In just a few hours we are off on a bit of an adventure... well that's if you call 11 weeks, 'a bit'. You see, RJ and I have itchy feet. For two people who didn't really start traveling until their early twenties - unless you count summers at the Jersey Shore or school holidays up at The Entrance as 'traveling' - we don't tend to stay still very well. It started almost as soon as we met. Three months in we booked around-the-world tickets - there were two weddings and a visa renewal to attend … [Read more...]
Sicilian Sardines
I have been trying to churn through pics of events to post a bit of a 'what I've been up to' wrap up - yeah, maybe soon. I've been working through a restaurant meal or two to share our delicious adventures - yeah, maybe soon. Not to mention it's been a bit cake-crazy round these parts lately! So instead, a savory QuickBites recipe. As much as I love a slightly complicated cake or a multi-dish seafood feast, sometimes you just want good food, fast. One pan, throw it all in, eat standing up at … [Read more...]
Chilli, Honey & Lemon Tea… or cure for the dreaded lurgy
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...]
Vegan Vanilla & Chocolate Cashew Cheesecake
I don't do normal particularly well - especially when it comes to recipes. I always have to go slightly left of centre, or right, whatever, but rarely straight down the middle. I make pies with beetroot or purple carrots, I make ice cream with avocados, I make sandwiches with fruit. So when we chose 'Nuts' as the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop theme for July my mind started ticking away. Baklava did occur to me, as it had for our 'Layers' theme in March, but the same thing that put me off of it … [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...]
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...]
Pear, Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Jam Sandwich
Have you ever eaten a pear straight off a tree? It is an experience like no other - although closely related to biting into a peach still warm from the sun while standing at the edge of the orchard where they were grown, or munching on sweet corn only snapped off the stalk hours before hitting the table. In my About profile pic I'm standing in my mum's vineyard under a tree... a pear tree to be exact. Skirting the edges of the grape rows are a few pockets of these trees - remnants of an … [Read more...]
