Jodi - here’s hoping I can pull it off. The ingredients aren’t cheap if they don’t work out.

River - good point. I figure I’ll need the help to achieve it all too.

Sharon - it’s a date. Now we just need a date.

Lynette - indeed I will.

Joyce - Thank You.

Tamsyn - I hope it is an amazing year. I feel so positive about it. I think it always helps to have a few goals and a bit of direction.

Tess - yeah, working on that now.

Katrina - yes, they still let you climb, under certain conditions (they close the climb quite a bit). They do ask you to consider not climbing - mostly for safety reasons I think. Unfortunately my foot wasn’t up to the climb or the walk around the base. I did get to climb a little way up though which was an awesome experience in itself.

Do they still actually let you climb the rock?? Or is it just that the aboriginal elders request that you don’t climb the rock?? I know that is what they were wanting to do was prevent people from climbing…..you could always change this one to walking around the base (that’s a long hike anyway lol)

I think that is very good well rounded list and I’ll be cheering you on as you knock things off it but please concentrate on getting that ankle better first!

I think the cheat things are a great idea to have on the list, because you can cross them off almost immediately and feel you’ve really accomplished something. It’s an incentive to keep going.

Macarons are NOT hard. Fiddly - yes. Time consuming - definitely. But most of the time is waiting for them to sorta set a bit before you cook them. And when I made them, they were fiddlier than they needed to be as I did not have the right sized or shaped nozzle for the piping bag and had to use the gun thingy. Plus, I didn’t have any almond meal, so had to make some - and because I needed to use it right now, so to speak, it was still a little wet/sticky (and blocked up the nozzle on the gun thingy as the one I had was small!!! And messy!)

It pays to have a look at a heap of different recipes. Adriano Zumbo likes to make things harder than necessary, so don’t try his first! The recipe I use is from a little book called “macarons’ by Annie Rigg. It’s SIMPLE and step by step and they tasted delicious
