The Last Of The Snow Bunnies, Thredbo

Not Quite Nigella — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:00:47 +0000

With bonus shin bruising! Good Sunday to you Dear Reader! So from my earlier story on Thredbo, where was I? Oh yes my shins were bleeding and bruised from my morning ski lesson and incorrectly put on boots (that would be my own fault). I have managed to slowly hobble my way onto the shuttle [...]

“Look at all the snow up there!” Mr NQN points out to me. “Mmm yes and see the hot donut stand just underneath it?” I say the falling snow reminding me of icing sugar on the aromatic donuts that have assaulted my olfactory senses. It was Mr NQN’s birthday weekend and one of his dearest wishes [...]

“I’m going to pinch that light!” I whisper to Queen Viv. “What, the gigantic one that is bigger than you?” she asks. “Well … ermm yes I may need your help!” I say looking around furtively. Oops allow me to rewind a little, I was too busy chattering on for a moment. We’ve just entered [...]

Any trip involving Queen Viv and I always has an element of getting lost. This was no exception. We were on our journey to the Snowy Mountains and had picked up our rental car. We then got a good 10 minutes lost amongst roadworks around Canberra airport and when we finally extricated ourselves from the [...]

On our drive back to Sydney, exhausted but blissfully happy at having a great time at the Snow, we sought out a great place to have breakfast. The little country style shop near the house was closed this Monday morning so we drove towards Sydney through Tumut to find a bigger town. I was looking [...]

Let it Snow! Jewelled Fruit Cake, Swedish Mulled Wine & Finnish Pea Soup

My husband is what I affectionately refer to as a “fruit bat”. He is simply mad for the stuff, in dried or fresh form, his request for Christmas every year is a fruit basket and a fruit cake. And forget eating a dainty slice with tea, the whole cake can and has been consumed in [...]

Jazz River restaurant, Tumut and going to the Snow!

Let me start off admitting that I had to be somewhat wrangled into going to the Snow this year. My husband and his equally sporty family couldn’t wait to go skiiing whereas all I could think about was how damn cold I would be and given how bone-chillingly cold Sydney has been lately, why on [...]
