In Singapore, it's the same temperature all year round - 25 - 32˚C either with rains or sun.

So when I hopped on a plane to visit one of my best friends, Russ in sunny brisbane, I wasn't prepared for 15˚C. I thought "it's only 10˚C difference, how bad can it be?"

All i really wanted to do every night was wrap myself up in layer after layer in front of a radiator and falling asleep. of course, I was the laughing stock of the suburb when I was decked in 4 layers when everyone was cruising around in bermudas.

Here's the recipe for Mini Raspberry and Blueberry Cobblers.
