The Bread Winner works hard for his family. He’s a great provider, a wonderful father and a fabulous husband. Sadly the providing segment of his duties takes him from his loving wife’s side more than is ideal. This week more so than usual. Things reached ridiculous last night when he had a 1am phone meeting […]
We like to mix things up a little round here. So I took a salad, added some grated cheese, sour cream and freshly made corn tortillas. Yum. Although perhaps serving beans for both lunch and dinner was overkill. Maybe we should stay out of the public arena for awhile. Southwestern Black Bean Salad from Tossed, […]
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 […]
It may not be as warm as I would like just yet but salads can still be just right. They just need a bit of warmth to them. I served this with freshly baked pain de campagne. A perfect combination. Eggplant and Lentil Salad adapted from Tossed by Jane Lawson 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 […]

Today was another wonderful, warm Melbourne spring day. Complete with somewhat annoying trademark Melbourne gale force winds. The Ankle Biters and I were out the door by 7.45am and on our way to the farmers market at Collingwood Children’s Farm. As were half the inhabitants on Melbourne (or so it seemed). photo by pinkcocoa, some […]
Today was officially the first short sleeve and sandal day of spring in Melbourne. Utter bliss. Made even more enjoyable by my freshly spring cleaned windows. I’m in my happy place. Just as at the start of the colder weather, soup is a fabulous meal that it seems impossible to tire of, the advent of […]
Its been a while coming but here are the recipes from our recent dinner party. chorizo in potatoes I read about these in a Gourmet Traveller whilst sitting in a cafe in Sydney recently. I didn’t copy the recipe but it’s pretty simple so I probably did the same thing as the original recipe specified. […]
I think I’ve made it perfectly clear that I have a definite thing for Vietnamese food. Malaysian food comes not far behind in my list of favourite cuisines. My favourite of all Malaysian food is Roti Chanai. Which made me very happy to find a great roti recipe on Food Safari. Naturally I used the […]
It’s still very hot in Melbourne. Really hot. It’s unusual to get a heatwave this long lasting here. I’ll miss it when it’s done. Perfect salad weather. Which is lucky because as usual on a Monday, I’m quite rushed between kinder, work, food shopping, laundry and so on. I found some falafel mix in the […]
