Bulletin - Semester 2 Week 2
Hello foodies of the mindful kind. My mind is still a little bit fuzzy from last nights outings so you'll have to forgive my bleary introduction to the bulletin. This week there are lots for bits & bites on ways to get involved so make a New Semester Resolution and start racking up those volunteer discounts!

Bulletin - Semester 2 Week 1
Welcome to Week One of Semester Two of 2009! For those of you that had time free from studies, I hope you're refreshed and ready to begin again. For those like me that barely even noticed that there is such a thing as a Winter Break, well.... more of the same doesn't hurt, especially when it's self inflicted. I mean, who made me enroll, right???
Bulletin - Winter 2009 Week 6
Food Glorious FOOOOD! I spent my morning in a dilemma as to what my favourite brunch food was and how I'd be able to transport it to my friends' house. I ended up improvising some peach coconut muffins (which really fall outside of the brunch category) as I had to work within the constraints of available ingredients and maneuverability. We then spent a total of six hours with our friends, consuming, for what now seems like the entire day, the delicious mix of dishes everyone contributed. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday, I say! I hope everyone had an equally fulfilling (hehe... lame pun) end to their weekend.

Thursday volunteers urgently needed!
From Andrew
It's the winter break and many of our coordinators are away or working. For perhaps the same reasons, our volunteer numbers are very low. (I don't think there is anyone rostered on for a volunteer shift this Thursday!) This is beginning to be a problem as the workload is the same and there is often only one person around at any one time to use the register, answer questions, clean up outside, pick up the phone and sort out orders, simultaneously! So, any help you can give this or next Thursday (the last two open days of the winter break) would

Bulletin - Winter 2009 Week 4
Dear Readers: Let me present you with another addition of the Thoughtful Foods Bulletin. My little intro will be kept to a minimum as I'm putting this together between cooking dinner and unpacking bags. So much for time management etc. Lucky there is enough real reading in the body of the bulletin to keep you busy!
Bulletin - Winter 2009 Week 2
Oh what a chilly winter. I realise we're not even a third of the way through but I think our apartment, nicely situated directly above the garages, will remain the eternal icebox. So, it's midday and I'm enjoy my hot chocolate with a nice dash of Kahlua. Nothing wrong with that, is there?... Well, considering that we're in Winter Holiday Mode already, the bulletin is definitely crammed full of info for you all. Read on....
Bulletin - Winter Week 1 2009
Pfew! The end of another semester. At least, the end of the lecture period. Now it's on to all those lovely periods of pencil scratching on paper we look forward to so much. Left all the readings to the end of the period? Mmm... join the club. How hard is it to focus on pages and pages of small black print on white paper when it's finally sunny outside? Today my procrastination activities involved baking an apple loaf and a cauliflower, pea and red wine risotto - not before covering my kitchen on 5 sides with red wine though. What's that you say? Clean the kitchen? Why, don't mind if I do! No time like right now before I get to Chapter 5...
Bulletin - Semester 1 Week 12
A warm winter welcome to my wonderful woolly weaders! I spoke to my Brisbanite sister this afternoon and she was complaining that it was too cold. Mmm... yes... don't you hate it when it's a chilly 22 degrees outside! Its my second winter away from Canberra and I still have the expectation that when I look out to a grey day in the morning I'll need to brace myself against the frosty air when I step outside. Still a good time to start testing those soup recipes I say!
Now, since my greeting seems to suggest I'm writing to sheepies, I'd like you all to follow me into the news...
