Hi guys, no recipe today, just a bit of housekeeping, because I’ve got a few exciting things to share with you! (accompanied by some random photos snapped with my iPhone)

First up, I’m very excited to be nominated as a finalist in Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Female competition in the blogger category! I’m absolutely stoked to be up with some amazing ladies like the one and only Chocolatesuze and the amazingly talented Katie Quinn Davies. So if you have a few minutes, send some votes my way!

Also it’s time to announce the winners of the GourmetRabbit competition that has been running for the last few weeks. Congratulations to Hannah and Sarah who both had absolutely fabulous ideas for stories in Issue #3 in 2012! Hope you both enjoy the magazine!
