Thoughts to live by
I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.
I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is,
They're going to hurt you every once in a while
And you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
Even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.
I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I Believe....
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe....
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs
To be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I Believe....
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down
Will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe....
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many
Birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe....
That it isn't always enough,
To be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
The world doesn't stop for your grief..
I Believe....
That our background and circumstances
May have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.
I Believe.....
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.
I Believe....
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.
I Believe....
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you -
You will find the strength to help.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall
Do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
Are taken from you too soon.
I Believe...
That you should send this to
All of the people that you believe in, I just did.
'The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.

That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.

English immigrants first settled in South Australia in 1836, in ships such as "HMS Buffalo", a replica of which is to be seen at Holdfast Bay. These folk established themselves on the Adelaide Plains, some gradually taking up agricultural land in the Adelaide Hills. In 1839 persecuted Lutheran immigrants from Prussia arrived, looking to establish their community in a free land, and moved to Hahndorf or the Barossa Valley. My own forebears arrived on the "Isabella Watson" in 1846. These people brought with them traditional English recipes, many of which appear in my own grandmother's handwritten recipe book, such as Stewed Chops, Potato Dumplings and Jam Pudding. They were all simple recipes, not requiring complicated ingredients, and not costing much money, a style of cookery that reflected the modest means of the time. Among the English immigrants were sheep graziers providing prime lamb, others farmed beef cattle and still others became the butchers, bakers and candlestick makers of newly established towns. Many recipes, in hand written recipe books, brought to Australia by migrant women have been passed from one cook to another down the years. These recipes still hold their place in home cooking of today including Lamb Roast, Lamingtons, tasty Steak and Kidney Pies. They have been joined by dishes that have earned their special place in Australian history, such as the Pavlova, Soldier's Cake and Anzac Biscuits, and of course for genteel afternoon teas, the Lamington and Pumpkin Scones.
Damper: A damper is a traditional Australian bread, made without yeast, and commonly made on a campfire in a cast iron camp oven. Lamingtons: A chocolate coated cube of sponge cake, rolled in desiccated coconut; usually served with whipped cream and afternoon tea. It is said that Lamingtons were invented in the Queensland Government House kitchen as a creative use for stale sponge cake. I do not recommend that you use stale cake, but the mixture is easier to handle if the cake is not too fresh and crumbly. They are named after Lady Lamington, the wife of the Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. Pavlova: A recipe developed by a chef in Western Australia, or so the story goes (or was it in New Zealand?) to celebrate the visit of the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova, is a confection of sugar and egg white meringue, covered with delicious whipped cream and seasonal fruits. (click to read full article) Anzac Biscuits: A rather hard but crisp biscuit of rolled oats and molassesSoldier's Cake: A long keeping boiled fruit cake
At this stage in my story of Australian food, I am forced to acknowledge that although English immigrants brought their foods and recipes to a new land, there was already a wealth of cultural food in existence. I refer to the indigenous foods and style of eating that of course was the very first cuisine established in this country. It may have taken many decades for this to be acknowledged, but there is an awakening taking place both in Australia and internationally.
