Happy belated Valentine’s Day everyone! Hope you spent it with all your loves, the big ones, the little ones and the furry ones. Me? Panu had the day off work (for an unrelated reason) but we had lunch together – burgers, milkshakes and a sleeping baby in the pram. Couldn’t ask for more than that! Read More →

Last Saturday night we attended the wedding of our friends, Lilla and Matt, at Doltone House in Sylvania. It was a big Italian wedding and there was so much food I literally did not even touch my main (an overcooked steak.. meh) but I did have room for one last cannoli. Anyway, we had a Read More →

Last weekend, our little crew of eight adults and three kids went road trippin’ overnight up to the Hunter Valley. Why only one night? Because we hadn’t been away with the kids before and now that we know what champs they all can be (no tantrums, no crying, heavenly!) we’re planning a longer trip away! Read More →

I know this is a food blog and not a baby blog but seriously, have you ever seen anyone eat with so much passion? I, for one, have not. Anyway, I’m flying home to Sydney tonight and bright and early Friday morning, we’re off to Townsville to see my brother, sis-in-law and most importantly, to Read More →

Another year has come and gone in the blink of an eye and here I find myself sitting on a beach. Not a bad way to end the year, really, and certainly not the way we’ve spent the last four new years. What a year 2011 has been, and I hope that your year has been Read More →

On Saturday, my friends Brendon and Christine hosted a most fabulous BBQ down in the ghetto. Well, the term “ghetto” is used relatively here. Basically, they pretty much live across the street from the Ministry of Sound nightclub and back in my hey day (because yes I am old), that minuscule proximity to MOS would have totally Read More →

Today is my last day in Brisbane! And so it seems appropriate that I share with you one of my favourite places in this entire city: Cold Rock Ice Creamery. They have macadamia nut ice cream. They have cookie dough. They smash it together. LOVE. How does it work exactly? Well, it’s not too complicated. Following Cold Read More →

Sometimes we have to be grateful for the big things in life. Like winning a holiday. Sometimes we have to be grateful for the small things in life. Like being able to see, smell, touch, talk… just being. Sometimes, we have to be grateful for the things we often aren’t grateful for. Like our parents. Read More →

It’s Monday and I am officially back in London. “Officially” because “unofficially” I arrived about this time yesterday but was so exhausted and having been away two months (but mainly because my brain was mush from exhaustion), everything felt surreal and I didn’t feel as though I was really back. But today is Monday, a Read More →

There’s always that one dish that you request when you go home to see your parents. One favourite dish that you crave but can’t seem to recreate. For me it’s my mum’s fish curry with okra (and sometimes eggplant, but unfortunately not this time). This was tonight’s dinner! I LOVE IT. ps. I just noticed Read More →

I very so unkindly brought the London weather to LA last week (sorry y’all) but there was one day when the rain let up and Panu and I headed straight for Venice Beach. Anyway, seeing as I super miss Panu right now (I’m in Sydney, he’s in London) I thought I’d post up my little Read More →

This is my hometown. I grew up in Brisbane, went to school there, my parents still live there, and now the whole city is flooded Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you will have seen the disaster zone in SE Queensland – mainly Toowoomba and Brisbane – where heavy rainfall has resulted in flash Read More →

I’ve talked about my co-worker friend Sam a couple of times in the last few posts. She took me for the first and best Philly cheese steak hoagie, and then to the first and best pizza in New York. Well, Sam has truly blasted herself into the realm of best foodie friend EVER because this Read More →

Today is our four year anniversary. For you long-timers out there I know this is like nothing, but for me, it’s a dead set record. We’ve had some amazing times over the past four years and I was trawling through old photos trying to find one good one to share. It’s kind of difficult when Read More →
