Well it's official, RJ is participating in Movember this year! It was only a matter of time, ever since I went to the launch party I may have been more than a little encouraging about it all. It's actually been official since 1 November [oops] when the goatee was shaved and he started out with a fresh clean face, but now there is finally a photo to display the glory. For all the hilarity of masses of men running around for a month with 'staches that range from 'boldly stunning' to 'just a bit … [Read more...]
Pancake Face
So when I was young, my grandmother used to bribe me to go to church with her. ‘Come on, ammoninni, [pronounced ‘ah-MO-ni-ni’ and possibly spelled ‘amuninni’ it means ‘Let’s go’ in the Sicilian dialect of Italian, but we always thought it was ‘Hurry up’. It got said A-LOT] it’s Sunday, lets go to church and I’ll take you to IHOP afterward for breakfast, you can get anyyyyything you want.’ and off we would go. I remember sitting there for the hour or so and wondering what on earth required … [Read more...]
Heart Egg Toast and Garlic Mushrooms
aka Birthday-Love Brunch. Saturday was RJ's birthday and to celebrate we went to 2 parties for other people's birthday's...upside to that one, saw most of our friends and didn't have to plan a thing - nice one! That said we also went out to dinner on Friday evening ourselves [finished off with an incredible Sticky Banana Pudding with Coconut Ice Cream - there was a sparkler in it, didn't get a pic as we could not wait to dig in, maybe next time, will probably tell them again it is his … [Read more...]
New fangled technology
I've recently decided to manage my photos slightly differently on the site. So in the hunt for a decent plug-in to pull the Flickr stream through [including 2 false starts with two of the top rated ones] there has been a bit of a delay on posting! Pretty pics soon but for now, a reasonably amusing phone conversation that I had recently with a person who shall remain nameless [sort of]... [JJ] 'Hi m-m" [M] 'Hi, did you get my text messages the other day?' - 'Nope' 'Oh darn, they … [Read more...]
It’s not that I’m not thinking about you…
...I have been, really, but most of my free time not in the office [ie the job that buys the groceries and plane tickets] has been spent finishing up the packaging art for @ThePantry [!!!!!!!!!!] and not cooking, or taking pictures or doing blog posts. So instead here is some random stuff and stream of consciousness and what's been happening updates, just because.... It has been bloody cold here. The mornings hover around 8 degrees [mid-40s or so] but THERE IS NO INDOOR HEATING in most … [Read more...]
Chocolate Cake Karma
Happy Mother’s Day to mom, mum and all the other wonderful mothers out there! I hope you get a day to do whatever you need to do for yourself. Now on to the real reason we are all here...cake! I'm sharing this recipe with you based on the reaction my girlfriend had when I sent it to her recently...K and I lived together for a semester in college after I got back from my study abroad in Sydney. Other than being in the same organization, we hadn’t really hung out much until then… it ended … [Read more...]
I’d have one up all year long if I could
I was over at The Bloggess just now and although her post is about cat thumbs it is also about Christmas decorations. [BTW, she is ridiculously funny and brilliantly inappropriate, read her.] I've never had a cat with thumbs but my grandmother does, that particular cat also sits up like a kangaroo on her back haunches most of the time. Are you completely lost and confused yet, wasn't I talking about Christmas? Anyway, the post reminded my about how my mother completely boycotted taking down … [Read more...]
