Food Porn Friday – October 5

Wow. Last night I was one of the lucky few who secured tickets to see P!nk at an exclusive one off gig at The Forum last night (thanks to the lovely Litha). I will post more details next week, but we had such a blast!! I took my gorgeous friend Madi with me, and we rocked out. A lot of people are not fans of P!nk (L-whack is one of them!) but she really is a true entertainer, and puts on an amazing show – she’s awesome!!

Here’s just one pic that I took last night.

This was taken during the song 'Try', P!nk's new single

Now onto the food porn!

Thai red curry

Who doesn’t love a Thai curry? When I was there, I would have a different coloured curry every night – I couldn’t get enough of them!

Well this is Vegie Head’s own recipe. She recently came back from a holiday over there (lucky duck!) and she did a cooking class, so she’s sharing some of her wisdom by creating a vegan-friendly version!

SWEET

Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 30. A lot of people say itis stressful turning 30 – I don’t agree. I’m welcoming my 30’s with arms open wide, looking forward to the challenges and adventures ahead!

So one of my requests for my family birthday celebration (which we’re having tonight) was a vegan birthday cake! My mum was happy to bake one, but she’s been busy with clients lately so I asked for a Mister Nice Guy cake! So we’re going to enjoy a ‘Betty White’ cake for dessert tonight (not Betty Crocker as my mum called it when she was double checking what I wanted… haha!). I ummed and ahhed over which flavour to get.

A few weeks ago, they posted a picture of one of their cakes on Stalkbook Facebook, and I am sharing the love. Behold the Double layer Berry Boom cake!

I cannot wait. Bring. On. Cake!!

And lastly, this week is World Animal Week.  I came across this story about an orang-utan and a dog that became best friends (scroll down to the second story). It’s a heart-warming, and lovely story – with some hilarious pictures!!
