Taurean Trolley Dolly

Seeing as its Australia Day I thought I should post a Aussie Classic! As you know I love my food, and I really like to spend my spare time cooking for friends and family. This however is the cheats version, or a time restricted one!  I hope you guys try this recipe and enjoy it. Let me know how go.

Ingredients

• 4 cups desiccat ed or shredded coconut
• 1 Victoria sponge cake (in two halves)
• 1/3 cup strawberry jam
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Spread the coconut onto a large sheet of baking paper.
2. Cut each half of the sponge cake in half horizontally and spread 2 of the halves with the jam. Top with the remaining halves, then cut each jam-layered sponge into 8 filled portions.
3. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add vanilla and gradually add enough warm water to form a slightly runny icing. Dip each cake portion in the icing to coat completely (be warned, this is a messy job. You may want to wear gloves). Roll each piece of cake in the coconut, then place on a wire rack for 15 minutes to dry before packing in plastic containers

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

Did Austin Powers design Air New Zealand’s new uniform???

I feel for my fellow sisters over at Air NZ. I guess you could look at it this way – they would feel comfy to wear, around the…. house!

I sure as fuck would not like to wear this to work and by the sounds coming from across the Tasman sea nor do they!

In case you were wondering the designer responsible is New Zealand’s Trelise Cooper.

According to airline spokesman Ed Simms “We have also been working closely with Trelise to ensure the uniform colour palette works in harmony with our soon to be unveiled new aircraft interior.”

Holy shite.. Pass me a sick bag. At lease the vomit will hopefully blend in with the pattern on the uniform and by the sounds of it the interior as well!

Whilst us trolley dollies in the Southern  Hemisphere are sweating it out and the tarmac is melting , spare a thought for our sisters in Europe!

This picture from  Thomas Nick Naylor  shows how bad it is on the ground.

Our pumps would be sliding along the tarmac instead of sticking!?@#

Oh the glamour!

Being Taurean I love my food!  When I saw this on Mystic Medusa‘s website I thought this would make a fantastic dessert for all you pax out there!  Who or rather, what airline would serve these? As it costs a cool $106,794 ,who would serve them? Maybe it will space food for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic? Maybe one day Saggo Pilot may give me one … HA!

What do y’all think? If Saggo Pilot becomes a persona non grata, I guess I could always try this website dating-airways, it seems to have some success, oui? I think its a great idea for crew to have their own dating site. Its really hard to maintain even friendships at home when your flying high as your away for long periods of time. At the very least it would be great to see a friendly face in a foreign port to catch up with. Sometimes your alone in a port or the crew you’re with, are you know, fuckwits, or jusr not your type of ppls ….!

YES IT WAS MY SAGGO PILOT RUSHING BACK TO SAY GOODBYE!

Goodbye kiss provoked Newark airport scare: report

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The security scare that shut Newark airport for hours and delayed thousands of passengers was caused by a man who slipped into a secure area to give a woman one last goodbye kiss, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

I was just thinking maybe they guy was inspired by the Love Actually film when the wee little boy rushes off to his crush…

Aww its so sweet…Wish it was me and my Saggo Pilot love…

Love Actually

Hello all!

Firstly, so sorry have been away for so long!  

Still grounded but getting better slowly and hope to be back flying soon.

I hope this finds you all packed & ready to check in with TTD 2010!

Hello fellow crew and pax

Well…where have I been you ask?

 Paris…? London…? Sydney…? New York….?

Ha! Wishful thinking on my behalf !

I have been sick sick sick ! I’ve had an ear and throat infection – or URTI as what its commonly called as its a common occurrence for crew.

So to all my fellow crew and pax sorry I’ve been away. I will make up for it with more posts, polls and your pics!

Thank you to all those who have PM’d and emailed me!

Mwah! Xx
