You know how sometimes, after you’ve been with someone for a while, you kind of stop expecting any surprises. And I don’t mean like oh hey here’s a no-reason gift kind of surprise ~ those are definitely still welcome, although maybe you do stop expecting those eventually too. What I mean is, you think you know … Read More →
Hey happy people. So it’s no secret that I am madly in love with Lantana Cafe. I mean, if I had a perfect 24 hours of eating, my day would start at Lantana, and Lord knows if they were open late into the evening, it would most likely end there. And then there are those baked … Read More →

Last Saturday night was primed to be one of the highlights my culinary life. That is, aside from the inimitable Fat Duck, but that experience reigns supreme and blitzes any competition out of the stratosphere. Last Saturday night, we went to Nobu. And not Nobu Park Lane, which I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying, but … Read More →
Last Sunday was one of those days when I think to myself… honestly catty, why the fruck am I living in London? I mean, the day started pretty well ~ I had a sleep in (which is undoubtedly the best way to start any day) and woke up at the ripe ol’ time of 1pm. I stretched lazily… well, as much … Read More →
I’d like to think that I’m an utterly loyal person. I really would. If I love you, I love you and as all of my close friends know, I’d go to the end of the earth for you. Be it that I might bitch and moan the whole way there, I’d still go there, and … Read More →
I think New Years for some brings a sense of joy and relief, a feeling that another year has passed successfully, or perhaps just by its whisker, but either way, another year has passed. Me? I laid awake with raging insomnia on Monday night, playing and replaying my 2009 over and over and over again … Read More →
So. Y’all know that I don’t often post very negative reviews on my blog, oh except for the profoundly bad service here, but hey, they’ve closed down anyway so ahem, karma. It’s not that I’m not being objective, I just normally don’t post negative things because quite plain and simply, it isn’t as much fun. I … Read More →
Those of you who follow me on twitter knew eons in advance that Panu’s mum was coming to visit. Why? Because I tweeted relentlessly about the packets of timtams she was bringing with her and how I just could. not. wait. to get my dirty little paws on them. Well bring she did. But wrapped … Read More →
There’s something to be said about Scandi food. And no, I’m not going to wax lyrical about the actual food because Lord knows I’m not the brightest foodie in the house, but seriously, those Scandinavians, are they tall and hot or what? I mean, look at them. And then look at me. Oh you don’t … Read More →
There are three things in life that I can’t say no to. ice cream burgers my boyfriend sleeping in Offer any of those to me, in any order, or better yet – all together – and I am in a slice of catty heaven. Well, Grand Union Bar & Grill proposed to take me to catty … Read More →
I didn’t just want to be a chocolate brownie. I didn’t want to be plain. I didn’t want to be ordinary. I wanted to be Optimus Prime. The biggest, baddest goodest, most awesomeness Transformer ever.

Christmas ~ a time for celebrating the birth of Christ, a time to gather with family, a time to share the wonders of a white Christmas or for those in the Southern Hemisphere, the wonders of shrimp on a barbie. But for me, too far from home and having no such religious inclination (I’m busy … Read More →
I have a confession to make. I eat condensed milk. Like, I mean I eat it straight out of the tin. By the tablespoon full and it is the most undulatingly sinful indulgence I have ever experienced. But a few years ago, it dawned on me that eating condensed milk tablespoons at a time… in fact … Read More →
I’ve never professed to know anything about what makes food “good”. I mean, sweet chilli sauce is one of my favourite condiments for gods sake and I know that saying blogging that out loud has already condemned me to the bland and empty depths of foodie hell, to spend eternity in a damp pit of … Read More →
