Food Porn: Lemon and Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Food Porn: Lemon and Garlic Smashed Potatoes

This idea also came from this episode of Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute dinners. What can I say? If nothing else I’m efficient!   What you’ll need: Baby potatoes (I use about a kilo, but you could use less depending on how much you need and your level of potato love) A bulb of garlic One lemon Olive [...]

Food Porn: Oven Roasted Chilli and Cheese Mushrooms

Food Porn: Oven Roasted Chilli and Cheese Mushrooms

  I watch a whole lot of the food network. I find it soothing. I can’t really explain why. I am equally as passionate about cooking shows that have extremely low relevance to me as those that do. I can quite happily watch a show about seafood for hours and I’m vegetarian. Along the way [...]

Brain Cell Genocide

Occasionally I tweet something and I am so taken with a turn of phrase that I turn it into a blog post. This is one of those times. This is about Morning ‘news’ programs. I use quotation marks for news because I’m not sold on the idea that they are providing me with news or [...]

Working Hard or Not at All

Work falls into my lap every now and again. Which is a pretty awesome thing right there. To receive things without having to seek them out. And I usually accept work eagerly. For a few reasons. I like it. It’s great to make my own money from time to time. And somewhere in the back [...]

Every Now and Then I Make a Joke That I Have to Explain

Thumbnail image for Every Now and Then I Make a Joke That I Have to Explain

It happens. And then you just get the blank stare in return. Nothing. If I have to explain the joke, then I’m pretty sure it’s not a good sign. It happens regularly enough at home with my husband and on twitter just to remind me that I am weird. Benefit of children. It doesn’t matter [...]

Laksa isn’t hard to make from home but there are alot of ingredients and so most of the time I cheat. There I said it. It will never be as good as the laksa from CBD Noddles. Seriously, if you are in Sydney. GO THERE. It is so worth it. Any time I’m anywhere near [...]

Wallpaper

Once I was good at melting into walls. I still am I guess. Like wallpaper. It was actually impressive how well it worked. People would have entire conversations without ever noticing that I was there. Which kind of made me the ultimate people watcher. It still happens sometimes. Even though now it’s not always on [...]

Internet? It’s Time For You To Be Awesome

{Image from here} I only know one person who has died of cancer. That’s one person too many. And whether you have time, as your body gives way, to soak in everything that you will miss, everything that you won’t get to see until the strength of your spirit can’t hold your body up anymore [...]
