And then there were 5...

Tents, that is.  First, we bought a tiny little First Light Shadow bushwalking tent.  Then, with Ben on the way, we bought a palatial two-room Sportiva thing (something similar to this).  That was too big for weekend trips, so we got a smaller 5-man Coleman tent (similar to this).  The Sportiva was still too big, but we wanted something slightly bigger than the Coleman for a few days, so last year we got a Freedom Invert 6.
Now, we're thinking of going tramping as a whole family, so we needed a second tramping tent to fit all of us and still be light enough to carry.  Torpedo7 had this Kelty on special this week, so #5 has been acquired:

PS.  Yes, we should sell some of them, specifically the Sportiva and the Coleman, neither of which we will probably use anytime in the near future.  If anyone is coming to visit and wants to go camping, maybe you should come soon before we sell them!

Curse of the sweet tooth cook

If you've been reading this blog for a while will know I'm into food - growing it, cooking it, and eating it. I also have a sweet tooth. These two things create a dilemma when eating out...especially when I get to the dessert menu. Most restaurant's dessert menus rarely have options on them that we haven't cooked at home and I am usually unmotivated to choose something that we have cooked at home because it rarely tastes any better and for the cost of one (very small) serve at the restaurant, I could eat a whole dish of it at home!

True complementarianism

So we played Scrabble tonight as it was our wedding anniversary and we remember playing it on our honeymoon (it was one of the boardgames you could borrow from reception)...we managed to use all the tiles (a first for us) AND had tied scores at the end of 260!


(We're not that into Scrabble - we can't remember the last time we played - but it was also given to us as a wedding/engagement present)
