Cocktail Time…

The heat is on.  Sydney is living up to its usual summer antics by bathing its residents in a blanket of maddening and stinking humidity.  I wake up.  I sweat.  I walk.  I sweat.  And so it goes on.  It doesn’t matter that I have air conditioning.  The moment I step out of my humble fortress, beads of perspiration start to form.  LOL!  It’s in this kind of weather I [...]

Christmas day lunch?  A flashback to the 70′s?  A modern day revamp of “surf and turf“?  All of the above.  I haven’t had this combination of meat and seafood in years.  I predict it

It’s salad time!  The weather is high in humidity and you’ll probably hear the usual “it’s hot” posts by me.  It’s also the time of year that I get to indulge in my favourite salads.  I know you can whip up anything and call it a salad these days but I’m heading back to my roots.  Crisp, iceberg lettuce, cooling cucumber and juicy tomatoes.  Onions used to make an

After last week’s monochromatic feel of green eggs, I thought it would be fun to continue the theme with a few more images I shot this week.  I’m enjoying exploring different concepts

I apologise for not getting any recipes out this week…travel plans have kept me busy.  In the mean time I hope you enjoy this image of green eggs (sorry no ham!).  I picked up an old “new” lens a few weeks ago and put it through its paces.  As usual I’m impressed with these old Nikon

It’s that time of the year again!  Summer time.  Today was the first day I actually felt the heat and could say “Boy…it’s hot!”.  And for this Photo Friday I would like to celebrate the warmer weather with some cute, miniature ice cream cones.  I’m also very excited because I recently got hold of an ice cream

The discussion of lunch seems to come up regularly with quite a few of my friends. “Oh! I just grab a sandwich, from the local cafe…” exclaims one. I understand that if you’re working in an office environment, you may not have the time to prepare elaborate lunches and that quick

These past few weeks have been hectic-but in a good way!  I find that it’s important to take a break sometimes-sit down, enjoy a “cuppa” and gather my thoughts!  Then head off and do it all again!  Enjoy the weekend everyone…see you next week with some travel stories.

They happen all the time.  I’m setting up a shot and I accidentally press the button!  I made this deep dish apple pie for the weekend (something I’ve wanted to make for a long time-recipe soon to follow).  Just wanted to share it all as I found it quite amusing!  Smile.  Laugh.  Life is good.  Hope you enjoy the weekend.

I was meant to get out a recipe this week but travel commitments along with picking up  my new computer (and some very expensive “toys”…ahem!)  have held me back.  I really need to focus more on my time management!  Also, by the time this post reaches Australia it will be
