Stuff to Eat. Stuff to Buy.

Last Saturday was the College Winter Carnival. As well as Sing Star, Story Telling, and a cool Magic Show, there was a baking comp. We (well, Kate) entered a chocolate and pear tart, which is probably yummier than the yummiest thing you've ever seen ;)


Second Prize was the result. (Congrats to Kate, of course). A travesty of justice if you ask me... How could anything possibly be better than pear and chocolate? How? ;)

In other news... if you're partial to a technical commentary then you need to get yourself to Koorong and grab some of the Baker Exegetical series. My mate Jai tipped me off to the sale: they're three for the price of two, at the moment. I already own the John commentary (by Köstenberger); and I've heard very good things about the ones pictured here. The other book in the pile is Berkhof's systematics. It's running out at the bargain price of $16.95. Outrageous.


(For those of you who aren't familiar with the lingo, commentaries are the books that get down to the real nuts and bolts of the books of the Bible to figure out, very precisely, what they are, and are not, saying. Technical ones like these work from the original language.)

Noah reckons my new books are good for driving trains on.


I'm still feeling pretty pooped from last week, and my greek exam is now just ten days or so away. Kate's increasingly feeling very 'pregnant' with all the exhaustion and awkwardness that that entails. Ahhh. Sleep is just the best stuff in the world... when we can get it!

no I prefur to drive my trains on chocolate pear cakes - better for the wheels.

But seriously (not really)Miranda used to get prizes in the cake comp too- awesome job KT. Tassie girls know cake

Perhaps someone makes commentaries made of cake. You could lick the pages to learn stuff rather than reading them. Wow! Or maybe we'll have to wait for heaven for that ;)

Kate was definitely inspired by Miranda's stellar efforts in previous years. Yep, the Tassie girls are leaving their mark!
