January 2, 2009 - New Year Boojagram
Happy New Year!
I spent New Year’s Eve with a box of booja-boojas (yummy organic, dairy-free chocs). Each box has a Boojagram, a short saying which is sometimes witty, sometimes wise, sometimes simply bizarre. I particularly liked the one I got this time:
“All things loved are truly beautiful”
New Year was also a chance to try out some new recipes. I actually enjoy cooking, but recently haven’t ventured much outside a relatively small repertoire of tried and tested favourites. This time I made pea and potato cakes (latkes) from a seasonal recipe book which Mum gave me for Christmas, and a chocolate mousse from another recipe book I got from my cousin. Actually the recipe was for a cappuccino mousse, but as I didn’t have any plain choc I adapted it into a chocolate orange mousse made with Maya Gold choc. Have recently discovered that Maja Gold is no longer completely dairy free (possibly thanks to Cadbury take-over of Green & Blacks, grr) but I still had some left in stock.
Christmas with family was lovely, despite most of the household going down with flu (I’m amazed that so far I’ve stayed healthy). It did provide an excuse to relax with the latest additions to our dvd collections.
Green & Blacks was taken over by Cadbury?! Why wasn’t I told?! *bursts into tears* That is horrible! I do not like Cadbury *whines* What a blow and the year is only 2 days old *dramatic sigh*
Anyway, I like your most recent Boojagram. Knew it before, must be from some “VIP”. Mine made me laugh this time: “What else are you up to?” Yes, what else indeed? Thank you for sending me another delish box :-*
I am glad you didn’t cath the flu, too, and hope, your family is healthy again. Happy New Year!
