Today is a day of absolutely no originality at Chez KP. It has however, been a day of delicious food. Sunday is my sleep in day which leaves the Bread Winner on morning duty. So the less said about breakfast the better. Or in my case, I could simply say ‘what breakfast?’. By lunchtime, things […]
It seems I am still somewhat discombobulated. It didn’t occur to me until I received a late agenda that I had a kinder committee meeting last night. Pretty silly of me considering it was clearly written on the calendar. Furthermore, I had no idea at all that it was my turn to bring food. A […]
Here we all are back at Chez KP safe and sound. The Bread Winner and I had a lovely weekend of togetherness in Sydney and the Ankle Biters had a terrific time being spoilt by their grandparents. I’m pleased to report that Son and Heir missed me. It’s nice to feel loved. Lil Miss, on […]
Market day makes me want to stuff as much of that freshly picked vegetable goodness into my gob as humanly possible in one day. As each day of the week passes by, they are that little bit less fresh, that little bit less nutritious. Always good until the end though. This morning, I got caught […]
Out there in the ether is a cook book. It’s name escapes me. It’s a vegetarian cook book. It’s appallingly laid out. So much so that it is nearly impossible to browse. Not a photo or illustration to be seen and set out in columns. It does contain some gold if you have the stamina […]

I was raised on spanakopita or a variation thereof from a week kiddie. Something that strikes me as a little strange when I think about it, given the lack of multiculturalism in suburban Melbourne in the early 70’s. There was a goodly sized Greek community in Melbourne even then but we didn’t have any personal […]
Lately, Son and Heir greatly objects to staying home all day. He has this driving need for some form of outing every day. It’s a pain in the backside when I don’t want to go anywhere. Like today. All I wanted to do was clean the house and tend to some outdoor tasks that I […]
Here is a random nasturtiun from my back yard. Not relevant to anything else I have to say today. Just pretty. Now that I’ve got that out of my system, I’ll move on to my next random topic. The Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge. It’s open to Australian children as individuals or as schools. The idea […]
Today was 30 degrees. That’s 86 if you speak Farenheit. It’s going to be a long hot summer. Which prompted me to make a summery meal. Well that and the fact that I had nothing planned, some scraps that needed using, lunches to make, no bread and not a lot of time on my hands. […]
