So today I made a mad trek out to Kew and then Burwood to find blood oranges. This is because I want to make Joff blood orange sorbet as part of my culinary birthday present to him. It took a ridiculously long tram ride, well one ridiculously long one because of replacement bus services, and the other because 17km is… Read more →
Midnight Feast
So at midnight, I have finally finished an peach and passion fruit crumble. I also photo blogged how this came to be. Right, so I bought peaches at the market today, again, because they were cheap. I had no idea what I would do with them aside from eat them. Saturday night boredom at its height, meant I decided to… Read more →
Still baking.
Currently making a peach and passion fruit crumble. Photos to come, because as you can tell, this is how I’m spending my Saturday night. (Also just finished watching some amusing comedy sketch shows and now onto the film In Bruges) Read more →

BBQ prep
So on Australia Day Joff is having a BBQ, it is also the day after his 31st birthday. I went to QV Market, Aldi and Woolies to get some stuff to prep for the BBQ. At the market cherries were so cheap I couldn’t resist. Sarah and I made a cherry pie in November after Joff had bought a kg… Read more →

This is dinner, which I made for Will. This meal was pretty good, excessively lush flavour. Its Pan-fried Gurnard, on Orzo with Poached Pear. This is… Read more →
For my 300th Post

This was shown to me by Rhett (Bailing Bucket) who is a friend of mine, which I had the pleasure to share beers with in Calgary last year, after a failed meet up in Austin. This video is by Tanya Davis, who is a few degrees of separation from Rhett. I think it’s… Read more →
Late night ramble
I woke up this morning from a very long sleep to see this stuck on my computer screen. I did have a slurpee after the Wet Wings show at Bar Open. I guess this was part of what was going through my head at the time. Not sure what else was. Read more →
The Morning Benders at the Corner Hotel
There is a little bit of a story on how I discovered the music of The Morning Benders: Last year, while in London, I worked with a girl named Gemma. She sat directly in front of me, and we would frequently trade band suggestions back and forth. For around a week she talked at length about a band called ‘The… Read more →
