'As a young girl, I had always believed there was only the type of love spoken of in fairy tales... There is another love, though, a love borne from the need for a companion. The truth is that each of these loves can and do happen. I just didn't expect I would experience both at the same time with two different men' AH, Bikerward.

The first chapter is very short - which was good because the alert popped into my inbox while I was flood watching at work and should not have been checking emails, let alone reading fanfic! - but it has me chomping at the bit for more.

I'm struggling with my WIPhobia, so if this does not complete in a timely fashion, I will be forced to buy a plane ticket to Heathrow and walk the streets of London until I find the author...

Now if you're not sure who the author is, here's a little clue...

Can any Aussie's give me a comparison between Vegemite and the Marmite we have in the UK? I have to make my boyfriend Marmite and Cheese sandwiches all the time but I don't like eating it on it's own. It's good as an ingredient for things, though.

Nutella is okay, I'm not a huge fan of it like some crazy people are. I do like it with marshmallow fluff between digestive biscuits though - I guess that's like a s'more - and I had it in France in a crepe which was amazing. My favourite sweet treat is salted caramel or anything with peanut butter. I made salted caramel cupcakes recently and they were so good.

It's so weird to see what sweets are branded in different countries. A few of my family members worked for the Mars factory years ago (the biggest confectionary brand in the UK) so we've had all manner of strange limited edition things come through our house.

I would like to know if there is a difference between Vegemite and Marmite too.  I love Marmite on toast.

I do love peanut butter - but only the crunchy version.

I haven't had marmite for years, and there was none in the shops today - but because of the floods, there isn't much of anything! I'll keep an eye out and report back when I can find marmite again.

All this lolly talk (or sweets, or candy or whatever you call them - it's no wonder there are so many different types around the world - we can't even agree on the name of the category!) and no-one has mentioned Jaffas. Does anyone else have Jaffas?


Jaffas are awesome and they are a MUST for when you go to the movies. Jaffas are a chocolate ball (around the same size as a malteser) covered in a hard, bright orange shell (like smarties/m&m's). Now, like D-D mentioned, I really don't like the orange and choc combination, or anything that has that fake orange flavour, but Jaffas are a-maz-ing!

I'm much more into savoury snacks than sweet, but every so often (like this week - thanks Aunt Flo!) I need me some chocolaty goodness.

 

Does anyone else think that Rob choc head looks more like the Queen than Rob?

Nutella? Ok in small doses - I could not believe how it was sold everywhere throughout Europe!
Peanut Butter? Yum - but it has to be called Peanut Paste!
Marshmallow fluff?  I'm picturing white sticky goo...and that makes me think of another white sticky goo... and I would not want to spread THAT on a biscuit, no matter how much pineapple juice he'd consumed!

Is anyone wants any candy or something from the states I would be happy to mail it to you. PM me!

Awww - thanks.  Ditto if you want to try Marmite!   

And ditto for me - PM me your address and wish list if you want to try vegemite, promite, tim tams, jaffas or the most racist lolly in the world - chico babies (choc flavoured jelly babies)


Every so often, my sister in London asks for a parcel and that's her shopping list - but Weis Bars are the first thing she buys when she comes back to Australia. Weis Bars are the greatest ice cream bars in the world! Mango Weis Bars are the ice creams they eat in heaven! And Macadamia & Mango Weis Bars are the ice creams they eat in heaven on Sundays!

Hellooo everyone!
Whew! Just finished catching up on two days worth of posts and I think everyone has gone to bed  oh well not to worry, I'm sure you'll all be back tomorrow it's been busy, busy, busy with greeting the kids back to school. Thought I'd be smart and not leave things till the last minute and bought the kids their gear 3 weeks ago only to have my 9 yo daughter tell me the shoes I bought her are too small the day before school starts!! The same shoes we spent a day trying to find, going from store to store till she found the "right" one. Ugh!! Still couldn't avoid the last minute rush  Now I've got about 25 books to contact before tomorrow but I just cbf!

On another note - its my birthday!  unfortunately I didn't get a "Rickell" type of birthday morning but it was great all the same. Anyhoo I'm talking to myself now and the contact is calling my name......

A quick one before bed...

For all of you that love chocolate/caramel/salty/peanut goodness, try this "recipe". I've made these a few times, everyone screws up their noses and then they're gone before you can blink!

Rolo Pretzels
1 bag unwrapped rolo chocolate caramels
pretzels
M&Ms - plain or peanut

1. Place the the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Place a rolo on each pretzel and melt in oven set on 150C (300F) for 4-5 min (the rolos should be slightly melted, but still hold some shape).
3. Take the tray of pretzels out of the oven and press M&Ms into each rolo pretzel. You can also press on walnuts or peanuts.
4. Let set and then try not to eat too many at once

Love rolos! Not a fan of pretzels tho.

All this food talk had me eating a lot more, I was also pmsing. So now I can feel my jeans are tighter.

 Stay

I'm seriously getting peeved with Mamsutra and her stoopid sporadic updating. I need to re read each fic cause I don't remember what the hell happened or why I alerted the fic! Frik!! 

I totally agree with you.  It really gets under my skin.

I normally don't care hence why there are alerts, but shit, she's got 50 fics on the go and none are complete! What the hell!!

I've not read any of hers yet. But I know exactly what you mean, there's an author I'm following that has 30+ fics going, none complete. It's annoying as shit.

Christ, I can't even finish one and I have several ideas, but I will not start a new one till my first one is done. that shit just pisses readers off.

Yea man. I refuse to start any of this author's fics until it's finished, so I don't even know if they are any good.

And the real kicker? Every couple of days she starts a new fic You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

That shit is fuckered up 

You're talking about mamasutra? I know she writes well but i didn't like One Night so haven't really read any other work of hers. Starting several fics at the same time and not finishing any of them, totally sucks!!!

I just got alerts for her fics but I don't remember any of them so now I need to go and re read. I hate that shit!

but arent all her fics the same? edward cheats on bella....

Now i definitely will not read her work... Cheating is something i will not knowingly read about. This is why i didn't like One Night and the ending was meh
