Conversations with RJ... J: Do you want a cookie-cake thing for the car? R: YES PLEASE. What's in them?... Cranberries? J: Yep, but I could have added any dried fruit really, the original recipe calls for currants. R: Oh, currants would be nice. J: You don't even know what a current is. R: Yes I do, it's like a raisin, but on a salad. J: Oh you've just written the start of my post. Also, bwahahaha. Have you ever visited a blog and thought you yourself, "I recognise the name and know … [Read more...]
Turkey Ragu
He always orders the house-made pappardelle, I always order the seafood pasta. We share the cabbage and walnut salad and spoon-battle over the last skerricks of dessert. The ragu on the pappardelle changes each time, and while variations of beef and lamb are on regular rotation, turkey has only appeared once at our regular date night haunt... The tacchino was ordered with a touch of hesitation, lunchmeat and overcooked Christmas roll far too vivid in his memory, but with one bite all bets … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: November 2014
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order.

Kimchi Grilled Cheese
Apparently I'm on the local magpie mafia hit list. The first attempt came out of the blue as I was buzzed by a particularly aggressive black and white bird while walking down a path at a local reserve. I took my hair clip out thinking that may have been its target -- but the angry bugger wasn't having it and circled around for another pass. With a feeling the attempts on my life weren't going to stop any time soon I turned to see where the hired-gun had landed and made eye contact -- I now … [Read more...]

Vegan Pineapple Pancakes & Spiced Rum Caramel Syrup
I'm really quite well behaved when dining in public. I know which bread plate and glasses are mine (bread on the left, wine and water on the right) and to keep my napkin on my lap until vacating the table at the end of the meal. I'm well versed in what cutlery to use for what course (start from the outside and move in, thank you very much Pretty Woman) and where to place said cutlery to indicate I've finished (handles at 5 o'clock, fork tongs up to the ceiling or down to the plate depending … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: October 2014
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans I've been a bit tied up with work lately (hence it being quiet on the blog front) and the other day I finished one of the bigger projects.
