Sometimes when I make a good looking meal, I feel the need to take a picture of it before devouring it. The above was the start of a delicious fruit smootie made in Melbourne. 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
How To Be Alone by Tanya Davis. 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 →
Win!
It feels like I’ve just had a bit of a win at life moment. I have found an awfully good Mediterranean food warehouse 2 blocks from my brother’s apartment. I went and bought a lot of small bits to make dinners with for the princely sum of $7. They also have Orzo (Rice Pasta) Yay! The list of what I… Read more →
Tea cups
Is it possible to be in love with a tea cup? I think I’ve found the perfect ones at T2. I must stay away from this store until I am rich. Hah. That’s a good joke. I wish the website had a better picture. Read more →
Morningtown Ride
I was just watching episode 3 of The Trip with Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan. The two of them have a sing along in the car of The Seekers – ‘Morningtown Ride’. Its a song my Dad used to sing to me as a little child. Weird how I just heard the lyrics and it all came back to me.… Read more →
Monday
I woke up this morning feeling muggy and gross. It had been raining all night, and the air conditioning was now off. I have no idea what the high temperature was today; but coupled with the rain it made for a sweaty bad time. Aside from my trip to Medicare to do my rebates, I stayed inside mostly and cleaned.… Read more →

35 Degrees and Baking
Right, so today I went to IKEA and forced Joff into buying homewares. It is so I avoid doing it myself. It was really hot today. I think it got to 35. I know I am slowly going to have to brace myself to get used to the heat. We don’t really have any dinner food, perhaps this should have… Read more →
