It was my mum’s 60th birthday this past Saturday. Happy birthday mama-dear! You fill up my life with sparkles of support and love and laughter and wisdom, and it’s only 8% frustrating and 92% wonderful that you’re pretty much always right about everything.

I’ve wanted to blog about Iori for quite some time now. It’s long been one of my favourite Canberran restaurants, and I’ve honed my order into entree-main-dessert perfection. Unfortunately, Iori is tucked in a building without windows, which means the lighting is always low and not conducive to good photography. Ergo no blogging. However, I [...]

First and foremost, I have to say the most splendiferous, exuberant, metaphorical-hug-filled, joyous, honoured, grateful, and shimmering thank you to everyone who emailed, texted, messaged, and blog-commented such wonderful birthday wishes to me yesterday. It was you who turned a rather lacklustre and potentially cry-worthy day into a day of smiles. Thank you. I have [...]

Happy 91st birthday to my wonderful, thoughtful, brave, kind, and ever-supportive Grandpa! Words cannot express how much I treasure our afternoons playing Crib together, your smile and love of literature, our mutual distaste for casseroles containing squidgy fruits, and the way you make me feel cherished, just the way I am. I’ll never forget waking [...]

For anyone visiting from Oh She Glows, welcome! Just for you, I’m posting the vegan chocolate pudding recipe I made for my dad’s birthday dinner last week. Enjoy! While I was standing at the stove-top stirring the above vegan chocolate pudding into existence, I thought about some of the traits that my dad and I have [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, today is my birthday and my main present came from a real estate agent: my very own Smurf Kitchen. I’m glad the universe was sorting that out for me, as amidst the house-sit ending, the apartment-hunting, and the ongoing anxiety about my toe*, I kept forgetting that my birthday existed. As a result, [...]
