At this moment in Australia there is a plebiscite (a postal survey to gather opinions) asking Australians if same-sex marriage should be legalised. It is, at its best, ridiculous. Politicians shirking responsibility of actually having to make a decision on a highly contentious, emotionally charged topic that is in reality a matter of equal rights law, not personal opinion, is not only insidious but truly irresponsible. For starters the postal vote is optional (in a country where voting is … [Read more...]
A Dozen Ways to Add Veggies to Your Breakfast Bowl
Who knew adding veggies to your breakfast bowl could be such a shocking (SHOCKING!) idea? Apparently the concept is confronting and unusual and unexpected, yet -- as someone who adds veggies to porridge more days than not -- I find the reaction to the idea as shocking and unexpected as the idea itself. It is however all a matter of packaging (isn't everything?). I recently shot some photos and videos for the #mybrekkiebowl campaign, and as part of the press release I was quoted … [Read more...]
How to Make Couscous & The Hidden Side of Couscous for Comment
There is currently a storm raging through the Australian restaurant industry and its related media outlets. If you aren't in the middle of the food media field it may have blown right by you like a soft breeze, barely ruffling a hair on your head, but if you are in the midst of people who work and live food there's no way you've missed the hurricane. In brief, a person who fed her restaurant habit (pun entirely intended) by exchanging Instagram coverage for free meals approached the wrong … [Read more...]
Vegan & Gluten Free Teff Anzac Biscuits
Sometimes baking is the only solution. Spoon, measure, stir, pour, the motions happen almost automatically, ingrained in my mussels it seems. But as my hands move on their own they in turn leave my mind free to spin and swirl. It's a dangerous situation at best. And so it was, as rain spattered the window and clouds darkened the sky in waves, my swirling mind swirled -- then paused briefly, not on our (now distant memory it seems) brunching and sunsetting all over the place, but on the … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: December 2015 – February 2016
I'm simply not sure what keeps happening to the days these days. It seems every time I turn around another month (or middle of the month or end of the month) is upon us and it makes me twitch. As such it's once again been a while between In My Kitchen posts but I'm here now so lets get going shall we? As per usual this is a collection of things seen over on Instagram — reasonably edited, grouped in loosely interpreted categories and appearing no particular order. The Day Job Ok, I do know … [Read more...]
Lemon, Macadamia & Coconut Raw Truffles
Round about 5 years ago, give or take a few days, 84th & 3rd was born. It happened -- without buildup, without fanfare, without a repository of content, without thousands of Instagram followers, but with a single post that told a short story about my life at that very moment. To say the blogging landscape has changed exponentially in the past 5 years (much less the past 10 or 15) is an understatement. New blogs are launched these days with events to rival book releases, with build up … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: September – November 2015
Well, well, well it's been a while between In My Kitchen posts now hasn't it. But I'm back (from the holidays that fed Instagram until it had to put on elastic waist pants, yet neglected proper posts until even the tumbleweeds lost interest) with an overflowing batch of three months worth of IMK goodies. As per usual this is a collection of things seen over on Instagram — reasonably edited, grouped in loosely interpreted categories and appearing no particular order. You've totally missed … [Read more...]
