BBC Mini series

I just wanted to post a short blog about some of the beautiful heroines we see in BBC Television mini series. Last Sunday ABC aired the first part of the BBC adapted 'Tess of the D'urbervilles', by Thomas Hardy, starring Gemma Arterton as 'Tess'. Arterton also starred as 'Elizabeth' in 'Lost in Austen', along side Jemima Rooper as 'Amanda Price' i.e. 'the modern Elizabeth'.

Arterton is always so captivating to watch. She is undoubtedly beautiful, and personally, I think she suits the nineteenth century heroine. But, she was also beautiful as the 'bond girl' in 'Quantum of Solace'.

I also really liked Charlotte Riley in the BBC Television mini series, 'Wuthering Heights'. She was a great 'Cathy'.

Okay, now back to writing...

For the Sandwich Lover

I love sandwiches. I love them because I am fascinated by them. I'm in awe of the idea. Bread+filling+bread=love. Here are some of my favourites.

- Turkish roll, turkey breast, cranberry sauce and avocado.(toasted or not... it's yummy)

- Wholemeal roll, rare roast beef, seeded mustard, beetroot and spanish onion.(I prefer this one raw and wriggling)

This one isn't really a sandwich, but it's still a good combination.

- Crusty sourdough, banana and honey...maybe add some ricotta to that, then top it off with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Happy sandwich making and eating.

Ooh... and I'm going to enjoy the gingerbread cookie my sister got me. YAY!

It's a RHINO cookie with pink icing!!!

From Cookie Couture, with love!

Best Baked Beans I've Ever Eaten

'Dear Daniel' (Hello Kitty's boyfriend): He is a pretty cool boyfriend to Hello Kitty. He wears overalls, like me.

'Hello Kitty' ("I weigh three apples"): She's a pretty cool kitty. She is also almost reaching

menopause age.

Okay... enough of the random facts!

Today I was being really moody and angry because Uni is being a real Mrs. Grouch to me. But then, after I threw a chair at the fridge, almost hitting my boyfriend, Tony decided to cook me baked beans and eggs. It was the best baked beans I've ever eaten. We decided that we want to make our own baked beans, and add XO sauce to it for a super spicy experience.

Go get some 'Heinz Baked Beans' or 'Heinz Spaghetti". It will do wonders when you're feeling down.

2010 Spring Collection

I have gone absolutely crazy over procrastinating on wedding gowns! Please let me wear one of these gowns, once in my life!!! I am gobsmacked at how incredulously beautiful and gracious these gowns look. To make this obsession sound worse, my sister and I were looking at the Vera Wang tableware collection in David Jones the other day. It was so very, very nice. Yes Vera, that image on your website says it all. I, one day, would love to be eating Jasmine tea

macarons on your tableware collection! Amazing! Please have a look on her website:

Her 2010 bridal collection is stunning!

This one here (above) is not a Vera Wang gown. I just think it looks very pretty :)

This one here (above), also not a Vera Wang gown. But, also very, very pretty!

"Yes, of course I'm getting married in these shoes!"
