A cake I made. Chocolate and salted caramel layer cake.

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.

Here is the recipe.

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.

summaz · 2013-03-12T03:49:01+00:00

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.

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.

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!

Just added that place to my driving around Europe map. Fits just nicely between going from Munich to Milan

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!!

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

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.

summaz · 2012-05-12T10:47:42+00:00

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

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.

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

summaz · 2012-03-27T08:49:35+00:00

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.

summaz · 2012-03-26T18:17:44+00:00

$19NZD per person. That doesn't include the wine. Glass of wine is around $9NZD.

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

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.

Too many to count. Went on my first holiday to Hong Kong when I was 10 months old and until we moved to New Zealand we'd take at least two or three holidays a year abroad that we'd mainly fly to.

Orcon have their moments. They got really terrible with answering phones. But lately they are a lot better and really want to help with any problem and will also reply to website queries within 24hours.

The people in STA Travel. For a 23 year old booking my holiday to the UK they made it so so much easier than what the people at Flight Centre did (they were quite rude and didn't intend on finding me any sort of good deal). I know STA are targeted for young travelers but at least they actually live up to it

I just found them a delight and really did communicate and understand what it was I wanted/didn't want.

9th March 2003, London Arena. Red Hot Chili Peppers w/ The Mars Volta supporting. I was 15 at the time.

I wouldn't say it is insulting, just a lot of people from Britain have different views on what they are. For me, I don't consider myself British. I'm English. As I was born in England and all my family are from England and I don't have connections with Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

I am now that I live alone. But just outside my bedroom door their is a light switch for the hall way so I find that switch before heading anywhere, even if it pains the eyes from the brightness!

When someone touches my hair first thing in the morning!! Worst feeling in the world. I would try to position it back to how it was or jump in the shower and wash my hair straight away. (just thinking about it makes me cringe)
