Worth a thousand words?

So these pictures will perhaps make up for my shocking neglect updating this blog?

Since we last blogged, I made muffins...
Superfood Muffins - see recipe below
Started classes...
Self portrait - first day of school
Saw squirrels on campus...

Made bolognese...

Made lamingtons.... And forgot to take photos.

Drank beer while watching the superbowl...


Made bread...
Whole wheat sourdough - recipe from EcoMILF
Thought about dying my hair red...
Thoughts? Feelings?
Got bogged down in work and made a mess...

How did this happen? I arrived here less than 2 months ago with NOTHING!
Made homemade pizza...
But still craving a really average Capricciosa...
Got homesick...

Found something to take the edge of homesickness...

Coopers Pale Ale - found in a New Zealand restaurant near South Street Seaport, NYC


Super Food Muffins

Blueberries, yoghurt and oats are all commonly listed as Super foods and in a bid to convince myself that eating treats could lead to better health, I decided to make muffins that combined these 3 ingredients. Sometimes I throw in a bit of LSA mix or put walnuts, which are supposed to lower bad cholesterol, on top. Adapted from a million different yoghurt/berry muffin recipes nabbed from the internet and tried and tested until this very easy recipe was settled on.


1 cup oatbran
1 cup yoghurt
1 cup blueberries
2 tbsp oil
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarb soda
pinch salt
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs


1.       1. Coat berries in dry ingredients. 
2.       2. Mix together wet ingredients. 
3.     3.   In muffin tins 180 degrees 12 – 16 minutes.
