I am just about to do the weekly shopping so I am so glad I decided to have a quick browse first, I will be adding cream cheese and dried apricots to the shopping list, they look delicious and the boy LOVES anything to do with cheese :)<BR/>Oh and very cute plate, display worthy even.Single White Femalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145303932348678410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-32012728714107021392009-02-06T16:30:00.001+11:002009-02-06T16:30:00.001+11:00Oh!

I also keep forgetting to mention that I tried your grubs over the holidays and they were delicious--we just didn't get a good photo of them because I tried to take it while they were still too soft! But the apricot balls sound very rich and cooling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-1386351121629184062009-02-06T13:33:00.000+11:002009-02-06T13:33:00.000+11:00Darls, happy late birthday!24 is MUCH yummier than...Darls, happy late birthday!<BR/><BR/>24 is MUCH yummier than its reverse...just thinking about the heatwave tommorrow makes me quesy...<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo - what a plate!

I did enjoy the injera which I think was cold but found the laksa (which I normally love) too much for such a night.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80037090311202701662009-02-05T16:04:00.000+11:002009-02-05T16:04:00.000+11:00A belated happy birthday to you, Johanna!

That is indeed a beautiful plate, I'm glad it eventually made its way to you. :-)<BR/><BR/>It's a shame you didn't enjoy your meal at Shakahari so much, but it was difficult to enjoy eating at all last week! I've not seen that injera entree there before and will have to go back to try it.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.com
