recession diet woes

[fahye]

For the past few hours I have been craving chocolate fudge brownies with truly astonishing ferocity. Don't worry, I'm not pregnant; I am placing all the blame on my friend K, who decided to spend some time describing her latest trip to a local dessert-and-wine bar in LOVING DETAIL. Damn her.

God, I want caaaaake. And a mocha. I am about ready to climb over the bodies of whimpering puppies and gnaw my way through cushions if it will get me a decent mocha. Especially if it's the Cherry Bomb or the Lizard Mocha from Mars Hill Cafe. (Hey, useful link, non-Aussies! It explains what a flat white is. LEARN. Er, most places do not sell coffee by the bucket; Mars Hill is Special like that.)

Instead I am munching on what I have, which is...a dried fruit bar and black tea.

THIS DIET SUCKS. SUCKS, I TELL YOU.

I was about to say 'is that my friend K' and then I remembered that the friend most likely to boast about cake is not kayloulee, official possessor of the title K, but the other one. TOO MANY Ks.

I have excellent fudge brownie biscuits. I would share, but you're in the wrong city.

That's something I can help fix. <3

And I was in fact referring to a completely different K, who is a med student and was doing this cake-boasting while sitting next to me in class :D

WHY MUST THE WORLD PROLIFERATE Ks?

Chocolaaaate. *mourns*

Also, you are listening to TAI! ... did I give or recommend that to you or is this a case of coincidence? *can't remember*

I think you did! You gave me all the bandom-y stuff I have.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Heh, cool. :) On that note, you might not have anything by The Cab or Empires? they are my current favourites on the bandom-y scene.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS, YOUNGER LADY.

<3 more!

No, I don't think so!

You can't download much while you're at uni, can you? I'll have to give you some next time you're in Canberra or I'm in Sydney.

I just made like 20 cupcakes this weekend, and am bringing a bunch of them to class because OH GOD, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T NEED TO EAT TWENTY OF? I am that person.

If only the absence of flat whites was the extent of the english coffee problem! However, Monmouth in London must have had some Aussie baristas, because they will make them. Long way to go for a fix though :(

Mars Hill Cafe?

What are you doing schlepping to Parramatta for coffee?!
Incidentally, this is Julia - no LiveJournal account (sorry).

Damn Parramatta being so inconveniently located!

Yeah, London appears to be the only place: apparently there is a cafe in Soho called Flat White, run by some dedicated Kiwis, which serves them.

Poor starving student. I remember what that was like...vaguely.

I remember that there used to be a really awesome fudge shop at Darling harbour in the little mall there. I wonder if it is still there.
