It's Friday - it must be food.

Hi lovelies,

If you have visited the store on any of the past few Saturdays, you may have been tempted to try a piece of the beautiful White Chocolate and Macadamia Fudge that was brought in by the lovely Sonia.

Sonia even brought up a tray just for me to take home. Robbie and Andrew decided that 1 tray was not enough, so Sonia sent the recipe for them to make more.

This fudge is definitely not for those who are watching their sugar intake

Ingredients -
1 can condense milk must be full fat and nestle
1 cup soft brown sugar
125 gram butter- real butter that is
2 tablespoon liquid glucose

1 block of white chocolate
400 gram bag natural macadamia nuts.

Take the first 4 ingredients and

place them in large microwave bowl

Microwave for 2 minutes 4 times.

8 minutes in total

After each 2 minutes you need to stir the mix.

Time in microwave may vary depending on voltage,

but Sonia always uses 8 minutes total.

It will look funny but believe me tastes great.

Be careful as the mix is very hot

and boiling sugar cause severe burns.

After the last 2 minutes

add the chocolate and nuts.

Stir until the chocolate has melted.

This will not take long.

Pour into a greased and lined pan

and leave to set overnight.

My parents were visiting the when the boys made this, and my dad asked for the recipe. I let him know that I had emailed it off to him and it would be there when he got home. He responded with "I hope that the ants do not eat it all before we there". I love his sense of humour.

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing. We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging. We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested. The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis. If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length. Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads. They were pretty cool. Looked a little like landing pads for space craft. The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area. We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post. Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board. Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around. The day was perfect. Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher. This is really the best way to get there. Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal. There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go. We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around. We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
