One word. Fritters. Working last weekend thrwe my week into complete havoc. Not being able to get to the farmer’s market meant going to a green grocers on Thursday after the supermarket. Aside from the horridness of the greengrocer when I am used to the greengrocers, I’ve had to stretch my fruit and vegetables further [...]

Stinking hot night. Tired. Poor meal planning. No proper shop done for the week. Cranky Ankle Biters. Thank goodness for tuna salad. In our house its something that everyone loves. It’s a quick and easy way to get heaps of vegetables with a good protein punch into everyone (carbs too if served with bread or [...]

Broad Beans would be so tiresome if they were in season all year round. Removing the pods, cooking, skinning. It’s a fair bit of work. Something I’m more than happy to do in spring when they’re in season to experience their fleeting deliciousness. Joy of joy, despite my poor broad bean plants this year (almost [...]

Just the veg and haloumi alone would be enough for me. The carboholics in the family demanded more so I added some dried Chinese noodles. A squeeze of lemon juice is all this dinner needs.

Today in Melbourne it was 28 degrees. That’s my perfect. Warm enough for scanty clothing, cool anough to run. It’s the best of all possible worlds. Pure bliss. Between running and gardening and cooking, I lived life to the full today. I’m too weary too talk about it so here’s a pictorial representation of all [...]

Parental brag first. So and Heir rode over 10km today in two separate stetches. LIttle champ. I bet he sleeps well tonight. The way home was harder than the way there but he made it! Now that’s out of the way, let’s move on to food shall we? You may not be surprised to hear [...]
