Oh dear, it's again been quite a while since I've linked up with Celia for an In My Kitchen post so this is a big one. I may as well get started right away... ----- Kitchen shenanigans The original caption on this pic said it all: Getting back to basics - no computer or finances or real estate or real life. Just eggs, flour and bare hands kneading away the day. It was rolled and cut by hand because I couldn't be bothered with the pasta machine. Then topped with a simple pasta sauce … [Read more...]
DIY Christmas Ornaments and a very Merry Christmas to all!
You know those things that have been on your list for years before you finally get around to them? Yep, this is one of mine. Ornaments made one day last week when I should have been doing other things but, because creative distraction gene, I did this instead. A meditative break from a mountain of work, spent rolling and pressing and smoothing and cutting. Making pretty things just because I could. These DIY ornaments are impossibly easy though, so there really is no excuse. First, … [Read more...]
13 Holiday Gift Ideas for 2013
Christmas is almost here and other than a few things gifted throughout the year and a bit of a retail-therapy present to myself today, neither RJ nor I have done a single bit of holiday shopping. Whoops. We do however have a few things in mind for each other and, while Christmas morning may be a bit sparse, we'll be making up for it with the post-Christmas sales. In the meantime I figured I'd share some ideas on the off chance you are in the same boat. --------- 1. The Kinfolk Table … [Read more...]

Top 10 Items to Take to a Conference – PLUS Bonus Tips
Tomorrow I fly out to Perth for Eat.Drink.Blog -- Australia's only dedicated food blogger conference. I've been known to go to a few conferences though the years so I figure I'd share a some tips I've picked up along the way. Now this isn't a post about what shoes (flats, sandals or boots dependent on weather, something for the party), or sequined tops, or linen pants, or jeans, or sundresses to pack. It's not about why you shouldn't be nervous (because everyone is nervous). Or about how … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: September/October 2013
As good as it was to be off on another adventure it is so very good to be back in my own kitchen and eating veggies on a regular basis. I contemplated doing a collage of the food we ate while we were away but there is just too much of it... I'm not even kidding. Most of the fun things from our holiday ended up on Instagram so if you are looking to waste time, plan an eating holiday, or just make yourself hungry go for it. In the meantime here are a few things from before we left, things … [Read more...]
SABH October – Halloween!
After a few months filled with a few new fabulous guest hostesses I'm back to take my turn hosting for Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. As it is October and I do have a soft spot for all things pumpkin and Halloween, I couldn't quite resist making this month's SABH theme all about ghouls, ghosts and general trick or treat debauchery. This is your chance to use your imagination and go crazy! Put your cupcakes in a witches hat costume, dress them up as little devils or pipe on frosting in the … [Read more...]
