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...]

You know what they say about the best intentions... Looks like it wasn't quite low maintenance enough. Oops. … [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...]
Thanks y’all
Around November I was looking at the artist list for this year's Bluesfest in Byron and amongst one of the most amazing lineups I have ever seen there was The Indigo Girls. We decided not to brave the madness at the festival over Easter [back when I went - many moons ago - it was tens-of-thousands in attendance instead of over a hundred thousand and really, I can't be bothered to share porta-potties with that many people anymore, no matter how legendary the bands are], so instead, for Christmas … [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...]
Bounty Bites
Everyone needs to have a treat every now and then. If it ticks the healthy and satisfying and moorish boxes all at once, even better. I found these Organic Dates on sale the other day and had to do something with them. All of the flavours in these little morsels of goodness meld together beautifully and nothing overpowers. I could have called them Coconut-Chocolate-Date-Nut-Truffle-Balls, but Bounty Bites just sounds nicer to me... Make sure you don’t miss the alternate recipe combination … [Read more...]
