A moment of peace

Life recently has been rather exciting, if a little hectic: a trip to London, another to Milan – on which more soon but meals were taken al fresco in picturesque settings and gelato was eaten – and a 3-day wedding in South Tyrol to ready ourselves for (I’m going to sing!), as well as the usual day to day.

Whole kernel corn fritters

The first time I ate these corn fritters, Anna and Madi made them for me and Addison for breakfast on the deck at my mum’s about ten summers ago. We had the house to ourselves and the weekend stretched invitingly and sunnily before us.

ANZAC biscuits oat cookies

I realised the other day that for most of the last eight or nine years, I’ve lived in countries where I require a visa. The level of hassle involved with applying depends on where I am, and the length of time between renewals varies also but despite the fact that I know I’m privileged to even have a passport and be able to travel more or less freely, it’s something I could really do without.

I didn’t come here to whine though – what I was wondering when I made these biscuits is: if you are part of an invading army, do you need a passport and visa?

ANZAC stands for Australia/New Zealand Army Corps and it’s said that these biscuits were sent to them in Europe during the Second World War. It sounds fairly plausible – the amount of butter contained within would probably preserve them for long enough that they’d taste at least mildly palatable upon arrival.
