White chocolate Christmas

December 25th, 2009  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  7 Comments

Merry Christmas! I hope your day is full of giftwrap-tearing fun, excellent food and A-grade company (and, if it’s enforced company, I hope it’s of the likeable and non-judgmental sort, the kind that don’t ask questions about marital status/career direction/house-buying likelihood/baby forecasts).

I’m not sure how sugar got so highly linked with Christmas but, in any case – historical fogginess aside – it’s a good excuse to enjoy treats like this Chocolate Snowman ($15) from Boon. This scarf-wearer’s tubbiness is not just some zeitgeisty social comment on obesity, though; it’s just a handy way to disguise the fact there is:

1) a reindeer
2) a praline
3) and a sprinkle of chocolate crackles

enveloped inside that tummy. I’m kinda impressed by such efficient stomach-storage.

Oh and spatial capacity aside, the snowman is a tasty little Christmas memento, too. Merry Crimbo everyone.

    Merry Christmas! 🙂

  3. I can’t say I’d be keen for a chocolate “Frosty”, but you’re right, there’s been some effort taken in making him, and photographing him.
    Merry Christmas to you.

  4. Merry Christmas! I’m a bit worried that snowman is carrying a reindeer in his (her?) belly, but I’d be interested to see what the belly innards look like =p

  7. Very cute indeed. I am sure it would have made a nice touch to your Christmas plans.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
