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 [...]

Today marks the first guest post I’ve ever had on my blog, and I must say I’m rather excited. (This is not only because my daily life has become exponentially busierwhirlingwhirling of late, and I’m quite relieved to be able to go out tonight knowing my blog is in safe and creative hands.) Casey contacted me soon after I adapted a recipe [...]

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. Electric beaters. [...]

Before last night, I had never watched a single skerrick of Eurovision. 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. It’s a surprise I didn’t enter a downward [...]

Theme: Love Recipe: Chickpeas with Pumpkin, Lemongrass, and Coriander Cookbook: Tender, by Nigel Slater When I saw that the theme for this fortnight of the Cookbook Challenge was Love, my first thought was “Bah, humbug”. Actually, that’s a lie. My first thought was actually a duet from Fiddler on the Roof, which I immediately started [...]

This fortnight’s theme for The Cookbook Challenge, Rice/Noodles, threw me through the proverbial loop. Presented me with a quandary. Was a shock to the system. Tested my mettle. 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 [...]

Dear Smurf Kitchen, It’s okay; I don’t blame you. It wasn’t your fault. How could you know that some doofus in the area would call a plumber at mid-day, without Body Corporate approval, and that said plumber would turn off the water for the entire complex? How could you know that you’d be one of [...]

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. [...]

Yesterday was my Grandpa’s 90th birthday. Tonight is the big fancy-pants celebration at The Boathouse (and the food is most certainly fancy-pants… I still get smiley when I remember the dessert I had last time I was there), but for the day of the birthday itself, my mother and I cooked for those of the family [...]
