Sydney is rapidly sinking in a big'ol vat of the flu. Everywhere you look people are sick and as per acceptable and encouraged practice, they are all being-strong-and-pushing-through which translates literally to coming-to-work-when-they-should-be-home-in-bed-sharing-germs-with-their-cats-instead-of-with-me. Needless to say after weeks of public transport with strangers coughing everywhere and meetings with workmates sniffling away, I woke up the other morning with a throat like sandpaper and … [Read more...]
Purple Carrot Anniversary Pie
Sooo, most of the time, although there is always a healthy rant waiting just around the corner, things here are generally covered in cocoa powder and sprinkled with glittery, shiny stuff. Well, the truth is that I've been a bit, scattered, lately. The daily grind seems to be getting the better of me and my little corner of the interwebz is taking the brunt of the resultant neglect... It started somewhere around February or March when my laptop [that had not been backed up since November] died … [Read more...]
Noosa International Food & Wine 2012 – Part 2 of 3
I know, I know, Part 1 was a bit of a tease... some travel, a few treats but not too much of the food from the Noosa International Food & Wine Festival - so very unfair of me! Well then, lets get to it with some of the notable dishes from the Food & Wine Kiosks and a few of the Demos. So much tasting happened on Saturday in The Grand Marquee we didn't partake in too many of the plates on offer at the Kiosks - and the meaty ones RJ ate escaped my camera lens - but these are the ones … [Read more...]
Noosa International Food & Wine 2012 – Part 1 of 3
I love a good food festival so when I saw that the Noosa International Food & Wine Festival was being held over the weekend of my birthday it was a great excuse for RJ and I to get away for a few days. Before I get into the pics however, a bit about NIFW12... with events spanning from Thursday evening to Sunday night, there are a few parts to this festival. Food & Wine Kiosks: local restaurants, chefs and celebrities serving up one or two dishes and wineries pouring glasses of … [Read more...]

Hartsyard Seed & Feed – Newtown, Sydney
There's a new kid on the block in Newtown. A warm welcoming space, it has enough rustic wood and homestead touches to make it cozy, enough industrial metal and geometric textured artwork to make it chic, and a menu that will have you planning a return visit just to try all the things you didn't order first time around. Hartsyard Seed & Feed is at first impression exactly as described on their site 'An inner-city homestead built for comfort and conversation'. Warm and inviting, it's a … [Read more...]
Fluffy Blueberry & Spelt Vegan Pancakes
No matter how beautiful the view, it is always difficult living somewhere that is at least a 24hr trip away from family and friends. But it is always a bit more, obvious, when there's happy news, difficult times, special occasions and holidays which would otherwise be spent with those who are far away. Now on this weekend in many cities around the globe there are fun runs for Mother's Day. Sydney has the MDC each year and RJ and I have done it off and on over time, but growing up my family … [Read more...]
