Is January really almost gone? I really thought that things would slow down after the Christmas holidays but oh how wrong I was! With the new job, days have gone by in a blur. Most of the time I’m meeting new people, learning new systems, products and before I know it, it’s past seven or [...]

I’ll be honest, it was a bit of a struggle to come up with a “dish that I would most like to have for my birthday” for this month’s Kulinarya Cooking Club challenge. I have been so busy with the new job and getting everything ready for the sale of our old house, I hardly [...]

I was introduced to Scotch Eggs by Rie, a dear family friend. I met her through my older sister who was in the same mother’s group and over the years we’ve come to think of her as a sister too. She took the scotch eggs to a dinner hosted by my sister one night [...]

This, my friends, is going to be a very short post. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed the lack of any online presence lately… and there’s certainly a reason for my silence. First, my parents are around for another few weeks – and family always takes priority so I am trying to squeeze in as [...]
A Very Aussie Christmas & A Very Simple Berry Pie

Coming from the Philippines where adorning homes with Christmas decorations has become a national pastime that begins in September, my first impression was that Australians weren’t very keen on Christmas. I couldn’t get used to Santa in a body suit, trading turtlenecks for singlets, or a “white Christmas” referring to spending time in Bondi beach. [...]

Because the holiday season is already so stressful, there are some things that you should never do in December. Getting married is one of them. This of course is from first hand experience when eight years ago, three days after Christmas, I said “I do.” When I got engaged my then fiancé said “pick a [...]

If 2010 was all about local and sustainable food, I’m hearing that 2011 will be all about the Pie. At least this is the prediction from Andrew Freeman & Co, a US based firm that consults on marketing to hotels and restaurants around the US. In their 2011 Trend List, pies were listed as the [...]

They say, necessity is the mother of invention. These last few weeks, I would say that moving is the mother of improvisation. As we countdown to moving homes, I find myself limited as to what I can cook because I’ve either packed something away or I’m trying to use up miscellaneous ingredients that have been [...]

Today at work we chatted about our favourite pastimes as children. I mentioned that , to pass the time during summers, my siblings and cousins would meet at my grandmother’s place every day. We would swim, watch (music) videos, eat, sleep, fight, swim some more, eat some more and definitely fight some more. Almost like [...]
