I should buy that book for my kids Julie, they're very fascinated with that word (3 little boys).  I could have some real fun with that ! "Öhh I just thought since you love it so much I thought I'd start cooking with it for you too ...... lol"  They'd never mention it again lol !  I'll have to show them the pic this afternoon and tell them I've ordered it for them.

Great idea Debbiebillg! ;D

Love the book Julie ;) ;) ;)

I am soooo happy today as I have finally got a new email address up and running after having problems for a month.  Goodbye Three, hello Bigpond.  You would not believe (or maybe you would) the amount of phone time I have wasted over this past month trying to get this problem sorted.

I am sooooo happy. ;D
My GD was runner up in national final.
Her dessert won gold and her entree and main silver.
They said she has an amazing future career as only 17 years old and 8 months into her apprenticeship and  handles the kitchen like a pro.  ;D She was the youngest finalist that they have had.
We watched yesterday and after the comp I tasted her dessert. It was sensational.
I met Adrian Richardson from Good Chef Bad Chef and GD got photo with George Colombaris today and DD photo with Matt Preston.
Awards gala dinner and presentations tonight at Sofitel and just finished now
All the young chefs were amazing and plated up incredible food.
They all deserve credit.
Noticed yesterday Cuisinart pressure cookers in the kitchens.
Will have to learn how to post photos as I have pics.

Had lovely food here in Melbourne.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations.
Home tomorrow  :)

Very proud DD and very happy.
We were thrilled when she won WA state final and were happy for her to come to the national final for the experience.
So proud of her tonight at the awards and her performance in the kitchen yesterday.  :)

Thanks DD  :)
