Sweet genius

Streetdaddy™ — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:30:24 +0000

Working in close proximity to a good bakery is perilous indeed, and is not made any easier by the free espresso a mere progress bar away.Â Chocolate donuts are a clear favourite for me, and nothing ruins my morning quite like the ‘chocolate icing stuck to the bag’ debacle which seems to unfairly target the highest calibre of super-sticky-sweet-iced-donut.Â Yes, I’d be the first in line to growl out the inside of the paper bag, but it just not becoming of a gentleman now, is it.

So it was with great pleasure that I opened my donut this morning to find it had a few mini donut shaped jelly babies stuck in the icing to prevent the inevitable stickage!Â My mind boggled … was it genius I was seeing?Â or maybe just a bored bakers creativity gone horribly right?Â Either way, my faith in the world’s ingenuity has been restored…

Paul’s Egg Nog back on the shelves for festivus

Streetdaddy™ — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:25:31 +0000

If there’s one thing that’s dulling the pain of the growing school-kiddy infestation around these parts, it’s the reappearance of Paul’s Egg Nog on the shelves of the supermarket. You can only get it until not long after Christmas, so make sure you take full advantage. Here’s a simple recipe to spice it up a bit:

350ml Paul’s Egg Nog
30ml Bundaberg Rum
15ml Bailey’s Irish Cream
Dash of nutmeg

Warm the nog, add the alcohol, stir, sprinkle with nutmeg and enjoy.

150g Toobs finally available at my local!

Since it was announced in my last Toobs post that 150g packets were going to be back on the streets I’ve been frantically wandering the aisles of my local supermarkets, waiting for those magical blue packets to appear. While it was great for Toobs to be reinstated as the greatest snack food available in this country, the little packets they offered were measly to say the least. I’m not in primary school anymore, so few per packet just wasn’t going to satisfy me. Finally the other day I spotted them! I full height end-of-the-aisle rack full of 150g Toobs! Just when I thought my pants couldn’t get any wetter, I spotted the sale price: $1.99.

Buy up big my toob lovin’ friends, this is just the beginning… Next: Toobs breakfast cereal…

Tasty Toobs making a comeback

Streetdaddy™ — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:38:35 +0000

Not long ago I heard that Tasty Toobs are making a comeback. If you don’t know what Tasty Toobs are then you’re either very young, or you’ve been lobotomised (or maybe you’re just un-Australian?). Tasty Toobs are the cylindrical burger flavoured snack food that literally shred the skin off the roof of your mouth as you eat them. The problem is that they’re so damned tasty that you can’t stop eating them even when the pain is excruciating! Today my girlfriend excitedly informed me that she’s seen them on the shelves at our local supermarket! Maybe the ‘Bring back Tasty Toobs’ petition worked?

Take 34,317?

Welcome to my personal space on the web! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve gone through the process of designing a personal site, mainly because I get sick of my own designs after staring at them for to long. It seems that a lot of webmasters like to give their site regular facelifts, must be a pride thing…

Expect to see some extra content in the near future, such as an image gallery (the old one is still here), maybe some history on my progression through web development, a portfolio of sites I’ve designed and built, plus whatever else seems like a good idea at the time.
