the end was just the beginning
The Household went to Lane Cove farmers' market this morning and fell in love with the Syrian stall. We scoffed down falafel rolls on the spot then stocked up on kibbeh, baba ganouj, hummus and pita bread to take home for our dinner. I also grabbed half a dozen baklava to take to a friend's...

The desire to move house grows painful. The urge to search domain.com.au verges on pathological. There is no logic to it. No sense. No reason. A bit like some of the house ads I've come across in my electronic travels ... Like this funny little place in the suburb of my childhood ... The agent... Continue Reading →
* Justin Bieber told his Twitter followers he was '*Lingse*' - which some claimed was an anagram for the word 'single'. He deleted it soon after. Then deleted girlfriend Selena Gomez soon after that. * Anne Hathaway took the mickey out of Katie Holmes on Saturday Night Live (and will now be praying she never runs... Continue Reading →
Warning: E.T is a very distressing movie. In the playground yesterday, a school mum asked me what I was doing with the kids after school and I said: "Eating popcorn and watching E.T." She smiled and said: "How lovely, I wish we were doing something like that." It wasn't lovely, it was devastating. It's not... Continue Reading →
I tried to be good yesterday. I really did. I took a boring old chicken salad to work for my lunch. But I get SO HUNGRY by mid-afternoon. So I stuffed a yoghurt/fruit/nut bar into myself from the junk food machine in the work kitchen. Then felt ill for the next few hours (not sure... Continue Reading →

Every night, I type frantically while Husband reads Deltora Quest to the Sprogs, then I rise at 5.30am to continue tippety-tapping. As for coming up with ideas for blogs ... no bloody time for that. So I've decided to tell... Continue Reading →
I invariably over-cater whenever we host a barbecue, there are always so many snags leftover. So I've been devising creative ways to repurpose them for the next night's dinner. This recipe is the result of one of my experiments (also inspired by a jar of Sacla pasta sauce I got in a magazine goodie bag).... Continue Reading →
Someone's getting a lot of action in the Household at the moment. And it's not me. Mr Frodo Bunnykins is IN DEMAND. It's hardly surprising - he's pretty damn cute. The shagging festival began while he was being bunnysitted the other weekend. I got a text message from the school mum who'd volunteered to look... Continue Reading →
I thought it was about time I started blogging a few more low-carb dinners ... and eating them too! Here's what we ate in the Household last night. Lovely, fresh, light, clean flavours. Yum. Recipe: Grilled salmon with roasted capsicum salad 3 red capsicums 2 tablespoons chilli-infused olive oil 1 red onion, peeled, halved and... Continue Reading →
My talented 12-year-old niece Phoebe is a champion knitter. After her sister's birthday party last weekend, she showed us the aliens she's been clicketty-clacking for a local craft fair. She's hoping to sell the aliens as wacky Christmas decorations at The Olive Tree market in Newcastle on December 1. I'll send a bloggy reminder if... Continue Reading →
