STOP PRESS. Remember how, a few posts ago, I rhapsodized over my homemade chocolate coconut hazelnut butter? Sure you do. Here’s a photo to jog your memory: Several of you wonderful people immediately dashed off to your kitchen(s) to try your hand(s) at this decadent nut butter, and I was elated to discover that you [...]

It’s been a strange week. Saturday I spent the day being all calm and stretchy at a five-hour yoga retreat. Sunday I baked caramel walnut slice to negate the frustration that is discovering a stowaway virus on one’s laptop. (There’s something amusing about using the term “one”, isn’t there?

Once upon a time, a newly-minted working girl* (oh, get your mind out of the gutter) was sent to Sydney to attend a meeting.
