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 [...]

I often have something playing in the background as I cook and photograph my creations. I was stumped initially about what I was going to do.
