Love, war, obsession, seduction, death. It pretty much covers the various events experienced in any opera, but throw in a bull fight, fireworks and a stage built in the middle of a harbour and all of a sudden a classic opera becomes an event not to be missed. Last Tuesday evening RJ and I had an opportunity to attend the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour production of Carmen. Despite my living in Sydney for almost a decade and RJ growing up here, neither of us had ever been to an opera … [Read more...]
Seasonal Sunday Lunch launch!
I am so excited to officially share my newest project with you. I've been hinting here and there, talking in low tones and whispers, but I've never been too good at using my inside-voice for extended periods of time. So without any further ado, you're invited to lunch! Seasonal Sunday Lunch is an international grass-roots movement that aims to raise awareness of seasonal produce and encourage mindful seasonal eating in the simplest, most enticing way: by gathering friends and family for a … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Fudge, PLUS 11 flavour twists
Chocolate always wins. It really isn't fair to everything else - the noodle soups, the sides, the dips, the salads - always take second at best. Poor fried rice, you can come to my house any day. Ok, so what am I on about? You see, I have an enormous backlog of posts... While I do enjoy the picture editing and post writing, I'd rather create and cook and photograph over anything else, and as I'm at home during the day most of my meals get styled and propped before being eaten. So over the … [Read more...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop April: Seasonal Produce #SABH
Hey, guess what, I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop again this month! Last month we were dancing in the penthouse with a 'Cocktail Party' theme and some fabulous Cocktail inspired desserts.

French Butter Pastry – or the flakiest, strangest, most genius pie crust you’ll ever make
I fear I've been a little, flaky, lately. I'm trying to keep up appearances but somewhere among all the sauces and drinks and sugar laden treats round these parts I feel a touch lost. My Berry Filled Hot Cross Buns were a redemption of sorts but I look at all the unpublished, healthy meals sitting on my computer and in my camera and simply sigh. In addition to the usual juggling act there is quite a big project I've been working on and a few other things that will hopefully come through … [Read more...]
April Photo Challenge 2013 #aprilfoodphotos: The Foodie Photo-A-Day!
Welcome to the April 2013 Foodie Photo-A-Day Challenge! Thanks to everyone who has joined us over the past few months, I get such a kick out of seeing all the photos and interpretations of the prompts. While the usual suspects - seasonal, meatless and a few others - are still on the list I've got some interesting new ones too this month. I’ll be playing along on Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr, and I’ve also joined Vine recently too – as ’84thand3rd’, of course – so a video may show up … [Read more...]
