Hi all, I am doing a foraging project as part of my Culinary Arts degree, and I am having a bit of a struggle figuring out what is edible and what isn't. I thought I would throw a few pictures by you guys in the hopes that you could help me to figure out what they are. I'm in New Zealand in the Sout...

Hello everybody! I recently acquired nearly 6kg of apricots, and I have no clue what to make with them. I have done chutney, muffins and a pie so far. I can't make any more jams or anything as I have run out of jars to put them into. I'm open to any ideas :)

I may be the odd one out, but I LOVE shopping :D I shop for clothes, for kitchenware, for wool and knitting needles, I shop in op shops, in Kmart, and anywhere else that looks like it might have stuff I like. I am only 20 though, so that may have something to do with it :lol: I really love getting s...

Rummikub and Mastermind are my favs :D

Grr, more weight put on, though in this case I think its muscle as my calves and thighs are starting to firm up. Still, annoying >.<

GRRRRRR >.< I am so annoyed!!! I put a couple of kgs on at Christmas time, and just went away for the past 2 weeks with my family on holiday. That = copious alcohol and crappy food. I should have moderated how much I had! I was down to 80kg but now I think I'm closer to 85 :( But on the plus side, I...

Woot! I am somewhere between 80 and 81 kgs now. me and some friends have started the army training 6 week fitness challenge program on the nz army website, so hopefully this shall help to get me down to 70kgs before the end of february. For now though, I just want to get to below 80, 79 would be ama...

Got weighed at the gym today, and I'm down to 82kg :D So I've lost 7kgs in the past 2 months so far. I want to lose another 10-12 and then I will be happy. Hopefully 10 will disappear by xmas!

Just racked my wine off the crud in the bottom into a nice new clean DJ :D It's been doing its thing for about 6 months or so, I just got too lazy to rack it out. Had a bit of a sneaky taster and it is strong!!!!! :drunken: I like this wine making business :D I count this as a success. I'm positive ...

In a week?????? O.O How did you manage that? Well done!!!
I put some on >.< Silly delicious deep fried moro bars being a minute away from my house...

Woohoo! I seem to have relost the weight that I recently put on. The stress of exams possibly has something to do with it :study: So I'm down to 84.5kgs, meaning that since I properly started trying to lose weight I have lost 4.5kg. This pleases me :D I've recently decided that I want to join the po...

Urgh. Lost 4 kgs in the past month but then my friend came to visit me for about a week and damn I went sooo off the rails. Put back on like 2 kgs >.< I need to start eating healthier again! and I will, as soon as I can afford proper food again :) Goal of 15kgs loss by the end of the year.

I lost over a kg this week!!! :D YAY!!! I've been super into losing weight recently so have been eating much healthier, have cut out all takeaways (minus the mcdonalds which happened on a night out) and am eating a lot more vegetables. I also started going to the gym every 2 days for around an hour ...

Since my liver isn't allowed the alcohol for another couple of months should I just leave it in the new DJ in a cool place til I can have it? Or should I let it ferment for another month or so? Would it harm the wine to leave it on the sediment for another month? I could just let it keep fermenting ...

I made an awesome mannequin!!!!! It's not quite finished, still needs to be stuffed and mounted on something but the basic part is complete :D :D :D It's super freaking awesome and It's going to make sewing SO MUCH EASIER since I like to make my own clothes and haaaaate trying to pin everything in t...
