Thank you for your fantastimical and not-soul-destroying responses to my cavorting video post! Just so you know, my slow-motion moves are available for birthday parties, weddings, anniversary dinners, and work shindigs. My imaginary agent tells me that my imaginary bookings line has been ringing non-stop in an imaginary way, so if you want to hire [...]

I’ve been meaning to write this post since March. But how do you put into words something that is so right and yet so beyond your own realm of experience? How do you convey the moment when you realise that it truly is possible for two people to fit together utterly and completely? How do [...]

I grew up in a strictly anti-kitchen-gadget household. My mother abhors anything that isn’t the most basic and utilitarian of appliances, and so while my primary school friends had magical objects in their kitchens like waffle makers! popcorn makers! snowcone makers! jaffle makers! fairy floss makers! and so on, I had… A kettle.

Even when, years ago, a university lecturer instructed my class to watch it as a corollary to our “Europe in the Modern Era” course, I didn’t bother. I know, I know. I’m such a rebel.

Actually, that’s a lie. My first thought was actually a duet from Fiddler on the Roof, which I immediately started [...]

And other such well-worn phrases. You know how, in cartoons, there are often scenes in which the protagonist is faced with a dilemma and – pop! – [...]

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! The day didn’t start with an amuse bouche. That would be ridiculous. Who wants to eat a coconut, avocado, and cucumber [...]

Don’t look at me like that. There’s no need for sceptical looks and raised eyebrows. And hey, you in the back there! Yes, you, hiding behind the famous food blogger from Sydney. Close your mouth. Are you trying to swallow a fly? I know it’s hard to believe, but you needn’t act quite so incredulous. [...]
