SERENDIPITY AND KATE: November 2014
http://serendipityandkate.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Road Trips Wild Flowers. This morning I went on a short solo adventure to Robertson, about an hour* south of Wollongong. *It was supposed to be an hour, but ended up being an hour twenty. See, I had a group job interview assessment thingy lined up for this morning at the Illawarra Fly. It was the cutest little ramshackle of a set up, with scissors, curling ribbon and a wrapping paper dispenser (which had no paper, but who cares). MAKING CUPCAKES WITH LITTLE PEOPLE. We all need dreams to give us drive....

Why I Stopped Eating Animals and Animal Products. I've been holding off writing this post for a while, but now seems the right time. By the way, if you find this chunk of text too tedious, scroll straight to the bottom of the post for the videos.]. Well I can tell you that I am a (pretty) normal person, and until this year I was on the 'vegans are strange' side of the fence, but now here I am. But the world population now places demands on food production that have led to mass farming and inhumane condit...

FRUITY ICE FOR SUMMER DAYS. Here on the East Coast of Oz, the January sunshine decided to take an unscheduled (and unapproved) vacay this week - what on Earth? I'm so happy to see it back, although, must admit, those few trackie days this week did force me to sit in my chair and get quite a lot of work done. Work, shmork (that reads like 'pork'? A CULINARY TRIP BACK TO VIETNAM. Faifoo, Morning Glory (Pork Pancake), The Cargo Club, Cava. Sapa Boutique Hotel and Restaurant. DIY JEWELLERY DISPLAY BOARD.

SERENDIPITY AND KATE: April 2014

Hello there and good morning. I am sitting here at my little desk, doing some journalling, with my bergamot essential oil a'burning. "Bergamot uplifts the spirit and emotions. Beneficial during times of stress and irritability", says the box. Right now is feeling a little like this:. So really, it's okay. Anyway. here are some things I have been enjoying lately. (cake). Also I need to moisturise my cankle. And here with the mister. And that's about all I have time for today - au revoir! I used a basic sh...

GOLDEN WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES AUNTY TIL'S RUM BALLS. I made a whole stack of these on Christmas Eve and took a plate to 3 different functions within a 24 window. Sneaky but time-effective. You can find the recipe for my Aunty Til's rum balls in this post. Scroll to the bottom). The published name for this recipe in Christmas Gifts. I'd never made this recipe and I had trouble with it. In fact, I have cooked 3 recipes from that book and had problems with all of them! 300g dark chocolate, finely chopped.

SERENDIPITY AND KATE: VEGAN ANZAC BISCUITS + HISTORY LESSON
http://serendipityandkate.blogspot.com/2015/04/vegan-anzac-biscuits-history-lesson.html
VEGAN ANZAC BISCUITS HISTORY LESSON. This year I've been eating mostly animal-product-free; I haven't written about this on the blog yet but will save that for another day. Today we talk ANZAC biscuits. First, a history lesson:. The army biscuit, also known as an Anzac wafer or Anzac tile, is essentially a long shelf-life, hard tack biscuit, eaten as a substitute for bread. Unlike bread, though, the biscuits are very, very hard. Some soldiers preferred to grind them up and eat them as porridge. Preheat o...

SERENDIPITY AND KATE: 9-5 WINTER WORK WARMERS
http://serendipityandkate.blogspot.com/2015/04/9-5-winter-work-warmers.html
9-5 WINTER WORK WARMERS. What is going on with the weather today, New South Wales? Today, my smugness was blown to smithereens in a catastrophic display of brolly comeuppance. My umbrella turned inside out. I blinked, and she was gone with the wind. It was every iota of humiliation that I had always imagined but seldom feared. RIP umbrella. Thank you for your service. Madame Flavour Tea 3. Max Brenner Chocolate Powder 4. Lush Lip Balm 6. San Diego Hat Company Fingerless Gloves. As for the necessities.

Good morning - whether you landed here by accident or clicked through on purpose - good morning. Sitting at my desk now, having arrived here after a string of delay techniques. I did my nails, put on a load of washing, made a smoothie. and now I am writing a blog post, instead of sending out job applications. Is this what you're offering me? No thank you. I can do better." And I have no regrets. I believe I am worth more, and I believe that THAT belief will bring me more. GET NEW POSTS VIA EMAIL. Welcome...
