All it takes is one Ankle Biter to cause a ruckus at 3.30am and the whole family suffers. By this afternoon, I was completely wilted and the AB’s could have whinged for Australia. Major distraction necessary. The pasta machine always works. They love turning the handle on that thing. A few stirs at various other […]
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 […]

Me and the tofu. Totally stuffed. My craving for stuffed tofu and yet more green vegetables has led to a very messy kitchen today. Which is kind of depressing as I just knew it wasn’t going to taste as good as I wanted it to. I think I left my cooking mojo in the bottom […]

Did someone say minestrone? Actually Son and Heir has been begging me to make “pasta soup” for a couple of weeks now. This week is the week. I have no intention of us eating it until the end of the week but I like to make it when the vegetables are market fresh. Not only […]
It really helps the budget when you get free food sent to you. Tonight’s meal featured a 150g packet of hazelnut meal that I was sent (along with a couple of others) as a ‘gesture of good will’ as I had emailed the company who sells it to report that a packet I had bought […]
Kris of Cheap Healthy Good suggests that Cheesy Eggplant Bake is not a name that does the dish justice. I disagree. It’s a name that screams scrumptious, filling comfort food to me. I don’t need fancy names to be excited by a recipe. A promise of cheesy goodness will never fail. My variations to the […]
The Bread Winner only got a passing bite of tortilla last night as he went out to the Comedy Festival with some friends. He did pause briefly to comment on it’s deliciousness. Knowing that Mexican food is to him as Vietnamese food is to me, I thought it only fair to have some form of […]
