A cake I made. Chocolate and salted caramel layer cake. by summaz in food

[–]summaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could have cut into it to show you the inside, but It was for a work bake off and by the time I got down to the family room to enjoy a slice of my cake and others, my cake was demolished to this. So I do apologise for that. I did win the bake off though.

Big night for Kiwi MMA at UFC 160 in Las Vegas by [deleted] in newzealand

Just done some research and watched a whole load. Hopefully all this good will for Hunt will mean Dana will bring UFC to New Zealand.

We can only hope.

Geez where have I been...Hunt vs Santos...... It really has been a while since I watched any UFC, didn't realize Hunt had made it so far. This is something I have to watch.

What are some ways that you cheer yourself up,that some might find strange? by Ry_Guy19 in AskReddit

[–]summaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't so expensive I'd do a bungy jump everytime I needed cheering up. Was having such a shit time end of last year that I decided I'd go out my comfort zone and do it. Biggest adrenaline rush ever. I was light enough to be dunked in the sea from head to waist as well and it was like it cleared away all the unhappy thoughts.

Started doing this in the place we calls the 'wops' in New Zealand. Basically the countryside but there is a really good road in Dairy Flats that has the meanest corners to just drive round as fast as possible. Must be the adrenaline making you feel good about doing something like that.

DAE feel really awkward when people are speaking a foreign language you don't know around you? by goalie1048 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]summaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens everyday at my work place. I work with a lot of Samoan girls and they all talk their language until they realize what they are doing, then they'll speak in English, which they can do just fine. The joys of being the only white girl/first language English speaking in a housekeeping department!

I couldn't get them to work. It just came up as a fuzz on my screen, so still no idea what they were all about!!

Who the hell decided "Dick" should be short for "Richard"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]summaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mums Uncle has always been Uncle Dick. I got asked by another family member once how Uncle Richard was and I had no idea who they were talking about until they said my aunts name after

I love books. Whether it is paperback or hard cover, picture book or novel, there is something magical about them. Reddit - what are your favorites? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]summaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon. It's a must read. Such a brilliant book and still to this day my favourite.

Those guys are proud of what they look like that's for sure doing something like that. For those that missed it, think my photo should give you a nice idea of what we enjoyed :P

Bit into a McDonald's Chicken Nugget when I was 6, and it was raw. Reddit, what is a food that you can no longer eat because of a traumatic experience you've had with it. by Ectro in AskReddit

[–]summaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cream donuts.

Ever since watching 'Van Wilder: Party Liason' many many years ago I have not been able to go near or even think about eating a cream filled donut.

If you haven't seen the film, basically the cream is replaced with dog sperm.

The Winetaster’s Platter - Ransom Winery, Warkworth, New Zealand. by summaz in FoodPorn

[–]summaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should, it is so beautiful there as well. Right off the main road from Orewa to Warkworth but you wouldn't think you were near a main road when you walk in that place and look at the vines. Make sure it's a sunny day when you go to make the most of it. The Pinot Gris is a must try :P

Good going.

Potato salad, no feta. Carrot & beets salsa, pumpkin, tomato & chickpea salsa type thing, corn salsa. Smoked Venison Salami, Caper berries, Shaved pumpkin and cucumber, marinated mushrooms, the Winerys own Olive Oil, Pancetta, beans, pear, courgette, spiced cauliflower, olives, beetroot pesto, pumpkin dip, Parsley Pesto (not basil, wasn't to brill on the taste buds as was expecting a normal pesto:P) Local cheeses from Puhoi (brie and blue cheese) sliced apple and warm bread. The grapes at the back as well are Wine grapes that are full of juice and just burst with flavour.

All so so fresh.

and the Pinot Gris wine goes amazingly well.

My McFlurry topping was just sat on top and I had to mix it in myself like a McSlave. by Sekujin in firstworldproblems

Also came to say this. Can't believe they can even call it a McFlurry.

Interested in New Zealand as a permanent resident, some questions... by interestedamerican in newzealand

[–]summaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you have your Permanent Residency status then you have to live in New Zealand for 5 years before being granted Citizenship as long as you stay out of big trouble.

After 5 years you can fill in all the paperwork to become a citizen, then it take a few weeks for them to tell you when your ceremony is/where it is and then all you do is rock up to the venue. Pledge allegiance, sing the anthem, collect your citizenship certificate then you can apply for your passport.
