Sorry everyone for the unannounced hiatus/disappearance off the blogosphere. I've been a little busy bee! I hope to at least punch out a post every week from now on - even though i haven't been blogging i have certainly been eating out still :p
A few thing's that i've been up to are..
Oztag - our team 'TAG TEAM" made it to the grand finals but lost by just TWO points!
& also training for the Oztag Nationals comp in Shell harbour next mth
Mountain biking - training for Capital punishment which is a 50KM mountain bike race in Canberra this weekend where i'll be conquering bike tracks around Mount Stromlo, Kowen forest, Madjura Pines & Black mountain (exciting!)
Guitar hero-ing - i love it!
Tennis
Exploring local eats
I ate my way through Cabramtta tours (more info here)
Here is something I baked a while ago but never got around to blogging it.. & i've only used my madeleine pan once since then!

I've never actually eaten a madeleine, but this lovely recipe certainly makes clear what I've been missing. These look so pretty, delicious, and tempting!
Welcome back dear!
Oh if only I could say I've been keeping as active as you have... active in eating yet... active with good phyical activities no. =D
Aww madelines are on my list too, but just havn't had the chance (or pan) to make them yet.
These chocolate madeleines have my name on them! I need to look and see if I still have my old madeleine pans (I have the bad habit of tossing things) and get busy this weekend making those fabulous ones!
Good luck with your bike race this weekend! Your madeleines look delicious with the chocolate glaze.
Welcome back! Always nice to see some baked goodies as well =)
These look so yummy! I haven't got a madeleine pan, it's on my wishlist. Thanks for the tip on refrigerating the batter overnight.
So pretty and delicious! Perfect with a good cup of tea.
Cheers,
Rosa
