How do you feel about taking a little break from Christmas-themed posts today? Never you fear, I still plan to tell you about the non-pudding dessert I made for Christmas lunch and the restaurant my family went to on Christmas Eve, but I can’t help wanting to change tack for a second. My original plan [...]

About a week before Christmas, I popped over to my parents’ place to tell them about how the dachshund I was house-sitting for had got into my completely zipped-up suitcase (which had been on top of the dining room table) and chewed up a month’s worth of the pill. He’s just lucky I’m still exceedingly [...]

Lies! Filthy lies! We were totally amuse[d]. And by amuse[d], of course, I mean that on Christmas Day my family started off our celebrations with a delicious, creamy, summery, and almost-vegan amuse bouche. Lies!

At the time, I much preferred the silky, slighty-chewy, rich, sweetened-condensed-milk-and-cocoa truffles to the offal. I [...]

Time: 11:12pm, Tuesday, December 21st. Setting: My bedroom. I had just disconnected from the Internet, taken off my glasses, and reached to pick up Love in a Cold Climate for some pre-sleep reading when I saw it. Across the room, a large black shape the size of a 20 cent coin rested on the ledge [...]

If you’re anything like me, you’re currently feeling overwhelmed by all the enticing sweet creations that are taking the blogworld by storm this holiday season. I’ve bookmarked more vegan snickerdoodles, candy cane biscotti, mini cheesecakes, coconut-butter-based truffles, and Things With Icing than I could make in a year, let alone in the next week. Are any of [...]

Thought #1: I’m not very good at sleeping. Subsequently, I often wish there was a switch I could flick to turn my mind off and put myself to sleep. But then, at 2am last night, I had the horrifying realisation that if I had to flick a switch to make my brain stop thinking and go [...]

Melbourne seems to enjoy toying with my dignity and, by correlation, my sense of self. First, I was Adventurous Raw Vegan Cheesecake Girl, then I was Almost-Naked-Heatstroke-Fool Girl, and after that I was Costco Conqueror Girl. Have you picked the pattern yet? It goes like this: positive self-identity, negative self-identity, positive self-identity… I think you can guess [...]
