Last weekend, my choir and I went on our Two Rivers Tour, performing in little Jindera and bigger Wagga Wagga. I’d been a bit nervous about how it would go, but I needn’t have worried. The tour was superfantasticalmagoricalwondertastic, and even though I barely had a moment to catch my breath between leaving home at [...]

Every now and again, it’s possible to come across chocolates that make you cry inside. Not because they’re awful, but because they could have been so much better. It’s a bit like when you were in kindergarten and, at the end of the year, you found out you’d been cast as an angel in your [...]

This post is being brought to you by a warp in the space-time continuum. As I write, it is Friday night, and I have just packed some clothes, pyjamas, a tiny heater borrowed from work, chocolate, and a book into an overnight bag. I am also, as I write, slightly emotionally exhausted, as I had [...]

As you may well understand, eating ten desserts in one night – and then dinner after that – is not only an extraordinary feat for two young ladies (and the fellow attached to one of them), but it’s a bit much for just one blog post. As a result, I’ve broken my Melbourne Reverse Dinner [...]

Yesterday, a diverse group of Canberran bloggers met up in an inner-city cafe to toast both new and established friendships over multiple rounds of coffee, tea, cake, and cookies, courtesy of the generous folk at Nuffnang. The majority of us had never met in person before, but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt in recent [...]

First, please accept these hundred thousand grateful thank you hugs for your lovely responses to my last post. I can’t help feeling vulnerable whenever I stray from my standard light-hearted, self-lambasting, and/or food-focused styles of writing, and I feel very honoured that I’ve never received anything but support from all you wonderful, beautiful, kind people [...]

I was going to write about a really fantastic chocolate today. Or I was going to keep telling you about Melbourne. Or I was going to describe to you the rather tasty dessert I made, several weeks ago now, for a dinner party with friends. But then I came across these lines in the book [...]

Theme: Blue Recipe: Very Blueberry Smoothie Cookbook: Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen You know what I am? (Apart from slightly sick with a cold, slightly distracted by a longing for things I can’t quite describe, and slightly full from a surplus of pumpkin chips…) I am slightly behind on The Cookbook Challenge. Or, to be entirely [...]

Where did we leave off with my Melbourne Adventuring? Ah, yes. I’d heard that my brother had broken his friend Eagle’s nose, and I’d just got into a car with two strangers who had offered me candy. Think I’m joking? I’m really not. A car drove up to my brother’s house, a girl I’d never [...]
