23.01.2022 BREAKFAST! Made with the produce from @moreismorethornbury food co-op... @greeneggsfreerange spinach, BROADBEANS (yum!), tomatoes and potatoes from @organicease veg box and a cheeky bit of @meredithdairy fetta to round it all out. I’ve had veg boxes from all over, but I gotta say that the Organic Ease box is the best value box I’ve come across... and also their bananas are the best I DO NOT KNOW WHY ARE THEY WIZARDS. Anyway! Link in bio to order.

22.01.2022 I’ve been thinking a lot about women’s work, mainly because I’ve been hanging out with my Mum who is a truly excellent, as she calls herself, ‘manager of household affairs’. She did such valuable work when me and my four sisters were growing up. We lived in a clean, well organised house with hardly any waste. All the leftovers were eaten, every rubber band was saved, all shopping lists were written on the back of envelopes. It has recently occurred to me that being a boss is truly like being a Mum, not coz you gotta be cuddly, but because it’s your job to organise things so others’ lives can be smooth. So, I’ve decided, my Mum is my CEO role model, to hell with Branson.

22.01.2022 My major achievement of #covid times so far is to work out how to turn that question off. Via @catherinedeveny

22.01.2022 Friends I snuck into the shop this morning and got me a loaf of @denchbakers bread... YEP WE’RE SELLING BREAD NOW. Huzzah!

21.01.2022 It does seem only fitting that this, the year of the darkest timeline, ends in a festival of social awkwardness in which you gotta choose which half of your party guests have to go home. #2020

21.01.2022 Been spending a lot of time with the houseplants recently and thought to treat them to some photosynthetic soundsssss, curtesy of @lulusmelb !!! Best album if your feeling planty

20.01.2022 Recipe development Sunday I’m gunna call it... made these here tiramisu mochi... coffee mochi wrapped around boozy mascarpone with chocolate sprinkles... you want? You like?

20.01.2022 FREE SCOOPS ARE GO and Craigo is on the tools which means them scoops are gunna be SCULPTURAL.

19.01.2022 Did you know that BIRDS are actually robots made by the government to spy on us and magpies in particular are swooping you to collect your DNA and that Covid is actually staged so the birds can all be given a system upgrade... what you didn’t? Well WAKE UP SHEEPLE and if you want to know more about how things really are eat our new sheep’s milk yoghurt and honey Icecream: it’s the red pill that goes down easy.

18.01.2022 BONSOY ALMOND MILK FOR $1.50 A LITRE... yes it’s true... head over to @moreismorethornbury for co op news and link to ordering!

18.01.2022 Our online ordering type situation just got really really really ridiculously good looking, thanks to @mr_yum_ ... order your whole cakes and Icecream cakes and pies and WHATNOT here! If you don’t see something you want, or you want something you can’t see TEXT AT WILL to 0417830505!! We’ll fix you up!

17.01.2022 With what can only be described as The Era of Povo breathing down our necks, I figure now is the time to start a food coop! So... who would like to be part of a trial run? We’d do discount Icecream, pies and big slabs of lasagne and stuff like Meredith Fetta and coffee beans and chocolate and vanilla essence and other things I can get in bulk for cheap and relatively unpackaged. For the trial run, you wouldn’t need to do anything except order stuff (I just need to work out how long it takes to pack). Anyway. What else would you like? Eggs? Mango purée (it’s very good for smoothies)? Delicious cheeses? Tell me! #coop

17.01.2022 Some, not all, of today’s bake! We’ve been going ham on the pecan pies and cherry pies and soon they will be dispatched to all of y’all’s Chrimbos! PS, we have made a bit more plum pudding, gingerbread and Beige Christmas icecreams, but not much, so hop on it. PPS we’ll be open every day except the public holidays over the next little whiles.

17.01.2022 Take this cake straight to the pool room.

16.01.2022 Honeycomb making is my fave, though I did shout DON’T FUGGING TALK TO ME at @garageartfoundry coz he was like ‘Wow honeycomb is so magical’ right at the point where I stirred in the bicarb and it began to grow. #serenitynow

15.01.2022 I’ve had an extended fantasy this week that because @danielandrewsmp keeps on going on about fixing the mental health of Victorians, he’s going to legalise weed. Think of what it would do for the economy too! Cmon Dan! Two birds, one stone!

14.01.2022 This year my resolution is to dabble in sincerity... so here’s a Diane DiPrima pome cake for y’all...

14.01.2022 New flavour: MISO WALNUT ... it’s a little savoury, a little bit sweet, with like a dirty caramely umami situation going on. An icecream manifestation of Kurt Russell in Escape from New York.

14.01.2022 It’s a big Welcome! to @ultraculturecommunity krauts and hawt sauces... my day is not complete without their fermented garlic habernasco on something or other... I’m also making icecream with their mandarin habanero marmalade this arvo so prepare your hearts and stomachs for that!

13.01.2022 Introducing the ICECREAM PIE! Handmade cookie crust, whatever icecream, whipped cream and cherries on top. It’s a reasonably sized situation.

13.01.2022 Gingerbread house detail... poster for @amylandthesniffers ... the last truly sweaty gig I went to before lockdown.

13.01.2022 OK! So if you're interested in joining the co op for a trial run, can you pls fill in this form. . . it's not too taxing I swear: https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLScgUYZkLRPTdLLxsT/viewform

11.01.2022 Next up ‘I can’t believe I ate the whole thing’.

11.01.2022 Could you be... the most beautiful pie in the world?

10.01.2022 FINALLY I had the grit to make rosemary brûlée #truegrit

08.01.2022 RETURNR CANISTERS HAVE LANDED! We’ve managed to get hold of 19 @returnr stainless steel double walled canisters and have put together a deal where you get a 700ml canister filled with Icecream and a silicone lid for $26! This includes a returnable deposit on the canister (returnr ware are like ideas: they are yours to use not to own), a silicone lid which is all yours and Icecream which is also all yours, though there may be some competition on that front.... buy via the co-op, link in bio! PS you can’t see becoz of the mask but I’m really smiling here. The world feels like such a horrible brutal place right now so it’s extra specially good to be pattering with good folks and trying to do something that is both decent and aesthetically pleasing. #raremomentofhappiness

08.01.2022 Friends, it is only the 6th of Jan but already I am beset with exhaustion and self doubt. Us icecream socialists have had a hell of a 2020: apart from THE OBVIOUS, we’ve also had deaths of fathers and grandmothers, very serious illnesses, a few hospitalisations, and cornsarn it if one our dawgs didn’t run away too. The dog came back, but overall we are staggering. But hopefully we are staggering together and when one of us falls, another will be falling the opposite way and so we’ll all remain upright somehow. So for me, for us, and for y’all, here is a Saint Dolly cake and yeah as she says ‘ If you want rainbows, you gotta expect a little rain’... BTW this photo really has #nofilter, the light just went like that wat hello heavenly presence???

08.01.2022 PIE CITY PIE CITY PIE CITY PIE CITY

07.01.2022 Look into the eye of our #vegan sausage roll and behold the skill set of @alxmknn and be amazed and then eat the sauso. Also in the warmer today: zucchini mint filo, spanakopita, lamb pasties, meat sausos, vegan shepherds pies,beef n beeeeeer and chicken and leek. All ready for smashing from 2 today!

06.01.2022 New flavour for whatever day it is today!

06.01.2022 THE ICECREAM PARLOUR IS DEAD! LONG LIVE ICECREAM. So yesterday, we took apart the parlour. Craig and I have had wilder dreams (building a submarine out of truck tires, getting a job with a creative writing PhD, that all our kids would get along) but none that were enjoyed by quite so many people. When we started the parlour, we wanted to do something grand, like the Icecream parlours and milk bars that used to be all through country Australia, the ones that have been replaced... by chain stores, fast food shops and cafes where you can get a mediocre latte and a bought-in cake. We wanted it to be affordable: somewhere you could bring your family, in whatever configuration that family might be. We wanted somewhere for teenagers to hangout, and somewhere for teenagers to work. And for the past three years, it’s been all those things. Then Covid came along and there y’go, BOOM, the parlour is dead. Regional tourism collapsed. Weddings and big events, our major source of income and the subsidy for the parlour, vanished. Craig and I are both pretty shattered. I’m waking up crying at night like a middle aged baby, and have become obsessed with waste and efficiency at the same time as being exceptionally scatty. It’s a winning combination! Craig’s an old-school New Zealander so his outward expression of emotion is ummm minimal. The other day I asked him what he was feeling about the parlour ending, and he answered, Nothing. I mean I’m annoyed, but that’s not really a feeling. I love him. May he never go to the shrink. Anyway. To celebrate/commiserate/commemorate the passing of the parlour, the Icecream van will be in the old Shep’s bottle mart driveway (next door to the now ex-parlour) giving away FREE ICECREAM from 2-4 today. After today you can find us in Castlemaine at our factory outlet at The Mill, and every week at the market, and hopefully all over the place in the van once the Rona is under control. Oh and THORNBURY CONTINUES UNABATED! Hey Castlemaine, thanks for being part of our retro futurist Icecream dream. I can’t think of anything more clever to say than it was fun while it lasted! #free #icecream #castlemaine See more

05.01.2022 It’s a HOT PIE kinda day so come smash one. My personal pie smashing technique comes from growing up in a house full of animals who gathered in a panting circle ‘neath me, waiting for those flaky pastry times, times I was probably going to provide for them because, let’s face it, for me pie eating is a whole face event. At @icecreamsocialists and @pie_curious_ today!!

05.01.2022 M8s, if you're anything like me, at the moment, you're just generally pissed off about everything. So here y'go! Something to actually get pissed off about. Tax cuts for the rich. The rich are mainly male. They also have more pockets, which is I guess why the Libs keep on talking about putting more money into people's pockets. I'm almost tempted to do a trickle down economics flavour, but it would just be a flavour that never happened.

04.01.2022 Up until now, there have only really been two great sales... number one being the @thefrancocozzo GRAND SALE (which discounted things that were mysteriously untouched by time and commerce), the second being the @davidjonesstore Half Yearly Clearance of my youth (anyone else remember that posh lady saying ‘Here at David Jones, we don’t have sales. But we do have Half Yearly Clearances’... lady you were fooling no one...) BUT NOW THERE’S THE ICECREAM SOCIAL $15 ONE LITRE TUB SALE! Limited time only! All the flavours! Go ham! Tell your friends! No pushing! Don’t hit people with your handbag! Ooh maybe I’ll get security guards! Oooooh maybe I’ll get one of those long skinny blowup bois like outside a car wash! Or maybe CHEAP ICECREAM WILL BE ENOUGH!

04.01.2022 Hey would you’all be interested in a reusable Icecream container scheme? Am thinking of getting @returnr stainless containers... they’re a $6 deposit, in either a litre or 700ml sizes. Waddya reckon?

03.01.2022 If you’re like me and have been completely unable to interact with the concept of Christmas, you might’ve forgotten to put in your Christmas orders... deadline is at 9pm tonight so our Elves (that is our @elvs_swan ) can crank something out for you for pick up on Christmas Eve! #christmas #lastminute #timeisanillusion #christmastimedoublyso

02.01.2022 Friends, the great #vegan August marshmallow drought is over and hence Rocky Road is back in town. Get on it before it gets gone!

01.01.2022 Remember the bit in Ghostbusters when all the company mascots come alive? I reckon the @pie_curious_ guy would go ham and the Icecream Social come would probably make some great new friends too. #dreamsandpossibilities

01.01.2022 Gday cooperative people! All you lovely punters who want to get on board with the food co op, the shop is now live! https://more-is-morethornbury.square.site. Orders in by Tuesday, pick up in Thornbury Saturday arvo!

01.01.2022 Happy pet appreciation day everyone! I’d say that that message is from me and Bear but honestly I don’t think Bear really appreciates OTHER pets....
