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!  My mind boggled … was it genius I was seeing?  or maybe just a bored bakers creativity gone horribly right?  Either way, my faith in the world’s ingenuity has been restored…

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:

Paul’s Egg Nog

  • 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.

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…

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?

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.
