Salted Caramel Sauce
Firstly I'd like to say sorry that I didn't make this when I was supposed to last week. It meant to accompany a great apple cake recipe I'd just made up.
Secondly I'd like to say sorry I didn't take a photo of the cake - or write the recipe down.
Thirdly I'd like to say sorry that when I did get around to making this salted caramel sauce I didn't take a photo of it either. But I do remember how I made it:
I put a cup of sugar with 1/4 cup of water and boiled it up for a while - about 5 minutes until it went brown. Don't stir it and don't burn it!
Take it off the boil and whisk in 3/4 cup cream, 3 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1 big teaspoon of sea salt. Try not to eat it every night of the week until its gone....I made half measurements of this but it only lasted 3 nights. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Things that make me cry
Sarah Attar, Saudi Arabia's first female track athlete to compete in the olympics, coming last in the 800 meter running heat - getting a standing ovation from parts of the crowd. That my friends.... is awesome.

Like looking at a half drunk dirty martini in a plastic cup
Life in Canberra is like that and you can look at it two ways. Being the never (well hardly ever) wavering optimist I think that dirty martini is half full. And it's flipping handy that it's in a plastic cup. And no, the cup isn't disposable, it's just easy and fun.
The thing about Canberra is that people come and go - it's just that kind of place. But some of them, you just hang on to because they end up being wonderful, generous, good friends. Yeah, the bad thing is they go in the first place, but you can't ignore that this little country city connects people well. Beyond all the cliches of public servants and politicians, there is now a world of wonderful people that Canberra has given me: London, Brisbane, Manila, Delhi, Sydney, Dubai, Melbourne (to name a few)...and now two peeps begin an adventure in the middle east. Godspeed my friends, it'll be the best.
