Get Ready to Play-Cute NZ cat commercial

Super cute new Purina ONE tv ad, shot in NZ by an award-winning kiwi film company, starring the cutest kiwi cats, plus a soundtrack by top muso Don McGlashan who resurrected an old French nursery rhyme specifically for this commercial.

I think my cats would pass out at the excitement of it all. And Alex may drop dead after eating it all…he’s not to bright poor boy.

Mmm Pineapples

Fresh, delicious pineapple…MMMmmmm makes your mouth water just thinking about it! None of that that crap from a can stuff. Up until only a few years ago I didn’t realise there was THAT much of a difference in taste. If you have not tried fresh pineapple you are seriously missing out in life.

Pineapple is one of my fav fruits, love eating and drinking it. Hot or cold…I know there are a lot of people out there who can’t stand the thought of pineapple on pizza etc, I can’t think of anything better.

Food blogger I most certainly am not, but when the guys at King of Fruit Pineapples recently asked if I wanted to have a crack at cooking some stuff with their pineapples..I thought why not.

Anyway..on to my pineappley creations..something basic for those culinarily challenged folk like me.

First off was a super delicious fruit salad…can mess that up…and super yum!

Next was chicken and pineapple skewers on the BBQ, again, not rocket surgery but delish none the less.

And lastly, something a little more daring (but shhh I cheated and used crepes from a box) Ham, pineapple and cheese crepes. Think this was my fav, other than just nomming it fresh cut on it’s own.

So what is your fav Pineapple recipe? You could win yourself some cool prizes by entering the King of Fruit recipe challenge, check out their site for details..and all the other entrants recipes.

Congrats Rah&Dan…Best.Noice.EVA!

Congrats to Rah and Dan on their big day yesterday! Our beautiful Rah…all growed up and getting married! She looked absolutely stunning, and Dan scrubbed up pretty noice too.

Our wonderfully talent Jarod & Liz were the photographers, so I can’t wait to see the rest of the pics from the day. If this little sample is anything to go by..they will be awesome!
