nomnom and potential hijinks
Life so rarely imitates the plot of a bargain kindle purchase. But on those rare occasions when it does, I find myself somewhat giddy at the ludicrous implausibility of it all. You see, my friends, congratulations and heartfelt felicitations are in order - for I am fake engaged. Not for one second of my adult life have I ever wanted to get married, even when I was nauseatingly, sickeningly, head-over-heels in non-fake lust/love. But when my fake betrothed proposed and explained his amusing reasons for requiring a fake fiancée for a weekend, I found I just couldn’t say no - and not just because I was laughing so hard I almost peed myself. The whole idea has crazy hijinks and amusing shenanigans written all over it. Who could say no to that?! Still, I’m waiting to see the fake engagement ring before I absolutely commit myself.
In other news, my best buddy and I had a foodie’s dream day on Sunday, catching up over some deliciously decadent food at La Parisienne on Lygon Street. We dived into an antipasto platter and baked camembert with oodles of fresh baguette slices. Then, we practically rolled out of the café, taking a long walk around the nearby shops and streets. When at last we felt we had room to contemplate dessert, we headed to Black Star Pastry, a Sydney popup just in Melbourne until June 30th. My friend had been there before and rhapsodised about their signature dish, Strawberry Watermelon Cake and so I had to get me some of that. Merciful Zeus, it was heaven on a plate - so light and yummy! The whole popup was filled with foodie bloggers taking pics of their dessert purchases, and so I had to join in and take a snap. Food pics (and a couple of Jack pics) under the cut.
