I just found out that wombats have cubic poo...yes, it's really true! And in celebration, I have made up this recipe. And it tastes...nothing like I imagine the original does.

100gr butter or margarine
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 medium eggs, beaten
200gr (1 packet) crushed plain biscuits
½ cup coconut
½ cup chopped dried figs
½ cup chopped preserved (candied) ginger
¼ cup chopped almonds
100gr chopped dark chocolate
Cocoa powder, icing sugar or coconut for dredging

Melt the butter or margarine over a low heat. Add the condensed milk and mix in thoroughly. Whisk in the beaten eggs and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Take off the heat and stir through the chocolate, then the fruit and nuts, coconut and lastly the crushed biscuits. 

Spread in a tin and chill overnight. Cut into small cubes and dredge with cocoa, icing sugar or coconut. 

Well, what do you know? I finally got a garment off the needles - in this case, one that's been stalled for quite a while. 
You know how everyone says that you can't make anything useful out of art yarn? Well, feast your eyes, art yarn aficionados!
The biggest bonus is it's comfortable, fits well and feels fabulous, plus it's nice and warm without being oppressively so. 
I wasn't sure about the lace pattern for quite a while (in fact, that was one of the reasons it took so long.) but once I'd mastered it, the knitting went quite quickly until I got to the neck. 
Now here's what happened: at this point I began to doubt that I had enough yarn to finish the cowl neck, so I put it away and ignored it for ages. The second factor here was sheer horror at the amount of ribbing (one of my pet hates these days). 
Last month I was laid low by a virus and I near;y died...of boredom. So I fished this up out of the depths and finished the knitting. 
Next phase...thinking about seaming it. That was quite a long phase, relatively speaking, only ended by my impending trip to Dunedin, famous for providing foul chilly weather at any time of the year. In the end it only took 30 minutes to sew it up. I used a plain matching yarn for the seaming as the garment yarn is very bumpy. Then a light steam blocking and it was ready to wear! 
So, of course, Dunedin turned on some very warm weather and I only wore it once! Such is life.
