Meet Sandy, the founder and owner of Leckerlee. She first tasted lebkuchen at a Christmas market (Christkindlmarkt) while living in Berlin. Sandy soon became obsessed with these tasty morsels and began trying any and all varieties. When she returned to NYC, it became her mission to recreate the deliciously authentic lebkuchen she loved in Germany. And voila, Leckerlee was born!

Despite this oppressive heatwave, TGIF everyone! I wanted to share a recent blog post from a business I have worked with in the past- Waltzing Matilda's. They make incredible Aussie desserts. It's a great example of how to share information while still keeping it fun:
Blog | Waltzing Matilda's Bakery NYC
14 July 2013
Crash Course in Strine
As an American, one of the great things about traveling Down Under is that we all speak the same language. The jet lag may leave you feeling stuffed, but least you don't need to fossick through your port for a dictionary just to catch a taxi from the airport.
I thought a blog on Australian/American language differences would be fun because, well, “Waltzing Matilda” is not actually a dancing girl. The song refers to a swagman (hobo) traveling on foot (waltzing) with his Matilda (sleeping roll). I've updated the song lyrics on our website with some translations, but a warning that the song is not as upbeat as the tempo implies!
So how can you fit in when you travel to Oz? One rule is—like exaggerated fake Spanish—to add an “oh” sound to the end of words, but also shorten them. You might say, for example:
This arvo I was watching a doco about growing avos when I heard an ambo go by. Turns out some drongo choked on his Lammo!
What happened? You were watching a documentary about avocados one afternoon when you hear an ambulance go by with some idiot who choked on a Lamington.
Another pattern is to add the “ee” sound to the end of words, and—as usual—shorten them. For instance, if you want to report home about about your plans to have a morning meal then grab the proper attire and some cool snacks before heading to a remote destination, you might say:
I've got to tell my oldies that we're having brekkie then getting our cozzies, thongs, and sunnies and filling the esky with bikkies and chokkie before we toss it in the boot and leave for the back of Bourke. We'll stock up on some more food at the milk bar, and don't forget your budgie smugglers since there's a billabong there!
If you follow these simple rules for using fair dinkum Aussie words when traveling Down Under, I reckon she'll be right and you'll have a bonzer time, mate. Just try not to come a gutser as you walk on the left side of the road or they'll think you're a real bogan.
What's your favorite Aussie expression? Comment on our page!
The heat wave continues, so here is a lovely poem to cool you off:
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.
-William Carlos Williams
