Winner, Winner!
A few weeks ago, A Spoonful of Sugar, reviewed a Sunbeam VersaCook Multi Cooker X5 and had one to giveaway.
Well, I was the lucky winner ;-) You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw the email letting me know I had won ............. can't stop smiling now, a lovely birthday surprise ;-)
I can't wait to try this out over the weekend ;-) first thing I am going to cook up is some chips - we have been using frozen chips cooked in the oven, and whilst they have been OK ...... there is something about home made chips that is so satisfying ;-)
So my thanks go to A Spoonful of Sugar for hosting the giveaway, to Sunbeam for such a wonderful looking new appliance and to Annaleigh for arranging such prompt delivery.

Lightpainting - A PACC Workshop
We had an absolute ball last night with the Port Adelaide Camera Club - we went out into the side streets of the old wool stores and did some light painting ;-)
My first shot ;-) a little bit shaky
The next shot, a garbage truck kindly obliged and did the painting for me
starting to get the hang of this now
Other club members - at work and play ;-)
A three-way ;-)
Denis Smith very kindly did his thing for me ;-)
Another fellow club member doing his impersonation of a ghost ;-)
Done in 60 seconds
Three Little Balls
(Tell me you are not singing the song from the cartoon right now ;-) )
Finally, our group contribution

Windy Peak - A Wine Review
I recently had an opportunity, via Best Recipes, to review a bottle of wine from DeBortoli Wines
I must confess, I was a little disappointed when I opened the box and found a bottle of red ..... a Windy Peak Cabernet Merlot .... I am a white wine drinker. However, I knew we were going to have visitors who do drink red, and I knew they would give me an honest opinion ;-)
We had a family get together and BIL was the first to try the wine. 'Thin' was his first impression ;-) SIL then tried hers and echoed his thoughts ;-)
After a few more sips, and a few more pieces of cheese and crackers and nibbles, the BIL revised his opinion ;-) So much so, I was encouraged to try a glass.
Usually, on the rare occasions when I do drink red wine, I just have a few sips to taste and be polite - I really don't like red wine BUT ...... you guessed there was a but coming ;-) ....... I really liked this one - I even had a second glass ;-)
So the verdict is ................ very drinkable - even for this diehard white wine drinker!
Check out the other reviews HERE
Check out their website for more on the other wines available - Windy Peak will definitely be going on my Christmas wine list ;-) http://windypeak.com.au/wines.html
