magazines from a broad
I got a nice heavy envelope from a friend the other day.
Don't you love magazines?
Glossy and neat and indulgent, I can transport myself anywhere.
These were extra delicious.
I read the advertisments (in my head) with my best fake Australian accent.
ATTENTION MAGAZINE EDITORS OF THE WORLD: being a foodie does not equal wanting/shopping for/having lots of diamonds.
My mom ordered a Sloe Gin Fizz whenever we went out to eat when I was growing up. Sometimes she'd give me a taste. I haven't tasted one since I was about 10 and would welcome the chance to try one now. Remind me next time we are near a bar.
This is the kind of pasta salad that I might not think of making. I'm not a creative cook, but, now that I see this, I'm inclined to write down the ingredients and throw it together.
Ditto this:
I never think to use tomatoes AND cucumber AND not much else. This looks cool and delicious.
Another inspiration.
I make pork about once a week but I use the same recipe over and over again. This one looks good.
Pretty shot. Lots O Wine.
Some kabobs I'd like to try...
I was intrigued with the word Spatchcock - and, now that I know what they are, am no longer interested.
I could eat all of that corn. All by myself.
Nectarine jelly? I'd try it.
I'm ashamed to admit that I took this picture of the chocolate/coconut Lamingtons but did not read the article. Aren't they, like, the National Dessert Of Australia?
I promise to read about them.
(And I wouldn't mind eating some either.)
There were other features, too, in these issues -
A travel story tells of Fun In The Philippines. (K has worked in The Philippines and I don't remember him enjoying it there.)
And there are stories about all the places I need to visit in Australia and New Zealand.
This resort has stolen our haphazard rock decor!
And, finally, there is a fashion page - thank heavens...
I can only cook, eat, travel and relax for so long before I need to check in on the fashion world.
It was so kind of Kim to send these to me that I don't have anything snarky to say.
Imagine.

Did you find they had less ads than the American mags. If I lash out and buy an American interiors magazine I find them incredibly full of ads.
Anyhow.
Oh and I loved your "Tonight" post.
Can I tell you how much the space between the letter a and the word broad amused me. Subtle, but brilliant.
What else is in the tomato and cuke salad?
You should go to New Zealand. It's absolutely wonderful there and I want to go back at some point.
Pure.Food.Porn.
Even better than Gourmet Traveller.
And WTH is "slow cook Thursday"?
Your magazine was especially juicy.
What? No "make your own vegamite" recipes>
Anyway, I was going to say that I went out for a meal with my beloved husband recently and he had a Sloe Gin Fizz. I looked at him rather disapprovingly over the top of my Classic Champagne Cocktail and said that Sloe Gin is something to drink at Christmas. But now I know your mother - of impeccable taste - drank it I will have to apologise.
On the other hand I may not tell him.

Thanks for sharing the yummy magazine pics.
I have no idea what slow cook thursday is either. God damn it.

Bought a few mags overseas recently and was disappointed wiht the quality of paper contained within - virtually a step above coloured newsprint - ugh .. made me lost interest very fast, and the photos were kinda sapped by the crappy paper.
Gorgeous photographs. I wonder why I have never visited you before, when I hear Kim crap on about you all the time ? :p
