The wonders of the world

I feel like this weekend was so rich. The world was opening up like a beautiful flower with so many things we could discuss on Miss Soft Crab.

There was a 60 Minutes interview with Miranda Kerr where she proved just as annoying as I thought she would. When I read in a magazine after she had her baby how she tweeted that it was soooo amaaaaazing that she was nourishing him with only her breast milllkkk I thought she sounded super annoying, and the interview I saw last night really proved that theory right.

There was The Graham Norton Show with Ewan McGreggor and Chris O'Dowd as guests.

HUNKS PLUS HILARITY! Is there anything finer?! (Rhetorical obviously because the answer is no and this is not up for discussion.)

And there was the Dalai Lama on Master Chef. WTF?!?! That guy is such a publicity slut. It was disgusting. (I really hope I don't go to Buddha hell for saying that.)


There was all that. And then there was Chutney Club. Mate, and world, what a shame for all you guys that you could not come to midwinter chutney club because ... yowser! There was some serious shit going down yesterday. And when I say shit, I mean delicious things and when I say down, I mean my throat!

I know we say this every time, but chutney club is just getting better and better.

Reader's, here is a run down on the chutneys exchanged yesterday:


Mandarin and chilli marmalade
Chilli and capsicum jam
Red onion shiraz jam
Kimchi
Lemon pickle
Meyer lemon marmalade

David made the kimchi and to serve it he barbecued prawns over some sort of smokey BBQ pot. That is a pot with something smoking in it. Delicious.

For Biggie Little's chilli jam he made a shooter's sandwich. This is a loaf of bread hollowed out and stuffed with steak. Then weighted down over night. As a vegetarian I did not get to eat this. And I confess I felt sad about it.


Biz made eggplant fritters. And as I said to him, I'll say to y'all, I love it when Biz makes fritters. I love it.

All this was good. Everything was good. Delicious. But all that just fell away when it was time for dessert.

I love that Biggie Little has joined chutney club because dude loves chilli. I love chilli! And dude has made some real special chilli condiments. But you know what else. He brings his lady along and girlfriend knows a sweet treat.



For Christmas chutney club we were treated to a beautiful cherry pie. Tastes so good make a grown man cry. For reals. But yesterday that cherry pie was pushed from my mind by these sweet little bitches.


Chocolate molten baby cakes. So chocolatey. So molten. So fucking good. The sort of rich chocolatey goodness that makes one (me) hysterical (it's actually not hard). They are a Nigella recipe. So do yourself a favour people and give these babies a go.
