Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Trying to call family for Christmas. Just rang both numbers I had for my Grandpa and got completely random strangers. Bah humbug.
@venks79 Nice one! Although those GPS points look a little suss… 🙂

I ran in the rain. I got wet.
Wow. The raspberry sauce just took the Mangomisu up to ELEVEN. If you make it, don’t forget the sauce.
Wanted to go see Psycho at the Opera House, but good grief. Ticket prices are nuts. $90 for the cheap seats! http://bit.ly/4Ye58S
We put the bread machine on a timer last night. Best way to wake up EVER.

MANGOMISU! http://twitpic.com/v47ht
@traceyh It looked good, and it tasted okay, but it wasn’t quite the mango-gasm we were expecting. Lacked a little oomph.
@traceyh ARGH! I just realized – WE FORGOT THE RASPBERRY SAUCE. There’s the oomph. DURRRR. Will make it tomorrow. 🙂
@traceyh Rodd’s trick is to dip them very lightly. He says otherwise they fall apart too easily.

MANGOMISU! The cover recipe from the December issue of Delicious. Yummy. (My goal to eat as many mangoes as possible this summer continues…)

Mangomisu
Mangomisu!
I knew we had to make this as soon as I saw it on the Delicious cover. It looks so good! (Plus, it fits nicely with my goal of eating as many mangoes this summer as possible.) Snookums made it earlier today. It’s basically a tiramisu but with mango flavouring instead of coffee. Ladyfinger cookies are dipped in Grand Marnier and orange juice, then layered with a thick vanilla cream and mango slices. It turned out pretty spectacular. I forgot to make the accompanying raspberry sauce, so we’ll have that with it tomorrow. 🙂

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, to all of you who celebrate it. Us, not so much. We did tag-team in the kitchen to prepare an awesome dinner last night. The highlight was Seared Beef with Sweet Chilli Caramel Sauce from this month’s Delicious magazine. (That sauce is AMAZING. The recipe also makes about 50 times more than you need for the amount of meat, so we’re trying to figure out what else to do with it.) We also had sauteed Savoy cabbage and roast vegetables. For tipple, I made us a jug of Jamie Oliver’s “Raspberry & Ginger Fizz” (also from Delicious). Basically, you muddle a handful of mint, two handfuls of raspberries, a tablespoon of sugar, and a big piece of ginger in a jug, then top with ice, 8 shots of vodka, and ginger beer. Delicious!
Anyway, after a lovely lie-in this morning we’re both in full-on hermit mode. The Snook is off raiding in Azeroth, while I plan on making some serious progress on St. Brigid. I’ve got Skype on if any of the family feel like saying hello…

@knitterjp Well, I’m starting the front so it’s relatively small now. If it were a big piece, I couldn’t do it.
Hey Twitter, can I substitute Triple Sec for Grand Marnier in a recipe? My MANGOMISU DEPENDS ON IT.
@tinkabel It’s on the cover of this month’s Delicious: http://bit.ly/7npOMn 🙂
I am headed into the abyss. (Man, I hate Coles.)
Coles is insane. The only things preventing a riot are those giant air conditioning units. http://twitpic.com/uwkdm

Christmas Eve fireworks? Sydney has a lot of fireworks.
Still waking up. You early risers are cah-RAZY.
Family: Skype is on if you want to get in touch! I am now going to commence knitting and TV, and I don’t plan on moving for hours.
