… for:
- cherries.

- mangoes.
- icy poles.
All food, heh.
hello!, and in keeping with your food theme for the first few …
K
1/ BBQs - for keeping the heat out of the house and making it simple
2/ morning fruit - today it was peaches, rockmelon and banana
3/ cold beer in summer
4/ frosty fruits! - my ice-block of choice
5/ seeing an echidna this morning on my walk
Morning Kate! How could I forget about cold beer?? Mmmm… beer… (Homer Simpson voice).
(Was going to comment on your echidna on Twitter, but the Fail Whale appeared.) Echidna - how amazing!!! Don’t think I have ever seen one in the WA bush.
Speaking of fruit, it’s time for breakfast
icy poles
<squints at definition>
Is that just what we call an iceblock in Kiwiland?
keeping with the theme, my thanks is for:
1. my morning latte
2. chocolate
3. chicken schnitzel sandwiches
4. cheese - any kind doesn’t matter, all is good
5. nectarines - my favourite stonefruit
Amen.
1. Morning flat white
2. Summer stone fruit incl. fresh plums off my tree out the back.
3. Freshly picked sweet corn from my garden.
4. Icy cold Lemon Z with Schweppes Classic Dry Lemonade
5. Aunty Ena’s sponge with cream and passionfruit icing
Love anything with mangoes! As for me the bare necessities:
1. morning coffee
2. sushi - especially yellowtail and eel
3. avocado
4. tiramisu
5. Thai curry
Hmm…
1. roast potatoes
2. rooibos tea
3. chocolate
4. mum’s heavenly apple pie (it’s got sugar syrupy something on top, mmm)
5. mandarins
Deborah - I think so. We’re talking frozen juice/lolly water on a stick, right?
Rachel, I love nectarines too. This season they seem to be a bit ho-hum, though. Maybe the weather?
Penny what is Lemon Z? And Aunty Ena’s sponge sounds divine!
Matt (thanks for stopping by), mmmmmmmm….. sushi….. sushi with avocado even…
Akkadis that apple pie sounds yum!
I love your gratitude posts, CW.
And for food:
1. cheap raspberries!! how great!
2. white peaches
3. cherries
4. good coffee (which I did NOT get today, but look forward to later in the week - in fact getting a terrible one made me appreciate the better stuff all the more)
5. marinated steak cooked on a Weber, which I also did not get as husband had a misadventure with his firelighters and I ended up grilling it inside.
But it was a good idea, and we ate outside anyhow.
Sorry to OT-post here, but the old Blogger blog didn’t want me to post a comment:
“This is sort of old, but I added a link to this page on my most recent post at The Kanji Hanzi Hub:

It’s a story about what happened when I started to look for the Multifunction Pen, a really weird Saga!!!”
CW, yes, that’s right. Fascinating, I’d never heard that term before.
Food:
1. Cadbury’s Old Gold liqueur-centered blocks of chocolate, a recent discovery.
2-5. I’ll have to think about a bit more.
