Sometimes a girl just needs to watch six episodes of a TV show in one sitting. There’s nothing better than bludging on the couch, forging past the show-ending cliff hangers and indulging in a glut of “what happens next” without having to […]
If I can do it, so can you… For most of my life, running any farther than from here to the ice cream truck has reduced me to a panting mess. I used to kill it at sprints in school but cross country […]
I just can’t resist ordering a dessert when I’m out for dinner. Luckily I don’t eat out that often, but when I do, I go to town. Well, I go to South Bank. I live nearby and my day job office is right […]
Do you remember my new wine-making bestie, Paola? I frothed over her chardonnay so much that I tracked it down to a wine bar in West End called Pour Choices. I would have gone purely for the wine, but next time I’ll return for […]
I’m sure that my mother, Lesley, once dreamed of being a hero as all children do, but I don’t think she imagined the story would start with her being widowed at the age of 27. I was four days shy of my first birthday […]
I adore buildings with history, especially when they have been refitted in that trendy, exposed- brick kind of way that makes you feel edgy and cultural whenever you swan in for a drink. These days 690 Ann Street is home to a chic […]
You may have read about my healthy chicken schnitty or healthyish chocolate mug cake and noticed a trend; – I am very in to almond meal. I used to read a recipe and see ‘almond meal’, roll my eyes and flip to the […]
Junk is the new kid on the block in South Bank, although there’s been a Maroochydore version since 2014. It’s got a very funky Asian-café-meets-hipster-hangout vibe that lured me in from Little Stanley Street when I was seeking a lunch spot. The […]
To feed your period monster… Apologies if I am super out of touch and mug cakes are soooo-two- years-ago – I’ve just discovered that they’re a legit food item and I need to rave about it. My latest dieting attempt is to cut […]
My mum doesn’t like cauliflower so I never had much to do with it as a kid. As a grown up I always regarded it quite suspiciously – what is this albino broccoli wannabe, and why would I ever cook with it? Next minute, […]
Grocery shopping online has changed my life. It’s a dramatic statement, but this simple adjustment has made the biggest difference in my day-to-day existence. I actually love grocery shopping – the pretty displays inspire me to buy ingredients for gourmet masterpieces and […]
Remember the days when you used to be able to go out three nights a week and still function like a normal human being? Those days are long gone for me, and now I look forward to parties and drinking events with mixed feelings. […]
I wish I was one of those people whose favourite food is kale, but no matter how much I learn about nutrition I struggle to pass up on a piece of deep-fried chicken. Pasta is another favourite, especially when it’s smothered in […]
Both summer and December are officially here, and as well as enjoying yourself at the sudden deluge of Christmas parties, lunches, brunches and ‘drinks’, you also need to buy Christmas presents. Shopping for family and friends is a project on its own, even though […]
I dabble in the realm of cooking, but I’m still scared off by lengthy ingredient lists and complicated terminology. That doesn’t stop me from loving the drama of MasterChef, and when the opportunity to meet Adam Liaw popped up I knew it […]
Five Steps to Ensure the Perfect High Tea There’s something enchanting about the sound of a high tea room. It’s in the tinkling of teacups, the chime of silverware on butter dishes and the sweet tones of ladies chatting without the interruption of […]
In a recent post I spoke about baking a housewarming present for a party hostess I didn’t know very well. We were merely acquaintances, but when I discovered the catering chosen for the party I knew that this was a woman I […]
I was recently asked to choose a restaurant for a dinner catch up with friends who were stopping by BrisVegas on their honeymoon tour. I asked what their budget was, and when they said they just wanted a good meal, I gleefully […]
Now that I’m in my thirties, I qualify for invitations to legitimate adult parties. Instead of pre-drinking, I now attend housewarming parties. Rather than Sunday sessions, I am invited to baby gender revealing celebrations. My Saturday afternoons are often taken up with […]
