Thanks Stephanie (who is responding to my twitter plea for this recipe, having loaned my copy of the book out).
You should all go make it, it’s delicious.

Oh it’s so good to see you blogging at Crazybrave again Zoe!
Can’t come at the soup though; anything from a book called – urgh – nourish by anyone called Holly is just too up itself for words.

noooo! Well, OK, yes, there is a bit of that. It’s a macrobiotic book, so the virtue-o-meter is very high. The things that work in it though, are delicious. The double page paeans to baby octopus with green tea noodles is definitely overegged.

Yes except Kevin Rudd appears to be courting Costello for a future government position now.

Preferably one overseas.

The thing is, Dorian, if you’re going to make potentially unpopular ex-Labor politician appointments, you have to match them with potentially unpopular ex-Liberal politician appointments. That way you can claim you’re not “partisan”.
Please, god, let there be a by-election. Soon.

C’mon Zoe, what do you really thing of Peter Costello?

Kev’s just doing the sensible thing… when malcolm finally impales himself on his own ego, you don’t want his dimwitted cronies to survey the scene, realise it’s a contest between Tony & Joe, and go begging back to the Twerp.
