Chronicles of the lost wallet

Today was the day I needed to do something about my wallet that has mysteriously disappeared. I need my ID card for tomorrow's exam after all. I walked up to the uni to ask them what I ought to do. The person at the info desk said I needed some form of ID which of course I don't have since it's all in my wallet. And I don't have my passport. I went to the enrollment desk then and asked about getting a new ID card. She said I had to pay 20 dollars to get a new one. I asked if I could put it on my vic account or something, but no, I had to pay right there and then. Very helpful when you have no wallet and hence no money... So I walked back and turned my room upside down as a final check. All I found was an orange (bleh!) lollipop... So I borrowed $20 from Vanessa and walked back to the uni and got a new ID card. They even gave me the option of taking a new photo to replace the old, rather scary one. But I really wasn't in the mood so I just got the same photo. Then Ryan's mother rang me and said she'd looked everywhere and rang a few places but hadn't seen it. So I decided that that was that and I went and cancelled my eftpos cards. My new ID came in handy :)

So that took a while. When I could have been studying...

But I guess it's all sorted now at least.

Umm, I made a new recipe today for lunch which was very scrummy for an apple lover like me as well as being a groovy new pancake recipe! :)

Apple Pancakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup self-raising flour
2 Tbsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, lightly whisked
1/3 cup milk
2 apples, peeled, grated

Method:
1. Combine flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add egg and milk. Whisk until smooth. Stir in apples.
2. Cook in butter til bubbles appear on surface, then flip.

They're really good :) In fact, the apples I used were so sweet that I didn't need any maple syrup or anything. They worked nicely just with some butter on top.


I've never liked apples more :)

Love Erin
