This dish is an old family favourite that I grew up with. To me, it’s one of the ultimate comfort foods! It’s delicious on its own but is best served with freshly toasted and buttered wholegrain toast triangles. This recipe will serve either one main helping or two small ones if you want to have… Read more »

Good Reads 29/1
After my last post and experiencing lots of thoughts and feelings on what I want to do with my life, the following reads have been helpful for gaining a bit of much-needed perspective. This article by author Justine Musk on developing a creative practice is fantastic. I like her explanation of how repeated actions become… Read more »
Breakfast 20/01
One thing I know for sure is that if I don’t eat breakfast I will either a) be a raging bitch all morning, or b) vomit. Another thing I know for sure is that eating the same breakfast all the time is boring. I know people (ahem, grandma) who eat the same cereal every day… Read more »
A bunch of sorta random updates
This was me and one of the cats I am looking after while I house-sit. Sandy and I were trying our best to warm each other an hour ago and basically failing miserably, unfortunately. Today has been very chilly in New Zealand, all over. While Auckland (my city) does receive its fair share of cold,… Read more »
Happy 2011: The year, so far!
I’m so glad the new year is here! I really love the idea of starting fresh, especially after the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. My New Year’s Eve was very low-key. Josh was away staying with family so we spent it apart, but fortunately it’s not a particularly big deal of a night… Read more »
Halloween food!
Halloween in New Zealand is really not a big thing but I have always loved it. When I was little I would plan these elaborate costumes and haunted house displays, then by the time Halloween actually rolled around, something always happened so I couldn’t dress up and celebrate! One year I was sick, another I… Read more »
Rainbow Kiwi Biscuits
Kiwi Biscuits are a New Zealand favourite (certainly among my family anyway!). Typically they’re made with chocolate chips but last weekend I was making them with my nephew and substituted Pebbles for the choc chips since we didn’t have any. Rainbow biscuits! And very popular with all who tried them. Today I felt like baking… Read more »
Auckland Zoo and Mug Cake
Today I hung out at the zoo with my eldest sister, her kids, and friends of theirs. I always love going to the zoo, and because we arrived fairly early we were there around feeding time, meaning we got to see many of the more elusive animals. Unfortunately I only had my phone’s camera and… Read more »
Hammed-Up Cheese Scones
Saturday is for baking! Well, at least this Saturday is for baking (and colouring one’s hair but that’s not what this post is about). Actually, I don’t know if you could call today a Baking Day because that would insinuate that lots of baking has been happening and I’ve only made one batch of scones… Read more »
WordPress Upgrade and Xmas Food
I finally upgraded my WordPress and so far I’m loving it. The new dashboard design is very useful as most things are but one click away. I really hate having to go to two other pages to find what it is I want! Aside from this brief examination I have not explored much else, yet…. Read more »
