Artichoke & Jerusalem Artichoke

Monthly Cake from My Boss - September

End of August my boss at work asked me "Chika, what is marshmallow cream?"
Oh yeah, tomorrow is the beginning of month!
A day he bakes sweets for all employees


September was Whoopie Pie.
Loved it!

A whoopie pie (alternatively called a gob, black-and-white, bob, or "BFO" for Big Fat Oreo) is a baked good made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, sometimes pumpkin cake, with a sweet, creamy frosting sandwiched between them.[1] While considered a New England phenomenon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition,[2] they are increasingly sold throughout the United States.[1] According to food historians, Amish women would bake these (known as hucklebucks at the time) and put them in farmers' lunchboxes. When farmers would find these treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!"[1] (from Wikipedia)

Kale and White Beans Lunch

A bunch of kale sitting on a display at South Melbourne Market was very pretty.
Couldn't walk pass without taking that with me home.

The Bratwurst Shop @ Queen Victoria Market

I can't leave Victoria Market without having this Bratwurst!


White bread, sausage, sauerkraut and hot mustard.
It's so simple, but it's always the best!
