innocent 9 year old listen to but I didn't have a clue back then.

So there you have it. A bit of a mixture. I'd pretty much say the above are still pretty much liked, except maybe "Little Arrows". What was I thinking? Thanks Kate for another great Listography. I expect there'll be quite a few classics in this lot. Head over to Kate Takes 5 for a look to see what everyone else has linked up.

Listography - Top 5 things about the summer holidays

The resort pool at Noosa we stayed at last summer.

Kate from Kate Takes 5 thinks she's pretty good, starting Listography back with the top 5 things about the summer holidays when she's just got back from a long and lazy jaunt in Spain. Some people have all the luck. Here we are in Australia, fighting colds and flus, all rugged up and all we can do is but dream of summer. Thanks Kate! For my own good, I'll try and remember the good things about the summer holidays. Heaven knows it'll be here before we know it.

1.  No school for 8 (or so) weeks

I'm like you Kate. Not having to be anywhere at any particular time suits me just fine. One thing I do remember about my childhood is not being the best at getting up early in the morning and that's stuck with me my entire life. Unfortunately/fortunately my children have inherited this quality from me and it works really well when there's no school. We can all enjoy a sleep in. The only thing we have to worry about is which swimming pool or beach we're going to for the day.

2.  It's Christmas Time

The southern hemisphere has the added bonus of enjoying Christmas and all that goes with it during the summer holidays. Santa at every shopping centre, Christmas parties, Christmas carols, dodging evening summer storms so we can catch the Christmas lights in the neighbourhood and then the ultimate visit from the big red guy. A wonderful summer holiday tradition.

3.  Being able to just potter

Now that the kids are getting older, they're really good at coming up with games that go for hours, if not days, just like I did when I was young. This coming summer will be my son's first official big summer holiday from his first year of school and I know he is looking so forward to it. We've got a short 2 week break coming up in September and then he'll have to hang on until early December. Hopefully, I'll just be able to potter around the house and still enjoy my cup of tea in peace and maybe a good book. (Please?)

4.  Casual dining

Best thing about summer, sleeping in and going to the beach is the 'no set time' meal policy. Breakfast could be at 9am, lunch could be something quickly thrown together and had at the beach and dinner usually consists of some kind of grilled or cold meat and salad. None of these strict set meal times like when school's in. Having cold fruit, ice for cold drinks, snack foods etc on hand just to throw a quick picnic basket together is perfect for a lazy day at the beach. Alternatively, we love to get a couple dollar's worth of hot chips to munch on. There's always the ice cream on the way home too.

5.  Back to school sales

The post Christmas, back to school sales signal that school returns at the end of January for another year and you'll get your life back. The kids may live a little longer and not kill each other by about this time and you're busy covering books, marking pens and pencils, all in readiness for those little angels of mine to get back to school, and do it all again for another year.

Thanks Kate for a long awaited Listography. It's been a while. Hope you'll be thinking of me this coming Christmas and while you guys are rugging up for winter, I'll be sweltering, trying to catch the breez at the beach. Check out what everyone elses top things about summer holidays are at Kate Takes 5.

Listography - Top 5 things I love about my kids

The lovely Kate from Kate Takes 5 is back. She's put aside her "Name That Tune" and other ramblings for our very favourite Listography series. (Just kidding Kate. I love everything that you write but I just love Listography.) This week it's the top 5 things we love about kids. I have to say that I'm not too keen on other people's kids, just my own so I've added the word 'my' to the post title. I like a lot of things about my kids and there's a lot of things I don't like about them (there's another Listography right there Kate) so here goes.

1.  Tiny Toes

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing my kid's toes. No, I don't have a foot fetish but I love those tiny little balls of soft, pale pink jelly. I love when they've been playing in the dirt and it's all caught in between their toes and you've got to scrub like crazy. We've got a running joke about the way their little toes 'hook' under and I say I'm going to use them to catch a fish. They think it's hilarious.

2.  Whey they cry (sometimes)

My daughter had colic when she was a baby and cried from 4pm until 7pm every day for about 6 months. I thought there could be nothing worse. Now that they are 7 and 5, I find I become very empathetic to their cries. They seem more meaningful and their feelings have really been genuinely hurt or they've really physically hurt themselves. There's the cry my daughter does when she's bumped her head when she's trying to be cool and I ask "are you okay?" and she says "no" and starts crying. Or the cry my son does when his sister has smashed one of his Lego creations and he's really, really sad. I just say "oh darling, come here". Just another excuse for a cuddle.

3. A good belly laugh

As they have grown, it's great to see the things that make them laugh. I mean really laugh. That good old, full on belly laugh. There's nothing cuter. I just laugh at them laughing.

4.  Toilet humour

Okay, sometimes it gets a bit much but it gives them so much pleasure and they think it's absolutely hilarious so I go along with it. At any opportunity he can get, my son will 'blow raspberries' on my skin which makes loud noises and he thinks it's so funny. Either of them will have something 'really important' to tell me and it could contain the words 'poo, wee or bum' and they think they'll have told the funniest joke. Hopefully it won't last too much longer but while it's still happening, I'll enjoy their humour.

5.  Their unconditional love for me

At 7 years of age, my daughter has said a couple times that she hates me and storms off, saying she's going to run away. I let her cool down, go into her room, don't say a word, she just looks at me and says "I love you Mum". They never expect anything for this love other than being their Mum (oh and a whole lot of Lego). Just kidding. There's never any conditions set by them in order for them to tell me love they love me. It's just natural. This might change over the years to come but if I keep going the way I have been, I hope they will know that my love for them is unconditional.

Thanks Kate for a wonderful Listography this week. I was starting to have Listography withdrawls. Go on over to Kate's web site and check out what everyone else loves about kids, theirs or others.

Listography: Top 5 wishes for my child

[photo source]

Kate from Kate Takes 5 has picked a good topic this week. I think about this all the time for both my daughter and son. I probably think more about it for my daughter as she is very sensitive and has already been bullied at school. The world (or the people in it) can be ruthless and sometimes I think she'll get eaten up alive.

All I hope for my son is that he is kind to people, kind to women, is always faithful, ambitious, a good provider, gentle, loving, helps around the house (hang on, I think that's more than 5 - I better stop there). And now for my daughter.

[photo source]

1.  Can handle confrontation

One thing I just cannot do is handle confrontation. I get nervous, shake, avoid the situation totally and just keep things bottled up. I want her to always be able to stand up for herself, speak her mind, have her opinions heard and do this without fear. I'm not sure how I can teach her. Maybe I'll get my son to teach us both. He doesn't have any problems.

2.  Understand that beauty comes from within

When I was a teenager, sure I read a few teen magazines and wanted to wear makeup (not very well I might add) but I didn't have any problem with body image or how I looked in a particular outfit. I was too busy playing sport. My Mum and Dad never wanted us to wear makeup and they taught us how to treat people the way you want to be treated. If you do this, people will like you no matter what you look like on the outside. So far, so good with her.

[photo source]

3.  Say no to a relationship that isn't right

I'm still trying to work this one out after failed relationship after failed relationship. You think you know someone and you think it will be forever. You do everything in your power to make it work but get nothing in return. In hindsight, I heard the alarm bells ringing but didn't walk away. I want my daughter to be able to trust her instincts and never settle for something that isn't right. I'm losing faith as far as a relationship lasting forever is concerned. Maybe that might be a thing of the past when my daughter is an adult.

[photo source]

4.  Never follow the crowd

Always be an individual. Never think you have to watch a particular TV program, wear a certain style, drive a certain car or go to a certain place to be cool. I've always thought I've done my own thing and never been any worse for it. It's who you are and you should always be proud of that and do and like what you want (all within the law of course).

[photo source]

5.  Learn to pick up the pieces and move on

It seems every man and his dog has some sort of depression related illness these days. Some can choose to get treatment for it and turn your life around or you can live your life sad and upset all the time, bringing everyone else around you down. I hope she sees that if things aren't quite right with your mental health, to look for help in the right places and learn how to pick up the pieces and move on when things get a bit tough. There's a lot to enjoy in life, as hard as it might seem sometimes. Life doesn't always give you an easy road to walk on but you need to get over those bumps and hurdles and keep going.



Thanks Kate for the opportunity. I always wanted to write something like this on the blog for my daughter (and my son to read). I might have to write the top 10 ways on how to treat a woman right for him later on. Check out what everyone else wishes for their children at Kate Takes 5.

Listography: Top 5 albums by a male solo artist

It's been a few weeks since I've joined in on Kate's Listography from Kate Takes 5, but I just can't resist this week. As you may know, I just love music and have such a varied taste. This is going to be hard to narrow it down to 5 albums by a male solo artist, but here goes.

1.  "Sign o' the Times" - Prince

The 80's were a heady time for me. One minute I was playing the guitar along to Bob Dylan or Neil Young and the next minute I was bopping along to the latest Madonna song in some nightclub or a rockin' Aussie band at the local. I used to press rewind on the old in-car cassette player whenever "Sign o' the Times" came on. I loved this entire album and still do AND I've just heard Prince is touring in May. Can't wait to see him.



2.  "Decade" by Neil Young

Trying to narrow it down to just one favourite Neil Young album is difficult. I love all of his work. "Decade" is a compilation album and has all of my favourites like "Cinnamon Girl", "Sugar Mountain", "Helpless" and the list goes on. Great memories for me.

3.  "Are You Experienced" - Jimi Hendrix

Ultimately the original 'guitar hero' of our generation and a great loss to the music world, way before his time. This album has the classics "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe" and "The Wind Cries Mary" as well as many others. (This album is by "The Jimi Hendrix Experience", the band, but it's on my list of male solo artists, just because.)

4.  "For the Working Class Man" - Jimmy Barnes

Jimmy Barnes was/is the lead singer of one of Australia's legendary rock bands "Cold Chisel" and this was his second solo album after leaving the band. There was many a party had back in the 80's when this album was released and nearly every one of the songs on this album went on to become a hit. If you're an Aussie, you'll remember this and love it as I do/did.

5.  "Otis Redding - The Definitive Collection" - Otis Redding

I couldn't go without mentioning one of my all time faves, Otis Redding. You could pick any album of his (not that there was many before he left us) but they've all got such classics as "Dock of the Bay", "Try a Little Tenderness" and "My Girl" on any one of them. This album has them all. He was just the coolest!

And just because I couldn't leave Iggy Pop out, here's one of my favourites I'll leave you with from his album "Blah Blah Blah". Thanks Kate for another great topic. Check out what everyone else has on their lists.

Listography: Top 5 cookbooks

Kate from Kate Takes 5 is singing my song this week with her Listography. I've been so slack the last two weeks and not linked up due to life getting in my way (and me taking photos without a flash card in the camera) so I will not miss out this week. It's going to be hard to keep it at five Kate but here goes.

1.  Day to Day Cookery - I M Downes

Not necessarily my most favourite cookbook but definitely my most used and one that I refer to often for baking and basic recipes. This was my high school Home Economics text book and I've still got the same copy from over 20 years ago (oh my gosh, that long ago). It has all your favourite cookies, cakes, sauces, sweets, batters, puddings and right back to basics for salads, sandwiches, breads etc. An ideal book for someone just starting out.



2.  Country Classics - A collection of recipes from the Country Women's Association

The Country Women's Association (or CWA) is an organisation here in Australian, run by women, which aims to improve the lives of women, children and families throughout rural and remote Australia. They have been around for nearly 100 years and women from all over Australia have contributed the most gorgeous recipes for cakes, jams, biscuits, main meals, sweets, sauces, puddings etc to this cookbook. This is a collection of some of my favourite recipes. I also have the CWA 'bible', The CWA Cookery Book and Household Hints but prefer the "Country Classics" for every day cooking.

3.  Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes

I have quite a few favourite chefs from overseas. Alain Ducasse (UK/France), Michel Roux Jnr (UK), Jamie Oliver (UK), Heston Blumenthal (UK), René Redzepi (Denmark), Mario Batali (US), Lidia Bastianich (US), just to name a few, as well as many Australian chefs but there's something about Rick Stein I love. I love Mediterranean food, especially Italian food, and this cookbook of his covers just a few of the basics from all of the Mediterranean region. He has such a way with keeping things simple but bringing out the best flavour of the freshest produce, what I love.

4.  Country Classic Collection by Lady Flo Bjelke-Petersen

"Lady Flo", as she is also known, is famous for her pumpkin scones.  I've cooked them and many other things from this cookbook. It's full of lovely home cooked recipes for meals and baked goods. There's no pretty pictures, just recipes chocked full of homely goodness. There's also a section at the back full of home hints. By the way, Lady Flo was the wife of Queensland's longest serving State Premier, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

5.  The Complete Margaret Fulton Cookbook

Margaret Fulton is an Australian living legend. She first brought the world of international cuisine to Australia back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. This was my first ever cookbook I bought as a 'grown up' in my late teens. I don't refer to it as much anymore. Most of the things are very retro and still great to make but I keep it as a reminder of my just how my cooking journey began.

I also have my folder full of 'torn out' recipes and my Nanna's favourite recipes she hand wrote in an exercise book which are also my favourites plus a few others but the above 5 are on the top of my list.  Why not check out everyone elses favourites over at Kate Takes 5. Check for Amazon promotional codes for cookbooks and find your favorite.

  

Listography - Mugs

I'm being a mug this week and embracing the weirdness (Kate's words) for my wee Irish rose's Listography at Kate Takes 5. She's pulled out all the stops this week to come up with a topic and I have to say I'm just as weird you Kate. I too have different mugs for different occasions but at the same time I don't like having a whole lot of different mugs in my cupboard. Weird, I know! So here they are.

My every day mug for coffee or tea. I managed to pick up a set of six of these from a local car boot sale for 50 cents each a little while back.

My evening bone china mug for tea. I have been known to use this for morning tea sometimes.

At teapot on top and cup and saucer underneath which I use for leaf tea at those times when I've got a lot of time, which doesn't happen all that often.

And one of the bone china tea cup and saucer sets of my Nanna's which I enjoy on a special occasion or for a herbal tea.

So there you have it. Thanks Kate. I just hope everyone else is as weird as us. Head on over to Kate Takes 5 to see.

Listography - Top 5 phrases that drive me crazy

Well, I've done it now. I've been named and shamed by the lovely Kate for commenting on the Listography topics. That'll teach me to have a whinge! Don't worry Kate. I love all your Listography topics. This week she's picked a beauty. I'm often thinking "ooooh, I hate that phrase", especially when it comes to Twitter/Facebook/bloggy speak. I hate it. Call me old fashioned or just not with it, but I just don't like it. If you say it, don't be offended. You can say whatever you like. You'll just never find me saying it.

1.  "You know what I mean?"

I've got a really dear friend of the family who's said this all her life. She says it after just about everything she says. Just about drives me balmy but I still love her.

2.  "Your call is very important to us."

If my call was very important to them, I'd be speaking to someone, not on hold for 45 minutes.

3.  Tweeps / Peeps

Not exactly a phrase but not exactly a word either. I'm just not fond of it. We're people, people!

4.  Mofo

I'm not a prude but I'm not much of a swearer. I don't think disguising swear words is any better than using the real words but hey, that's just me. I just don't like this one very much at all.

5.  "That's so random."

I realise that quick phrases and words aren't supposed to make sense but some are just ridiculous and this is one of them. I don't like the use of 'random' used randomly! (Now that definitely doesn't make sense!)

Okay Kate. There you go another brilliant topic for our Listography this week. I'll never put my two cents worth in on the topics anymore. I promise. You're a real trooper to come up with a different topic each week. I wouldn't like that job. You're just so random! (Love you to bits Kate.) Head on over to Kate Takes 5 and see the other totally random submissions and I'll stop using the word random.

Listography: Top 5 websites

I think Kate from Kate Takes 5 might be getting a little serious with her choice for Listography subjects. Serious or she's taking on a role as web designer or social media mogul. The week before last it was blogging tips. Come on Kate. What happened to the good old topics like games I used to play or my top 5 guilty pleasures. Just kidding Kate. I love linking up each week, time permitting. Gives me 5 minutes to think about 5 things I like.

1.  Hotmail.com

This is what I open first every day. It has every email account I own and it keeps me in touch with everyone and everything that's going on in my life, like my blog, who's commented, sponsorship deals (just kidding) and emails from friends.

2.  Google Reader

This is the second web site I go to. My favourite past time is reading other people's blogs, that is food and craft blogs and I love to see what everyone's been up to. I've also made a lot of friends in blog world and I love having that insight into their daily lives. I should also say I spend too much time reading other people's blogs.

3.  Facebook

Even though I don't really like Facebook, I find it's a necessary evil. I have a fan page set up for my blog and I like to check every morning if anyone's commented or liked something I've linked up on Facebook. I do like keeping in touch with friends who I don't see on a regular basis. But I really don't have any time for Facebook at all.

4.  zenhabits.net by Leo Babauta

I love all the blogs I have in my reader but if I see a post by Leo Babauta from zen habits first thing in the morning, I feel like I have some inspirational words to get me through the day. He always seems to say the right thing on a day when I need it, for example reducing clutter or keeping motivated.

5.  www.foodsubs.com- Cook's Thesaurus

Okay, so I might not visit this web site every morning or every day for that matter but it's one of my favourites. It's how I can cook what I cook. Not having every ingredient I need for a recipe never stops me from cooking it because of this site. There is practically a substitution for every ingredient for every recipe. I love it and it's one of my most used web sites.

So there you are Kate. Hope you don't take my earlier comment serious. Who knows? You might be asking for our top 5 underwear patterns or top 5 cheeses or something, although you know I'd love to tell you what my top 5 cheeses are! Head over to Kate's blog to see what everyone else is saying.

Listography: Top 5 biscuits

[photo source]

Biscuits (or cookies) are up for discussion this week in Kate's Listography at Kate Takes 5. I love nothing nicer than a biscuit with a cup of tea but I'm not a dunker. I can think of nothing worse than biting into a soggy biscuit. Also, am I the only person in the world who thinks Tim Tams are overrated? I think I might be. I've already seen them pop up on Kate's Top 5 list. I don't think they're all that special, really. Here's my top 5 anyway, and some are homemade.

1.  Arnott's Mint Slice

Way more exciting than an Arnott's Tim Tam is a Mint Slice. That crisp chocolate biscuit topped with cool peppermint fondant and coated in dark chocolate is just gorgeous. I can quite easily stick one of these in my mouth at a time and chomp down, disappearing in seconds which of course leads me to eating more and more until I get my fill. I did try to recreate them in a no bake Chocolate Peppermint Slice but there's really no comparison.



2.  Custard Creams, Melting Moments or Yo-Yo's

These are my favourite home made biscuit. A buttery, crumbly biscuit sandwiched together with a thick vanilla or lemon icing. I love a passionfruit version as well. Some States of Australia call them different things but most people know them as Melting Moments I guess.

[photo source]

3.  ANZAC Biscuits

All Australian kids grow up on ANZAC biscuits (or some countries might know them as an oatmeal cookie). They are oats, golden syrup, coconut and buttery. Crunchy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Everyone claims to have the best recipe but this is mine. ANZAC, which stands for Australian & New Zealand Army Corp, is supposedly what they were named after and of course Wikipedia has an entry on their history.

4.  Walker's Petticoat Tails Shortbread

I love shortbread but I particularly like this brand. It is often seen more at Christmas time and I remember we always gave our school or Sunday school teacher a tin of it. Bugger the teachers. I'd love to have a tin of this at any time of the year.

5.  Iced VoVo

There's probably not a biscuit I don't like but to make up the 5th, I've voted for the VoVo. A plain biscuit base topped with 2 sides of pink icing with a strip of jam down the centre and then topped with coconut. I don't think there's as much icing on them as there was when I was young but there's something about a good old Iced VoVo.

Thanks Kate for a great Listography this week. Anything to do with food and I'm in! Check out with all the other fine biscuit connoiseurs are up to at Kate's blog.
