Sounds gross doesn’t it? Son and Heir was very excited to hear toe food was on the menu. Perhaps I should clean his ears because if toe food sounds good, imagine how exciting tofu would be! I found this recipe floating around in a folder of cut out recipes. Judging by the lack of notations […]
For the last couple of weeks, the pool heater at work has been broken. Fortunately it was fixed today but the air temperature was cold. So after two and a half hours in the water, I was very glad to be finished work and in a hot shower today. Swim teaching in terms two and […]
Sounds fancy doesn’t it? I picked up some quail eggs at the market, mostly because Son and Heir was fascinated by them. I’ve never cooked them for the kids before. Once up on a time in a world before kids I used to do crazy things like de-bone quail, I can’t imagine ever being motivated […]
Lately, on a fortnightly basis, I throw meal planning to the wind with reckless abandon and simply buy up enough seasonal fruit and vegetables to get me through the week. Then, on a daily basis I think of a way of combining the fresh fruit and vegetables with something from the freezer or pantry to […]
I have a confession to make. I have been guilty of gluttony. Oh so guilty. Six extra kilos of padding guilty. Gluttony for me is not eating bad food. It’s eating too much. It’s an extra mouthful every time I prepare food for the kids. It’s eatng the kids scraps so they don’t got to […]
I think I’ve made it perfectly clear that I have a definite thing for Vietnamese food. Malaysian food comes not far behind in my list of favourite cuisines. My favourite of all Malaysian food is Roti Chanai. Which made me very happy to find a great roti recipe on Food Safari. Naturally I used the […]
Melbourne weather has been downright weird lately. 40 degrees one day and 15 the next. Today was a gorgeous 24. Perfect for a nice hearty warm salad. I didn’t get around to shopping properly for fruit and veg this week for some reason so supplies were a little limited but a great big sweet potato […]
It’s still very hot in Melbourne. Really hot. It’s unusual to get a heatwave this long lasting here. I’ll miss it when it’s done. Perfect salad weather. Which is lucky because as usual on a Monday, I’m quite rushed between kinder, work, food shopping, laundry and so on. I found some falafel mix in the […]
The last couple of days have been hot, hot, hot in Melbourne. Which I love but no one else seems too jiggy with it. Having this sudden heat wave in March is, for me, a delicious reprieve from the cooler weather that surely approaches. I don’t do cold. Yesterday was 42 degrees I believe, so […]
The Bread Winner gets back late tonight. I know he doesn’t like fruit in salads. Tough. Tonight he’s getting it. Next time maybe he won’t confuse his flight times and have me believe he’ll be home early. So there. Garlic prawn and wombok salad 1 baby wombok, shredded 1 carrot, grated 1 red capsicum, julienned […]
