The perfect Friday evening.
It’s Friday evening!!!! I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad the working week is over. The best thing is, the stars seem to be aligned where I am for a Very Cruisy Evening. Got home in one piece, traffic was fine, we’ve ordered takeaway and….. I have time to browse some magazines …

All the world’s a burger – presenting the McItaly burger.
Image courtesy of http://news.bbc.co.uk/ I think the burger was created to support the agricultural industry of Italy, the Minister in charge has endorsed the McItaly. Times online story about Maccas and the world. Sad to say, when I was a little girl (with a better metabolism and tolerance to synthetic food than I do now)…

A virtual gift for everyone whose taken the chance and clicked onto my blog.
I’m still trying to figure out where my blog is in the scheme of things and I think I am neither food nor fashion but somewhere in between. I’m pretty chuffed to have around 500 hits (the counter is at 600 + but I reckon 100 are probably mine from inexperience at blogging). I’d like…

When An Aspiring Domestic Goddess Gets Home Late After A Very Long Day At Work – A Photo Essay.
You know the feeling. It’s been the day from hell at work, the traffic home is feral (why is it always the M4 entry point), you’ve still got to get the groceries, it’s also the night you have to wash your hair and really wash your face (because you wore a full face of make…

A moment of cluckiness shared, the launch of baby GAP premium denim.
The scene: a weekday evening. A couple are getting over a long day by doing the things couples do at home – surfing the net whilst watching the cricket and a DVD – The Hangover (best roadtrip movie ever). SSG: (browsing the internet and squealing) This is so cute… Gap has baby denim. Aren’t they…

Frugal February
We’re 10 days into February? Where has the time gone? There’s Ocsobre, Dry July, Feb Fast and now I present Frugal February. The goal is to cut unecessary spending and find interests that don’t involve going to the shops or browsing online, ie SHOPPING. It’s amazing how most outings involve shopping. Planned or impulse purchases,…

Super Bowl snacks.
Curry puffs my in laws made for us when they visited. Flown all the way from Perth. Note the pastry. It’s flaky and made in 2 parts – a water based and an oil/butter based mixture which are then kneaded together. Whenever I make curry puffs I cheat and use Pampas puff pastry and it’s…

My all time guiltiest junk food memory and paying homage to the spirit of Norm.
Image courtesy of lifebeinit.otg It’s been one very long day. I am celebrating surviving it by channelling Norm of the ‘Life. Be in it.’ campaign. For my non local readers, this was a campaign that started in the 70s (the year of my birth, to be exact) to encourage Australians to get fit and…

Slow cooker Sunday, raindrops on leaves – is it really summer in Sydney?
What a wet and miserable weekend in Sydney. I took advantage of one of the fine breaks of the day to go for a run, felt great to be out in the fresh air. I love that scent when it’s just rained. The creek where I run is usually barely a trickle of…

Snapshots of life.
There were so many colours, costumes and people to look at yesterday. Young girls in costume, enjoying the balloons and the sights. A gentleman setting up a stall on the road, I love the contrast of Asian tradition against the backdrop of an Australian town centre street. People lining up for food. Oh…
