Happy Cinco de Mayo! Lunch was punctuated today by the stylings of a mariachi band outside of Guzman y Gomez. Even better, $5 burritos in celebration of the day. … [Read more...]
And then your brain says YES
Because sometimes you DON'T EVEN KNOW you required something like a hamburger that provides 2 days of fat and calories or a new car with an Ipod connector or cereal with a little toy or a loan of money, and then you see an ad or get an email and suddenly you know, YES I NEED THAT THING that I didn't know I needed but have been conveniently pre-approved for! Then again, maybe not today. But I'm sure there will be something else tomorrow. … [Read more...]

The kitchen vortex
On the weekends the kitchen just sucks me in. Today went something like this...went for a walk; RJ wanted Moroccan Lamb Shanks for dinner - easy - so we stopped at the shops for meat; had to get onions and found bananas on the clearance veg rack; because I got bananas and we already had some as well, decided to make Banana Bread; rather than my usual non-meat variation on the Lamb Shanks figured that it was a good chance to try out the homemade Seitan recipe; needed Polenta to go with the … [Read more...]

Lollypops or jawbreakers?
I sent a client a link to a staged website today with instruction that she could look but not touch, or comment, or share it around...kind of like giving a kid the keys to the candy story with the proviso that they can play inside but can't have any of the sweets or tell any of their friends - and can pick out one thing for after dinner...in two weeks time. Modern day water torture. … [Read more...]
Singapore Chili Crab
The great thing about a country that is more concerned with having a few days off than with public holiday political correctness is that everyone gets a 4 day break for the Easter Long Weekend. This year, Anzac Day happened at the same time and we all ended up with 5 glorious [albeit rainy] days off. Thursday was like Friday, Saturday lasted for 4 days and Tuesday evening has had that Sunday feel about it... We did very little for most of it and I cooked alot. [I know 'alot' is not really a word … [Read more...]
