Well, Dear Readers, do I have a fantastic recipe for you! This will be…… Continue reading La Spiced Pumpkin Cake – a leftover, turned magical treat
Welcome to my kitchen for the month of March. I’ve been quite good this month and haven’t spent too much of my time buying things for my kitchen, more so being gifted fresh produce and baking like a champion. It seems like February/March is a time for figs and carrots. I know carrots aren’t in…… Continue reading In My Kitchen – March 2015
Welcome to my Kitchen for the month of February. The holidays are over, Tweenie started high school, Buddy started pre-school, we returned to dreary old work, and the world goes on. Easter is the next big event on our social calendar, and I’m trying to get out and experience new places to eat with friends…… Continue reading In My Kitchen – February 2015
A Night at the Theater I’ve been given the wonderful opportunity to see a local Canberra musical based on a cult movie that I’ve watched several times. It’s one of those classic movies where you feel a connection with the characters, and even though they’re all terribly flawed, you envy their position in life and…… Continue reading High Fidelity, Phoenix Players – A Review

Yes please – A trip to EPIC Farmers Market

Want to see what Back to the Future got right for our year of 2015? Expect Marty McFly in October, apparently. How quick did 2014 go? Was it a…… Continue reading In My Kitchen – January 2015
Welcome to my Kitchen for the month of December. The very last one for 2014, and what a year it’s been. My first year blogging. Warning: You may overdose on Christmas Spirit if you choose to read any further. Seriously. It’s like The North Pole spewed Christmas throughout my house after a big night on…… Continue reading In My Kitchen – December 2014
My friend Judy is a guru in the garden. I thought I had a super summer garden last year, but frankly, I’m a novice. A complete garden virgin. I planted my first productive garden in Nov 2013, and our haul of tomatoes, basil, peppers and chilli’s was pretty impressive for a first timer. Our winter…… Continue reading A friend, a bag of rhubarb and a box of blood oranges
