Yes there was a vegan food truck and when we went to nearby Barwon Heads (separated from Ocean Grove by a bridge) they had a pop up cart with raw desserts and raw pad thai - not every place in Ocean Grove is quite to veg friendly but nice to see a few aboutJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69147345109213285192015-01-26T21:36:12.654+11:002015-01-26T21:36:12.654+11:00Thanks Lorraine - I made them late at night when I...Thanks Lorraine - I made them late at night when I was a bit too tired to think it through but I did find it helped to add more coconut - I think I would add a bit more next time - though they did firm up in the fridgeJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-25586640960495573532015-01-26T21:35:13.295+11:002015-01-26T21:35:13.295+11:00Thanks Kari - I think it was probably better than ...Thanks Kari - I think it was probably better than the scorching weather last year but I missed everyone wanting to go to the beach - and we probably had more sun during our time away than many brits get on holidays in the UK :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69555703526529552822015-01-26T21:33:49.594+11:002015-01-26T21:33:49.594+11:00Thanks Charlie - rain is not so bad when it is war...Thanks Charlie - rain is not so bad when it is warm but sunshine is so lovely on a holiday - we had wind more than rain - I missed they day the family had it rain on them but it was so cold stepping out of the water when it was windy.

I love unplugging, but agree that it is tough to get back on track with emails and blogging. <br />I can't believe how much veg-friendly food there is everywhere you are! A vegan food truck? Just wow. <br />Your chocolate bliss balls sound... well, blissful =) I have made dateballs so many times and so many different ways but have never thought of using banana. I think I will actually try them without the cranberry and put the mixture through my food processor.

You packed a lot into your time and the activities and time with family sound like quintessential Australian summer (and the cold weather part sounds like quintessential Victorian summer too!). I actually have never made Nigella's bliss balls - thanks for reminding me to try and get to them.

I made something similar in nature and process to the Bliss Balls last year which were amazing and I now have a regular stash in the freezer.... perfect for breakfast and snacks. I reckon they might be worth a go with Sylvia! I called them freeze bites, but they can be eaten unfrozen and even squashed and baked into biscuits!
