The photos of the human torso is from the one of the dances that we watched - I had other photos I loved but the Aboriginal culture has some taboos around photos so I hoped that this would be acceptable rather than using more identifiable photos - especially as I try not to feature faces of people I know on the blog.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-44866526125652848342012-02-22T22:35:44.697+11:002012-02-22T22:35:44.697+11:00Thanks Ashley - highly recommend it - bump it up t...Thanks Ashley - highly recommend it - bump it up the to-make list - I would love to hear what you thinkJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69233438744992406322012-02-22T16:50:18.771+11:002012-02-22T16:50:18.771+11:00I have read your post with interest.

The recipe is intriguing and I am glad Sylvia forwent the macaroon in favor of a piece of slice :)<br />I am very attracted to:<br />- the photo with one piece of our slice on the plate: the plate has a busy decoration and I feel like the piece of slice is trying to find its place among all the things depicted on the plate: it's fascinating<br />- the human torso: what a great photo!
