Husband fixes all his technology problems with Google search. He was typing in "I want to see my Genius ..." something or other ... whatever that means ... I don't understand iTunes ... when he noticed a funny thing. The moment he got to "I want to see ..." the most popular search terms starting... Continue Reading →
Naked Aussies and spicy sausages
I like this curry because it doesn't include cream or coconut milk, so it makes me feel virtuous (let's just ignore the fat content of the roti bread and sausages). The Sprogs like it too, as long as I keep that roti bread coming ... Recipe: Malaysian-style curried sausages 1 tablespoon peanut or rice bran... Continue Reading →
My Christmas Wish List
Naturally, peace on earth and goodwill to all men tops my list of Christmas wishes but, while that's being sorted, there's some other stuff I'd quite fancy too. People reckon I'm hard to buy for. I can't understand why. There are soooooo many things I'd like. My Christmas lust list was ignited when I saw... Continue Reading →
Who were you at your school formal?
It's school formal season in Sydney and it's sent me on a nostalgia trip about mine. But I'm struggling to remember who I was back then, let alone what I did. I know I was determined to be different. I wanted to make a statement with my outfit. I wanted to look HOT. I didn't... Continue Reading →
Potato, feta and mint pasties (and freaky coincidences)
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...

HouseHunting: Too much information
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 →
HouseGoesHollywood: what did you blink and miss? (week 46)
* 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 →
Deeply traumatised
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 →
Low-carb dinners: Lamb cutlets with roasted veggie stacks and pesto mayo
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 →
Plastered on a tram
My god it's exhausting holding down a paying job and blogging three times a day. 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 →
