As promised, this is the first recipe in my Pimped Out Uber Fairy Bread series. I was going to make an acronym out of that, but I’m not going to anymore. The reasons why aren’t important. Let’s just all stay…
Today folks, we are taking fairy bread to new heights. For those of you reading from a country other than Australia or New Zealand, fairy bread is a kid’s party food absolutely ubiquitous with the under 9 set, and…
Writing is harder than cooking, and here’s why. After reading this excellent article on my new favourite site of all time, I got to thinking about what prevents me from creating as many posts as a human post-making machine can…
Let’s talk about perfection. A lot of people would say it’s completely unattainable. And with the sound of the most godawful dub step techno, not so quietly pumping it’s way under my front door, it would be easy for me…
Can you be a realist and a dreamer at the same time? I say yes. It’s the only way I can think of to describe my mindset. Almost anyone who has contact with me will be aware of the fact…
Bad-assery is a very important part of the everyday for me. It is how one goes from feeling generally morose, to having a full blown sense of triumph and ability. Below, I have compiled a list of things that any…
My boyfriend and I talk far too much. I have had people comment on the fact that we have too much to discuss for two people who have been together for 5 years now. I put it down to two…
I have always thought how much fun it would be to be a kid, and go back to primary school and early high school knowing what you know now. Think of all the situations you could save yourself from! The…
I know I have posted a recipe for cinnamon scrolls before, but they are one of my very favourite things, either to cook or to eat, and they are so delicious, that I can’t help myself. Anyway, repetition can’t be…
There are fewer things that bring joy and warmth and happiness to people better than home made jam. I love to cook, to bake and to make things for people to eat. Purely because it makes me happy. It makes…
Chocolate chip pancakes always remind me of the Parent Trap. You know that movie from back when Lindsay Lohan was a freckly red headed kid, and her dad was Dennis Quaid? Well, she played a set of twins who –…
No regrets. A lot of people would tell you to live a life with no regrets. I can see the appeal. Regrets are always the things that you look back on and say, if only. But I think a life…
Twitter is up there for my number one favourite thing I’ve discovered about 7 years after everyone else. Like everyone else, I am secretly really attached to the idea of trying to get as many followers as I can –…
Never have I felt a stronger kinship with a fictional character, than when Liz Lemon of 30 Rock discussed sandwiches with Jack Donaghy on their way to Stone Mountain: Liz: Can I share with you my world view? Jack: I’d…
I am the kind of person who, though it may not always seem like it, is prone to bouts of extreme sentimentality. For example; I still have the teddy bear that I loved as a child (and still love, though…
There are some cultural hot-spots in our fair city and some equally funky places to eat. Sometimes the two collide, and a nifty little eatery opens up somewhere equally nifty. Enter; Happy Little Dumplings. The James St Happy Little Dumplings…
Fun fact everybody – you can now hear from me at irregular intervals responding to the events of a life in 140 characters or less at all hours of the day and night. I might even say something stupid. That’s…
So, what did I know about the bun mobile before going in? I was aware that they serve up a type of steamed white Asian bun, filled with a variety of exotic ingredients. I had heard tell of mythically tasty…
Hard work is a bitch – why, you ask? It’s hard. It takes time. It takes effort. It makes me sleepy. It’s too hard. So many reasons, and none of them any good. There is some work here that needs…
I’ll soon be adding book reviews so stay tuned!
They say that it doesn’t take long to get over travel if you have to do it for work. I think I would like the opportunity to know, though. To whirlwind through Europe or over to the States for a…
