I don’t really have time to be writing this post, but since it’s been a few days I just wanted to check in and wish everybody a merry Christmas!
It’s already 2.5 hours into Christmas Day where I am, and Tim and I have spent tonight eating a yummy roast dinner, watching the carols on TV and opening our presents. In the morning we’re going to my cousin’s house for more great food and company.
There’ll be plenty of news next time I check in, but until then have a wonderful Christmas.

Poor kid. And Britney too - she looks like she needs a big hug and a long rest from her life.
Girls, if you’re reading (and I know you are), get in touch ok? I have a spare room, and a Playstation 3. We can play Singstar in our PJ’s and brush each others’ hair.
Especially yours, Britney.
Call me.

Two of the easiest recipes ever invented - just mix all the ingredients together and leave them to set in the fridge.
Here are the recipes:
RUM BALLS
Ingredients
1 packet arrowroot biscuits (another bland, sweet biscuit would do)
3 Tbs cocoa
1 cup finely desiccated coconut
3 Tbs rum (okay, I used about 5…)
1 tin condensed milk
chocolate sprinkles, cocoa or extra coconut for rolling
Method
Crush the biscuits into fine pieces (this is where a food processor would have come in handy!) and mix the ingredients together. Shape into evenly sized balls, roll in chocolate sprinkles (or extra coconut) and refrigerate until firm.
APRICOT BALLS
Ingredients
500g diced apricots
2 cups finely desiccated coconut
1 tin condensed milk
1/2 cup of chopped macadamias or almonds
extra coconut for rolling
Method
Take it from me, buy your apricots pre-diced. Apricot balls look best when all the ingredients are chopped fairly finely, including the coconut they’re rolled in.
As above, combine all the ingredients and roll into evenly sized balls. Roll in extra coconut, and refrigerate until firm.

Tonight was spent making food for Christmas.
Want the recipe? Of course you do. Here.
INGREDIENTS
250g butter
1/3 cup castor sugar
2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup rice flour or ground rice
METHOD
Have butter at room temperature. Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with electric mixer until combined. Add large spoonfuls of sifted flours to butter mixture, beating between additions. Press ingredients together gently, knead on lightly floured surface until smooth.
Shape the dough, and bake in a slow oven for about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, and store in an airtight container. Freezing is a must, and air is their #1 enemy. Keep ‘em sealed up, and eat them straight from the freezer!

I’m sure it’s obvious what I’m hoping to get under the tree this year, but just in case…
The TwoDaLoo is billed as the world’s first toilet two people can use … at the exact same time. It brings couples closer together and conserves our water supply all with one flush. The TwoDaLoo features two side-by-side toilet seats with a modest privacy wall in between. An upgraded version includes a seven inch LCD television and iPod docking station.
(Note: Minimum Order - 12)

I don’t even need to see the rest of this movie to know that it is the best movie ever made, ever.
