Today is a day of absolutely no originality at Chez KP. It has however, been a day of delicious food. Sunday is my sleep in day which leaves the Bread Winner on morning duty. So the less said about breakfast the better. Or in my case, I could simply say ‘what breakfast?’.
By lunchtime, things have […]

I love Cup Day. There is nothing as ludicrous as a public holiday for a horse race and I love it. We totally dropped the ball on organising anything this year but fortunately we have friends who are just as slack. So an impromptu BBQ was planned at 8.30 this morning.
I had defrosted some wonderful […]

Market day makes me want to stuff as much of that freshly picked vegetable goodness into my gob as humanly possible in one day. As each day of the week passes by, they are that little bit less fresh, that little bit less nutritious. Always good until the end though.
This morning, I got caught up […]

Well, well, well, haven’t I been the uncharacteristically absent blogger this week! Lil Miss has had gastro so my attention has been on washing bed linen, mopping up, showering and trying to get the poor little pet to keep some fluids down. Just as I was starting to become concerned about her state of dehydration, […]

Here is a random nasturtiun from my back yard. Not relevant to anything else I have to say today. Just pretty.
Now that I’ve got that out of my system, I’ll move on to my next random topic. The Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge. It’s open to Australian children as individuals or as schools. The idea is […]

I don’t know if I am just uber passionate about my food loves or that I can’t grow enough of anything to give a glut large enough to actually make me sick of certain foods. Or maybe a little of both.
I let the last batch of asparagus run wild rather than eat it with great […]

Dinner tonight was eerily like dinner last night. But not. Last night was steamed vegetables on noodles with haloumi. Tonight was steamed vegetables on noodles with tahini dressing. Despite the ingredients being much the same, the flavour was vastly different. I love the versatility of the simplest vegetarian meals. In fact, had I any tamari, […]

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.

I deserted this little bloglet over the weekend in favour of particpating in real life. It happens sometimes.
On Saturday night, I gussied up, deserted Ankle Biter and the Bread Winner and headed out to a friend’s 40th. Fun, fun, fun! Bubbles, red wine, lots of lovely party food and greta conversation. Not to mention the […]

It’s a proud day at Chez KP. Son and Heir manged to ride his bicycle all the way to (and from) his swimming lesson. Which is of course where I work. So post-school holidays, I won’t have to drive to work on Wednesdays anymore. Because Son and Heir comes with me on Wednesdays.
