Cake Eyeballs
Whoa! These turned out so good. You’ll recall that in previous years I made Buck Eye Balls, which were peanut butter balls dipped in white chocolate. This year I decided to take a page from Carbolicious Cakes (my sister’s company) and try my hand at the ubiquitous cake balls. They turned out so well! One of them fell into the chocolate completely, so we got to taste it. Eileen immediately pronounced them “so delicious!” Now we just have to NOT EAT THEM before the party.
Wow. Just looking at these 80’s scratch-n-sniff stickers immediately brought back sense memories. I distinctly remember getting the apple and popcorn ones from one of my grade school teachers. (Link courtesy of PCJM.)
The Chippendale Fresh Food Co-Op has officially launched! We’re going to sign up.
What a fantastic Halloween costume! A Real Comic Book Character. That is so cool.
My 461 bus unexpectedly terminated at Town Hall this morning because of “an accident.” I grumbled my way up Park Street towards work expecting to see some minor fender bender. Instead… taxi SMASH! Whoa! The engine block was actually sitting on the sidewalk! It was nuts. It’s a good thing it happened so early in the morning; from 8am onwards there would’ve been loads of pedestrians waiting on that corner to cross the street.
Schedule is up for this year’s Sydney Easter Show Arts comps…
And of course the Arts Show Schedule PDF takes forever to download and then is corrupt when you go to open it. Par for the course, really.
Discovered last night that Coles have orange pumpkins for like half what I paid. FML.
@Alegrya I’ve had two of those. You going to the place in Marrickville?
It’s lovely that another Guild group wants me to teach them about the ‘Net, but 9.30am on a Monday? Don’t they know some people work??
RT @VenessaHunt: Just saw a video “RSPCA Cupcake Day 2009 – Thank you!”: http://bit.ly/KLQbZ / My cookie monster cupcakes are in there!
Ah, Harvey Norman. Where you buy batteries and they print you a giant receipt on a dot matrix printer from 1994.
Shopping finished, 18 eggs hard-boiled, 39 cake balls formed, zombie doll procured…
461 driver waited til AFTER I dipped a brown ticket to tell me he was stopping at Town Hall because of an accident. The war continues.
@crumpet I am regretting putting you on my Street Team. You’re kicking ass! 🙂
This is where the Internet fails. Massive 3-car accident at Park & College, yet I can’t find details anywhere online.
@DDsD Well, partly. I want to know how an engine block ended up on the sidewalk! I need the details.
@DDsD Ask @Opheli8! I think she saw it.
Engine! On the sidewalk! (See, @DDsD?) http://twitpic.com/nbg7v
@DDsD People in the office heard details on the radio. That’s why I labelled the Internet a fail. (No car = no radio for me.)
The RSPCA have posted a Thank You video for Cupcake Day 2009. There’s a Cookie Monster Cupcake (not mine, but very similar) at 1:05.
@kms12 Happy birthday! But don’t you get a cake in the office??
@gilmae You available? I might start hiking up your way.
It takes a village to make a Halloween costume. Much thanks to @randomknits, @gilmae, @AusVintageGrrl, and @thisismywww for my components!
@steven_noble I sent you an invitation on FB to our party on Saturday! But if he wants to t-or-t on Friday, we’ll be there…

@imdominating DO YOU EVER SLEEP? You are online MORE THAN ME.
Costume bits procured and tested, 3/4 of shopping done, cake baked, and pumpkin carved. Phew. Tomorrow’s list is even longer.
RPattz in cross stitch: http://bit.ly/3OPyj6. I’m disappointed they didn’t use glittery silver thread for his face. (Yoohoo! @imdominating!)
@imdominating Oh right. Sparkly monkey. Must get on that…
My Jack-o-lantern. (I kept him pretty traditional.) http://twitpic.com/n72oi

Three days til Halloween, so of course getting a sudden rash of party pikers. 🙁
The nitty-gritty economics of raising chickens. That’s a lot to think about.
