White Chocolate Fudge with Brownie Chunks - Blog Entry

Oh Cathy - I'm with Diane. Your recipies get inside my head and won't leave me alone. I will resist, I will resist. I am thin and healthy. I am in love with lettuce leaves and raw carrot. Nah - the positive affirmations are not working! I'm cooking for a b'day party on the weekend so white chock fudge with brownie chunks may just have to make the list.

I would pay nothing because I'm too poor!!! But, hats off to Oprah and Maya. Both are survivors of child sexual abuse. Maya's poetry is potent, brilliant. I support their causes from afar. Each woman has done an amazing amount of excellent work in raising the profile and shattering the silence around sexual abuse - if only Oprah would include my children's book on her reading list!!!!! I sent it to her but have never heard anything back.

This is the sort of thing I would visit. Not so much for the ghosts but for the social history ascribed. I missed visiting the Winchester house when I was in the States and the desire to see it has never left. Interesting article for us longing to visit again Libby.

My hair brushed - that's actually my fantasy. I long for the day that someone picks up a brush and does my hair for me. After Hawaii, why not come to Cairns! My hair is very long and curly and I NEVER brush it (I can't). Despite not being able to, I still yearn for someone else doing it.

Well thank you Gwillum Mum. I feel very comfortable with families.com swooping immediately should any photographs be found to have been used innapropriately. It's a hard slog raising these issues though. Some days I could just run off and be normal!!!!!!!

Ohhh - that sounds like my kind of place (I could double as either the cow or the dinosaur) to hang out. I lOVE that sort of thing. We have a lot of living museums and interactive displays here. Kids can handle sea anenomes, live shells, coral, ect. I used to love touching the sea sponges so that they would spit at my kids. I'm surprised I was never asked to leave for being the naughtiest mother there.

Tristi thank you for doing such a great review of my book. I was glad to read that you picked up on the symbolism. Protective metaphors reign supreme throughout the story line and plot. Lovely review. Thank you.

We don't celebrate Valentines day because we hate the commercialism of it. Instead, on Feb 14th, he pulls a month out of a hat, and I pull a day out of another. That date becomes our day - I have even taken the day off work in previous years to do the special preparations for the evenings celebration. We love it.

We also have a 24 yr tradition of putting the Christmas tree up on my birthday, Dec 2. The kids never forget that's the day of rediscovering Chrissy deco's and food planning for all the "do drop in" visitors over the next few weeks.

Valorie I've got to tell you that your blogs have been amazingly helpful to us. Thank you. I don't always have the time to leave a response but that doesn't mean I'm not reading and printing them out to cross refer to. It was a pleasure and a honor for me to guest blog in home schooling and I hope the Aussie slanguage at least provided a few laughs. Horoo (yet another Aussie salutation - means, "bye", or "see ya").
