Farewell 2011!
30 December 2011, 02:49
Well 2011 sure was a doozy hey! Ready for a round up? My favourite post has got to be the Trash the Dress Food Fight 1 year wedding anniversary photo shoot with the awesome Trish. Some girls dream of their perfect wedding but I dreamed of doing the trash the dress shoot. I’m lucky my other half loved me enough to put up with my crazy schemes :D
Hardest post was writing about Noods and his cancer experience. Everything happened so fast and yet it seemed like time froze as we held our breath through the operation and the chemo and finally got the all clear on checkups.
Went to the Easter Show and had a blast making a spoof video.
Finally got to dress up and have a Kill Bill themed party.
Many a night was spent at The Dip, aka my second home where copious amounts of pulled pork nachos and hotdogs and beer were consumed after a hard day at work.
Pledged my allegiance to Cafe Cre Asion where Yu Sasaki makes the best macarons in Sydney. Seriously you guys the strawberry milkshake mac is da bomb diggity!
Went on a whirlwind Tourism NSW food trip following Dan Hong’s tweets and realised being filmed is hellz crazy.
Aaaand finally did some super quick recipes like chocolate chip cookies, Maccas brekkie, Donuts and Nutella cheesecake
Thank you to everyone out there who swing by and read my crazy ramblings, I hope I’ve been entertaining! Do drop me a comment on what you’d like to see more of in 2012 and I wish you guys all the best in the new year! Safe safe, be well, and keep smiling :D
Back to home
It sure has been a rollercoaster year for you guys. Thank you for sharing it with us all. You 2 are amazing!
