Parsnip and sweet potato baked chips covered in Turmeric, officially a GREAT idea!

Summer loving
Hearing the tales of Fi dancing through London town I've been dreaming of the summertime
Pimms for the win
Last time I was in Europe (two winters ago) a blizzard blew over covering the streets in a lethal layer of ice and halting Heathrow. It was also the winter I became armoured by Pear Cider. The frigid winter winds were hardly appropriate weather for the chilled bevy, but it was well enjoyed nonetheless. This time round my tastes and the temperature seem well aligned.
[Ginger Beer]
I've made all my Enid Blyton summer fantasies come true by indulging in lashings of Ginger Beer. My version is slightly less wholesome given the alcohol content in Crabbies (yes, it does have the most unfortunate name) Apparently the ginger comes from India and it is brewed from eight weeks, all I know is that it is the best blend of ginger and spices I've ever had. Lip smackingly good!
[Pimms]To be honest I wasn't sure what Pimms was, but the lavish description of - chilled slices of orange, lemon, lime, strawberry, a spruce of mint and a dash of bubbly lemonade - proved far too tempting to pass up! This fruity cocktail is like an exceedingly fancy version of the Aussie lemon, lime, bitters - yet instead of being jaw achingly sweet, it has a rather becoming stuble tartness, thanks to the gin and 'secret recipe of spices'. Yum!

Redecorating Inspiration
I'm on a posting rampage today, and I'm considering a little redecorating. So here's a little inspiration from Etsy to help me on my way.

Bulk Buying
After hearing the rumours it turns out that Costco are opening their first store in Sydney next month. For the uninitiated they sell everything on the face of the earth in bulk from groceries, white goods, clothing to coffins, apparently it has to be seen to be believed.
I shall be waiting in the queue for a stickybeak and no doubt come home with some bulk bought goods. A surplus of fruit would indeed be the perfect excuse to make some jam and fill those jars that have been sitting in the cupboard for the last six months bought for that very purpose. Or I may find myself preserving some excess lemons, both worthy and fruitful pursuits (I apologise for that terrible pun). Though perhaps I'll end up with a trolley full of bulk toilet paper, coffee and too many lollies for my own good.
