Berry Merry Monday…..

If only my weekends were as wholesome as my bread rolls…… Mondays are always a desperate attempt to erase the eggs benedicts, burritos, KFC chips with extra salt and endless apple ciders consumed over the weekend.

Dragging my crackling covered body back to the office looking like a strung ham in my suit, I know it’s time to put down the bacon and pick up a banana.

As you can see today is full of fresh, flavoursome and fat-free goodness, the first step of a downward spiral towards a Saturday night smorgasbord of sinfully scrumptious salty snacks. I like to think that this vicious but delicious cycle is all part of a well rounded lifestyle.

Oink Oink,
Truffle Pig.

P.S All colourful ingredients in the photos were purchased from my fruit fanatic friends at Fruity Capers.

One little piggy went to the (fruit) market…..

I usually avoid suburban shopping centres like the swine flu, especially on pension days. But at the bottom of the blue rainbow (Toowong Village) is a pot of gold – Fruity Capers!

The minute you trot into the deli you are surrounded by deliciousness, there is salami hanging from the roof, crackers filling the walls and pasta hugging your feet. The plethora of cured meats, stuffed olives and gourmet cheeses flirt with you from inside the cabinet and I am happy to flirt back – this place gets my hooves hopping.

There is plenty of pre-made feasts for those lazy pigs out there, but for us wanna-be chefs there is everything you need in the deli and fruit market to whip up a masterpiece, hopefully…. time will tell…. watch this space.

The bitter: It is in Toowong Village, or what I like to call the retirement village.
The sweet: The fruit is sweet but I’d be a traitor to my breed if I didn’t say HAM!
The damage: $25 for a weeks worth of fruit and vege for one plump piggy.

Oink Oink,
Truffle Pig
