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...]
Food, glorious food
So, cooking takes much longer when snapping photos along the way - and I was told by RJ on x-mas day that I was acting like a tourist - but you know what, it makes me drool looking back at the pics! You may want to have a snack nearby just in case... Stuffing and Candied Sweet Potatoes to start the feast. The Stuffing actually fell in the 'aligned with the detox' category.

Plus, the baking has begun...Gingerbread is first off the ranks, more to follow in the ramp up to Saturday. … [Read more...]
There’s one in every neighbourhood
Don't get me wrong, I do love Sydney, but x-mas is never quite the same over here for a couple of reasons......1. as nice as it is to go to the beach on x-mas day, some how cold and snow is the only way it truly feels like the holidays..... 2. have you ever tried to bake pies and turkey in 90 degree heat? [aka 32 degrees but that is for another day!].....3. no cousins all packed into one house for days on end, no hours of board games, way less than 25 people at the table for lunch.....4. … [Read more...]
