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...]
10 Carry-on Essentials for a Long-haul Flight
Accessibility is everything on an airplane, no matter the length of the flight, and there are a few items to make an under-seat carry-on worth the valuable space it takes away from your feet. Some of the key components make an appearance in 10 Tips for Rocking a Long-haul Flight, but it's the extra bits and pieces that can really make a difference between being the person who alights from the gate looking fresh and one that looks like they travelled on a third-world bus. 10 Carry-on … [Read more...]

In My Kitchen: April 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month -- a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram --- in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order... However this time it's a bit more not in my kitchen than usual due to short but brilliant trip RJ and I took to Japan during the last two weeks of March. Theoretically one day I'll blog the trip but in the meantime there are a few food-related bits and pieces below and … [Read more...]
Exploring Southern Queensland Country: Pie, Wine, Cheese and Bushwalking in the Granite Belt
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Queensland, with its copious expanses of white sand, blue water, and miles upon miles of coastline was little other than a nearly never-ending summer...

I don't do winter well. I'd take sweltering over cold any day -- and the fact that the lowest Sydney winter temps are still significantly higher than the north-east America-land ones I grew up with matters little when I have to get out of bed each morning to an un-heated apartment. Now Sydney has been gracing us with well above average late-autumn temps this year, but even so we are looking straight into three months of cold before things begin to look up again. It's about this time … [Read more...]
An Apple a Day in Bilpin, NSW
Summers are spent squinting through sparkling sunshine, letting the nectar of soft stonefruit drip and sizzle on the pavement, relishing the rich summer bounty with pies and salsas and unadorned fruit. But well before autumn comes knocking in Sydney, while we are all still savouring days at the beach and endless twilight evenings, there are signs heralding the imminent change in seasons. Slowly and surely the warmth of summer is replaced by the crisp snap of autumn and with it, the crisp snap … [Read more...]
