I don't go to chocolate buddah due to a previous bad experience.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-48960616049679296062013-07-26T11:43:37.227+10:002013-07-26T11:43:37.227+10:00She is really growing isn't she!

This soup sounds like a lovely recipe. <br /><br />Scratch and sniff computers sound like fun - I wonder how much drooling over keyboards there would be!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-3866314062483234442013-07-25T20:24:15.597+10:002013-07-25T20:24:15.597+10:00E got a black eye at the dentist?!

I think you will have some convincing to do with Sylvia ;) <br /><br />I love your photos of the helix tree and think that over-priced pizza is justified when you get views like that. I would prefer any of your weekend meals though, and your scones might not be up to old fashioned standards, but they look and sound good to me.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-53286896365881233062013-07-25T11:55:44.121+10:002013-07-25T11:55:44.121+10:00I'm hanging out for the Flinders reno details ...I'm hanging out for the Flinders reno details too. If they mess it up I'm going to cry *fingers crossed* I think it could just do with a clean and fixing the things that are broken really... plus, if they disrupt my commute for too long it's not going to go down well.<br /><br />I was tossing up whether to include my photos of the helix tree in my last post but I'm glad I didn't now! How much fun is it? I think I may have embarrassed my hubs by running around in the rain at night playing with it but it was so much fun!<br /><br />We usually go to chocolate buddha just over the other side of fed square to avoid the crazy prices. You can get organic edamame or a huge bowl of veg noodle soup or rice and tofu that's big enough to share.<br />Your food looks great too! xCVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403901285425267132noreply@blogger.com
