    @eileenDCoE We got ours at Kmart in the camping section.


    @chrisgander Rodd said Yahoo’s Banzai will be at Warrior Dash w/ stickers and swag to hand out: http://yhoo.it/ijNHhQ. You should get some!


    @drkknits I had one migrate in the middle of a gym session. Poked through a hole and nearly made it all the way to my collar!


    @drkknits Damn. I like all those things. (I am weird.)

    Sudden sock monkey STROKE OF GENIUS. I AM A CRAFTY GODDESS. On the down side, am now covered in feathers again.


    @gadgetgirl70 Not when she’s a crazy psychotic repressed lesbian perfectionist ballerina. That I can get behind.


    @drkknits Check your Gmail. 🙂


    Ugh. Wasted 60min tonight on TV show “market research” only to find this: http://bit.ly/gsHkdd. Exact same show & questions – 4 yrs on. GRR.


    @drkknits The question is – are they dreaming of you? 🙂


    @Lauren_lolly_ Nah, just a waste of time. I got a $10 Myer card out of it. Will give them a good rant when they call tomorrow though.

    Easy run after a few days off. Legs feel refreshed! Good weather too.


  • Photos of Us

    On Saturday the Snook and I went over to Strathfield Park (on like the hottest day of the year) for the engagement party of my friend Sean and his girlfriend Jess. We mostly just huddled in the shade and tried not to get sunburnt or dehydrated. My friend Cristian took some cute photos of us with his massive DSLR.

    @tmellc To be honest, I’m put off by the sickly pink colour scheme. I bet @randomknits will say the same. (Also, I tend to block spammers!)


    Wow. Sounds like the Verizon iPhone is tempting my Mom to switch. I figured she’d be a die-hard Android hold-out. #tippingpoint


    @CelenaStagman91 Blocking you, spammer.


    Today is my day for twitter spam, it seems. I’ve blocked and reported two users already!


    @redambition So far it’s you, me, Snook, and @kunaal84! Go team geekgirlrunner! 🙂


    I am COVERED in freakin’ feathers. COVERED.


    @randomknits You have no idea.


    @thezedmiester All will be revealed on the blog in a couple days…


    @drkknits Do you know they DYE turkey feathers black? My fingers looked like they’re singed. And my couch looks like a bird died.


    @drkknits I definitely am! And hey, I had a rash on Friday. And now I’m covered in features. BRING ON MILA KUNIS, WOOO.


    @drkknits Features? FEATHERS. #birdbrain


    @randomknits Yep. I even got it on my face somehow!


    Google Australia are cancelling their hiring initiative. This is more disappointing than you think. 🙁

    A new low in public behavior. Woman next to me on bench on York St is picking off her toe calluses. PUKE.


    Heartbreaker have just launched their Spring 2011 line: http://bit.ly/f3xDuy. SO CUTE. NEED MOAR PRETTY DRESSES NOW!

    Gearing up for tonight’s Jamie Oliver 30 Min. Meal experiment: Cheat’s Pizza, 3 Delish Salads, Squashed Cherries & Vanilla Marscapone Cream!


    @Bells_G To me it was slightly weird. As if there are only 2 groups: those with kids and the infertile. What about those who choose not to?


    @Bells_G She just makes it sound so binary. Am I supposed to feel less of a woman for choosing not to have kids? Not arguing; just musing…


    Just blogged: Jamie’s 30 Min Meals #3 – Cheat’s Pizza, 3 Salads, & Cherry Marscapone Dessert. Perfect for a summer eve! http://bit.ly/h8nNwy


    @randomknits Did you get some comfy shoes? Best of luck – you can do it!

    Cutback week. Short, easy run w/ Magic Mile. Crappy. Back & foot bothering me. At least it’s cooler!


    This was our closest attempt yet! Managed it in 38:26. Very tasty too…


  • Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals #3: Cheat’s Pizza

    This was our third official cooking/blogging attempt from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals. It’s been so hot in Sydney this week that we wanted to choose a “cooler” meal, something with lots of salad. We settled on Cheat’s Pizza with 3 Delish Salads, Squashed Cherries & Vanilla Marscapone Cream. It actually worked out pretty perfectly, as we had a surfeit of tomatoes and basil from our weekly veggie box, and cherries were on special at the grocery store.

    Cheat's Pizza with 3 Salads and Cherry Marscapone Cream

    Quick verdict: This was the first recipe where we didn’t substitute anything; we had it all. This was also our FASTEST attempt yet! Elapsed time: 38:26. That’s pretty damn good! I think you could easily get this one down to 30 minutes once you had the recipe memorised. (There’s also a step we’d eliminate if we did it again; more on that in a minute.) Overall I rated it 9/10, while the Snook judged it 8/10.
