the end was just the beginning
You know how jail is like a holiday in Surfer's Paradise, with luxury balconies and palm trees and summer breezes and cordial with ice in it? Well, get ready to be outraged, because it's even more five-star at Christmas. I'm surprised anyone ever wants to leave. I mean, you wake on Christmas Day on your... Continue Reading →
I've been experimenting with the 20 calorie noodles again. Aside from waking ravenous at 4am, I'm a total convert. If I could just stop eating potato wedges at parties, they might even lead to weight loss. Recipe: Sambal prawn noodles 1 tablespoon peanut or rice bran oil 400g green garlic prawns (got mine in a...

Santa photos are a bit of a tradition in my family. My mum made sure every Christmas was documented on an old bloke's lap. Actually, now that I look through the photo albums, she appears to have lost interest around 1976, which would have been when I was eight. Come to think of it, that's... Continue Reading →
Matt Damon revealed that in the new Liberace biopic, Behind the Candelabra "I had to come out of the pool, go over to Michael Douglas, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him. It's not like I kiss him just once. We drew it up like a football plan." Lindsay Lohan's probation was revoked, she faced... Continue Reading →
Husband won't let me sell the house so I had to find something else dramatic to do. It's become a bit of a pattern. My crazy way of dealing with high-stress situations. So I went to the hairdresser and told him to cut my hair off. I emphasized that the change needed to be dramatic... Continue Reading →
When the weather warms, my desire to live beside the sea intensifies. So I typed in "Avalon" and "less than $1.2million" into Domain last night and some gorgeous stuff came up. Yes, yes, I know ... it's too far away. I'd only have to hop in the car and head halfway to an open house to... Continue Reading →
Fortunately most of my Christmas shopping was done before I got sacked. Unfortunately I put it all on our credit card in anticipation of fortnightly pay checks ... The only gift that hasn't been bought is one for me from Husband. I told him it really wasn't necessary because I wasn't making any effort with him... Continue Reading →
It was Sprog 2's class party today and I had the best intentions. I'd already made little piggy cupcakes for Sprog 1's party, so a precedent had been set. I've been experimenting with chook cupcakes - the pic is a bit rough, but I think they show potential. But then I went out last night for... Continue Reading →
In the light of the moon, a little hare sat alone in a pet shop. One Thursday afternoon two little girls visited the pet shop and - pop - out came the tiny and very hungry hare into their arms. He started to look for some food. On Monday he nibbled their daddy's belt. But... Continue Reading →
This recipe is dead easy and soooooo delicious. Just toss all the meatball ingredients together, roll them into balls, chuck 'em in a baking dish and pour two jars of passata over. Guaranteed kid heaven. For my gluten-free readers, try crumbing gluten-free bread, or I reckon they'd go fine skipping the bread all together. Let... Continue Reading →
