• The changing of the seasons

  Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

  It’s still bitterly cold here in Melbourne, and the wind continues to blow something fierce…but I can smell something in the air.
  Anticipation.
  There are flower buds on the plants all over my backyard, and I can almost feel their excitement as they prepare to burst forth into a beautiful array of colour, bringing back their vibrancy [...]

• Look at my battle-scars

  Sunday, July 29th, 2007

  1 (one) sliced middle finger
  1 (one) burnt hand
  2 (two) cracked nails
  2 (two) slightly grated knuckles
  Actually, considering how many hours I spent in the kitchen this weekend past, I’m kinda surprised I didn’t sustain any more injury than I did!
  Got back from the family office on Friday to be greeted by a frantic mother who’s just [...]

• Banksy

  Interesting article written in the New Yorker about Banksy.

• Creative insults

  Thursday, July 26th, 2007

  In case you hadn’t noticed, I have the mouth of a sailor. I put it down to my yr 8 Ancient History teacher, Mr. Biersteker, a devout Christian man with a warped sense of humour (this was back when I was a student at Seoul International School, and he was my first encounter with a [...]

• Squeals from a fan-girl

  Thursday, July 19th, 2007

  So, I’m the first to admit that I’m a dork. I’m not the kinda gal that oozes sophistication and charm, I love cheesy 80s movies, David Bowie and nonsense movies.
  And, I’m a BIG fan of fantasy, particularly the Harry Potter series. Mind you, I haven’t been happy with the quality of all the books, but [...]

• Oh HELL NO, MOTHERF*CKER!

  Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

  At home today, I have the telly on and Huey’s Cooking Adventures has come on (to be honest, I really don’t think much of him, but his idiocy cracks me up).
  The F*CKWIT just talked about kimchi….HELLO? If you are gonna talk about a country’s national dish, get your facts straight, f*cker! Don’t you be making [...]

  I am beyond pissed off right now.
  Why? Because I am trying SO HARD to bite my tongue. I disabled the ability to select text and right click on my food blog some time ago after finding incidents of people copying the photos and uploading them onto other sites, and a few instances of ENTIRE POSTS [...]

  Monday, July 9th, 2007

  Things I love:

  Waking up to a cold, doggy nose and a fluffy, waggy tail
  My kitchen
  The fact that the rain has completely brought my garden back to life
  Lots of green grass.
  Enjoying a mug of hot choc while listening to the rain pour down
  Sitting by the fireplace in the lounge and gasbagging with my ma
  Fresh, clean sheets [...]

• A terrifying thought

  Saturday, July 7th, 2007

  In the past 14 hours, I have managed to work my way through almost 1kg of unsalted butter, almost 24 eggs, and about 2kg of flour.
  I now also have a kitchen bench covered in baked goods. HELP.
  I think I need an intervention.

• Idiots! I am surrounded by idiots!

  Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

  Well, not literally. But there does seem to be an excess of morons out there. I’ve become quite crap at updating my food blog (I really need to try some new recipes soon! Maybe this weekend…) but for some reason, there has been a veritable barrage of comments and emails from people trying to self-promote [...]
