This afternoon we had a cookie break.
She had a far away look in her eyes.
"Piper, what are you thinking about?"
"Eating."
A traditional Indonesian snack made of rice flour with a small piece of steamed inside and wrapped with banana leaf.
DD9 was proud of the snack she arranged. Green pepper strips and frozen grapes. Pretty. :) But what a combination! :-D I must say, she *did* eat every bit of it. We can't keep enough frozen grapes on hand for DD. She loves them.
My new year's resolution is to get the kids out into the great outdoors. I bought them these little backpacks to they can carry their own drinks and snacks when we go bush walking. Now that Samantha is 2 1/2 she can manage a reasonably long walk with a little help. Kayleigh is a good walker and the outdoors agrees with her. She is a nature girl at heart I think!
I threw out two shopping bags' worth of out-of-date and bad lollies and snacks. What a shame and waste! But the cupboard looks much better now. I haven't really touched the top shelf yet, either!
more road snacks, and kristine's iPod pumping out the tunes in the civic hybrid.

(between the cameraphone pictures, and the flickr uploader, the order's kinda screwy....view it as a set, if you want the proper chronology.)
Serious Pig is a Peckham-based charcuterie business and are also the folks behind Peckhamâs one and only charcuterie bar. We got an invite down to the launch of said bar, and so the pictures you can see may or may not reflect the final âlookâ. Anyhoo: said bar has a pretty compelling preposition: chowing down on top-quality meat and sipping crisp craft ale under under the prominent arches of Peckham Rye station. But, before the bar, there was Serious Pig (minus the bar) - and so, here is more about them (why so serious?)
Serious Pigâs âBoss Hogâ George Rice came up with the idea for charcuterie business with his friend Johnny Bradshaw (and coincidentally, the other founder) over a pint in The Junction Tavern near Tufnell Park. Essentially they wanted to create a meaty snack that wasnât full of additives and that could be paired with ale. These guys donât fuck around, and so the next day the business was taking its first steps towards pork domination. Hamination? (OK Iâll stop now). Since then theyâve been growing quite quickly: off-trade stockists now include Ocado, Fortnum & Mason, EasyJet and Wholefoods. On trade stockists include pubs all over the country, including BrewDog (in fact - BrewDog actually have a stake in the business, as the breweryâs founder James Watt is now a shareholder).
They also claim to have come up with âthe worldâs first hangover preventing meat treatâ the âHangover Curedâ. The science is tenuous, but the lulz are unmistakably strong: "The cured pork snack should be eaten alongside an alcoholic beverage as preventative in order to stop a hangover in its tracks⦠like most of our best ideas, we came up with Hangover Cured whilst nursing sore heads in the pub.â. Another of their publicity stunts (less hilarious but probably more important) was the âCraft Not Crapâ campaign. As you probably know, the state of the processed meat market is fucking abysmal - this was a campaign to call out major brands for not being particularly transparent about all the bad things they put into their meat. Serious Pig had the moral high ground to do this, seeing as theyâre pretty minimal when it comes to added ingredients At the time of writing, Snackingham (air-dried snacking ham) and Snacking Salami (what you think it is) - both are available in original and chill and paprika flavours.
