thanks bro! shoes AND sweets?! so fantastic! xo

happiness in a box

As you might already know, Bif & Sarah use to live together. What You probably didn't know is that Bif owned a crepe machine and was pretty good at making delicious midnight French snacks (Nutella and sugar included). But since Bif flew the nest 6 months ago I've had to find alternative snack solutions. Enter Marcel's Crepes. Individually snap frozen. Takes 50 seconds in the microwave. No artificial bad food stuff. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner and any other hungry time. Oh and they are DELICIOUS! Best frozen/microwave food discovery in a very long time.

So you know how Bif & Sarah's favorite tv show is Twin Peaks? Yeah well did you know that an old favorite snack of Bif and Sarah's is the Original Digestive Biscuit?! McVite's brand specific. We like this snack so much that waaay back when we were still wearing school uniforms we would carry a box around with us, always at the ready, and consume it easily before the day was out (note: a box between the two of us, NOT one each. We're not total gluttons). YUM.

Vegetable?

Who doesn't love instant noodles? I love them! And I'm proud to stand by them. I do eat actual human food, don't worry - but I also eat instant noodles. What a convenient snack! What an occasional shameful dinner! Especially if you eat them out of the styrofoam cup - no cleaning up! Awesome. But is it just me or has the vegetable flavour option disappeared from the shelves? Across the board, across the brands. Why? I miss it and want it back, it makes MSG feel healthy.

Tonight one of us is going on a mini-vacation - and the other one is simply driving her to the airport. The most exciting thing about this trip for me (the one who is staying behind) is that Bif will get to eat CURLY FRIES! (Of course I think the most exciting thing about this trip for her would be seeing her family...) But back to the point, CURLY FRIES! These were the highlight of childhood birthday parties at A&W and trips to the zoo (where there was an A&W). But then tragedy struck - my family moved away from Singapore and away from A&W. The part of my life dedicated to the curly fry crumbled. People would be all "A fry that is curly? You're nuts immigrant" and just laugh and point at me. But then around four years ago, while pretending to be an adult down in Wellington curly fries re-entered my life. There was a bit of a sketchy period during the past four years when the 'supplier of curly fries could not deliver to Sweet Mother's Kitchen' for some reason or another - but most of the time, they would be there. But now, having moved back to Auckland - the curly fry evades me yet again...

I'm so sad that I'm driving Bif to the curly fry and all I will get is McDonalds at the airport foodcourt. So sad in fact that I have spent the last few minutes Goggle Image searching 'Curly fries'. Yes very sad - as in upsetting and lame. THEN I decided to google 'curly fries in Auckland' and - highlight of my day so far - curly fries are served at the Langham Hotel for $8 a basket!!! Is it lame to eat at a hotel when you are not staying there/not at a wedding/not on a business meeting/not going for high tea/just ordering a basket of curly fries...?

Yum full stop

These are my new favorite, over-priced, snack.
