Hello Hello!
Doesnt it feel like christmas? The rain, the gusty winds, the fresh air. Its almost here. I hope to have a white christmas. With some luck and lots of hope, I may just have it. Hahahahahahaha..... I'm dreaming of a white christmas...... All it needs is for the plane to hmmm... unethical but...... for the plane to be grounded in Frankfurt. (cross fingers) *blizzard blizzard* We'll be heading east to eastern europe, hopefully hitting Poland and its surrounds and hopefully passing by(with a night or 2) in Austria. More When I get back!
Found some time to bake. Had this strong urge to let out the bakeress in me. Since I dug out all my baking stuff, I thought I might as well bake 2 different kinds of bread. I made the Italian Ciabatta which is really easy to do with mainly instant yeast and olive oil and salt and the Jewish Challah, a soft buttery plait texture.

SSC Rugby
After the Rugby World Cup I was inspired to behave like a rugger, especially when provoked... so beware! I love the game, its brutal yet classy in its own way. I think what I love most was that the guys are big (pity that not all are as good looking). Armed with my new Pana FZ18, with an 18x zoom and good image stabilizer, I managed to catch some real men in action over the weekend. It was just 7 a side, nothing like the full thing but there was some eye candy to be had (if u are single.... hahah) Since I am a (rather) true blue fan, I watched the game more than I took shots so I din get many. Here's one. We bought the shirts for abt $30 and got caught in the rain on Sunday.

I have blogged abt this previously. Here are the photos of the yummy food.

Leisha (dont know the correct spelling) Tang yuan. Coated with peanut with an ooozy black sesame filling. The best!
