This past week I made my first ciabatta loaves from scratch. So we’ve been enjoying homemade ciabatta all week. My second attempt is proving as I write this.

Falafel – nom nom nom
Posted in Lunch, Middle Eastern, Pulses on 02/16/2010 04:02 pm by Suziwong
I know deep fried foods aren’t healthy, but OMG I love falafel and if they’re in the fridge I’ll eat them daily. With the exception of the frying they are incredibly healthy. The main ingredient is chickpeas and if you’re a diabetic you’ll already know they’re low GI which is important in keeping your blood glucose levels low and stable. I love nothing more than to eat my falafel smeared with labna. You can find my labna recipe here
Jumbuck Sanga

The Aussies who read my blog will know what a jumbuck sanga is…Jumbuck is a sheep; a large sheep or one that is unruly and is possibly difficult to shear and a sanga is slang for sandwich. Therefore i’m taking some very loose definitions and applying them to a roast lamb sandwich 
Jumbuck is a generic Aboriginal word for cloud. I say generic because there are hundreds of Indigenous Australian languages in Australia. Apparently during the European invasion, the Indigenous Australians saw the sheep that the Europeans brought with them and thought they looked like clouds and thus called them jumbucks.
Lazy lunches and good friends
Posted in Lunch, family on 02/21/2007 06:01 pm by SuziwongMy good friend Jenny came to Adelaide this past weekend…it was wonderful to see her and and spend time together catching up. On Sunday we drove up thorugh the Barossa Valley and stopped for lunch at my favourite spot; the Pheasant Farm Shop. This photo is of Jenny and Caitlin enjoying the serenity. On Friday night we went to Central Markets to have dinner at Lucia’s and then went to the Chocolate Bean for dessert (Hazelnut tart to die for) and coffee. It’s a wonder any food got into any mouths as we were talking non-stop for hours!
I love summer…(and dread winter)…the wonderful flowers in bloom and the great weather. The red flower photo was taken outside the Pheasant Farm Shop and the yellow flowers were taken inside.
The time with Jenny went far too quick; which is always the case when catching up with friends who live with distance between them. Email/blogs/msn etc are all wonderful technologies to help keep friendships close, but nothing beats the real McCoy of being together. Many of my friendships are long distance relationships as we are a very mobile family; so it’s even more special when i get together with my long distance friends. Jenny: thanks for coming, we all had a wonderful time and will miss you until we see you again. I miss all of my long distance friends and look forward to many more get-togethers!
