Autumn To Do List Summary

Published by

As the Autumn season draws to a close it’s hard to believe we’re almost June already. The next few months will fly by and once the silly season hits, it will be over once again. I have this weird sensation over the last few months, that we are hurtling. Time won’t sit still. I feel like I’m in a shopping trolley that’s crashing down a steep hill. The flat nowhere in sight. I want some stillness. Being in Thailand and Laos over the last 4 weeks has been a good mix of stop and go. It’s been hot. Real hot. Not long now until we come home to the emergence of winter. This Autumn as been great. Auckland has had many warm, sunny days. Easter for example was all promise of torrential rain, but turned out to be beautiful blue skies all long weekend. Autumn fashion is hawt. I like tailored stuff more than showing skin. Tailored coats and cute jackets. Smart hats and sexy boots. Dresses, tights and colourful scarves. This Autumn, I wrote …

Food My Friend is my friend

The sweet and talented Cass from the blog FoodmyFriend recently awarded this blog with a Versatile Blogger Award. She lives just over in Sydney, Australia and it’s nice to read her blog because it’s always the correct season for me. She has a lop earred princess called Flatpac and any friend of the lop is a friend of mine. When given this award, bloggers are asked to do three things – link back to the blog that gave them the award, list seven things about themselves and finally, give the award to five others. 7 Things About Me I’ve only ever kept bunnies as pets and have outlived 6 bunnies. When I was a kid I wanted to be an architect. In my last year of high school, I was awarded a scholarship to study anything at a local university. I picked graphic design. I folded 1000 paper cranes for our wedding day. I can’t drive. It takes me 12 minutes to walk to and from work. I’ve visited 10 countries in the last 10 years. …

A Cheated Summer In Review

Published by

Summer is officially over. It has rained heaps this summer. Tomatoes have loved it. The rest of us have grumbled. Still we made the most of what we had and I managed to ticked off 7 out of 10 items on my Summer To Do list. Here’s a the summer summary of my to do list: 1. Have a picnic at the beach It wasn’t the picnic to beat all picnics, but hey, it was a picnic at the beach, a marine reserve in fact. There was still hot free range roast chicken, salads and breads before and after snorkeling. Like a comforting farmhouse meal only at the beach. Read about it here. There were no other picnics in our summer, but we did have plenty of BBQs in our backyard. So many that we ran out of gas. Must remember to refill that thing… With the funny weather we are having, I wouldn’t be surprised if we are able to squeeze in a picnic or two before the end of April. 2. Grow mint …

2012 More and Less

Published by

I really liked Amber from Code For Something’s More/Less resolutions. So I drew some bunnies and figured out 5 each of my own. Just to prove that I mean this list, I got the first haircut of the year yesterday and went to the library and got out 2 books. They’re both food related so expect some more book reviews coming up in the mix.

Bunny Eats Design top posts for 2011

Published by

It’s interesting to know what you are interested in around here, so I thought I should make use of the great stat tools on WordPress.com. It was actually really easy to see what you like. The top post this year (by a landslide) with over 3,000 hits since September is this post on the secret to making Vietnamese spring rolls. The second most popular post this year is this picture of Tofu and Buddha. With over 1,000 hits since January. Third in is this mid-year post on Beef Noodle Soup with about 800 hits. It’s not so suprising that that all the top 3 posts this year have a South-East Asian theme. I love this part of the world and hope to go back real soon.

Happy December!

Summer’s here. It’s really here. There’s so many things to love about summer and it seems that the weather naturally puts people in a great mood. The start of summer in Auckland is lovely – before it gets too humid. I love the late sunsets, coming home in the afternoon and enjoying a drink on the deck, summer festivals, late nights, camping, baches, local beach missions after work, weekend further afield beach adventures…It’s not quite warm enough to swim yet, but give it a couple of weeks. I have been caught off-guard by the fierce sun already. One afternoon in the sun a week ago and my shoulders are peeling. No doubt there will be many feasts over the summer with outdoor barbecues, picnics as well as Christmas parties galore. We’ve got company Christmas party to look forward tonight complete with Christmas buffet and 2 hour comedy show. I think it’s nice to get Christmas parties done early and out of the way. No doubt we will be invited to other Christmas parties and events this month. …

Best Blog

Published by

Sarah-Rose from Eat, Bake, Love awarded my blog with a best blog award. I also enjoy her blog and while I’m not much of a baker, but I can certainly appreciate eating and loving. Basically you have to answer a few questions about yourself and award 15 blogs with the best blog award and perhaps send a note to let the others know they have also been awarded. The Questions Whats your favourite colour? It used to be red, but now I think it must be purple. Whats your favourite song? Feeling Good by Nina Simone. What is your favourite dessert? I’m not a sweet tooth, but I’m a sucker for cheesecake. Mum used to make cheesecake in a big roasting tray. But she stopped when she realised that I was pretty much eating the whole thing by myself. Whats pissing you off? The rain. When you’re upset you… Get a headache and want to go to bed. Black OR white? Black, but with a white fluffy rabbit, white would be a much wiser choice. Biggest …
