pink pancakes

So a few things have been happening over the last few days, the least of which was my participation in a cooking 'competition' at my place of employment during what has been dubbed health week. One would think that this would imply that healthy items would be on the menu. Apparently not, because my pink pancakes, from the deceptively delicious cookbook - that required me to roast beetroot in my own time - did not win! you may ask what could beat such a delightfully alternative recipe...let me say something won that included icecream and whipped cream in the serving. Is there not a dichotomy between the words health and whipped cream?

my day yesterday did end with a lovely family outing to an event on the gold coast called 'the gold box challenge'. Surely I will provide more details of this event in days to com e- I am waiting on a certain picture but let me just say that maybe mum was on to something when she said wine was bad for you. At one stage I had a card-on-ay, a red, a james squire amber ale, a sparkling water and a still water all on the go. I've always wanted to use all of the glasses.
