Almost a year ago (I have a somewhat tenuous relationship with time on this blog), my grandparents celebrated sixty gorgeous years of marriage and togetherness. Sixty years spanning multiple states and houses, sixty years that have taken them from the days of fresh milk dropped off at the door by a man with a horse [...]
It always feels right to me that Mast Brothers Chocolate has the name that it does, for almost every Mast Brothers Chocolate bar that I’ve tried and reviewed has come to me courtesy of my spectacular brother, E.TeacherLord (excuse me for a moment: ain’t no thang; add a drop of lavender to your milk, leave [...]

Thank you to everyone who sent me (and my family) such wonderful Christmas wishes via my last two posts! I hope that you all had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas (or other holiday), filled with happiness, laughter, deliciousness, hugs, and fortune-telling fish.

I know that my posts of late have been rather verbose (by the by, thank you so much for your incredible responses to yesterday’s post). As a result, I’ll try keep to today’s short-and-sweet for you. 1. This vegan Maple Coconut Tahini Granola is quite possibly the best granola I’ve ever made (although I’ll always [...]

My parents, brother, and I went to a Musica Viva concert, not quite like old times. You see, unlike when we attended Musica Viva [...]

This is a story about lies. Lies and frozen yoghurt. This is a story about lies, frozen yoghurt, and how, sometimes, lies and frozen yoghurt can taste very, very sweet indeed. This is also a story about my final morning in Melbourne last month. You remember my Melbourne trip, right? It was the trip where [...]

It’s probably about time for a chocolate review. However, I’m exhausted. In addition, I’ve written a great many long-and-text-heavy posts of late, so I thought I’d give you all some respite from my convoluted mind-patterns by providing something short and snappy (and, admittedly, rather discombobulated) for you to peruse. I call this post “Things I [...]

Photo courtesy of I-Hua And so, at last, we come to the last instalment of my Melbourne Reverse Dinner with I-Hua and her fiancé (CONGRATULATIONS!!).

Imagine this. Imagine you’ve had a night of Starbucks, beer, laughter, and Lord of the Fries, and imagine you went to bed at 1am.
