So, my niece from America might be coming to stay with us for a while and she is a vegetarian. I mentioned this to my husband, Roo and he thought for a moment and said "Why don't we go veggie for the year she comes to stay"? We are both committed meat eaters but we have…
Twittering, catching up on US politics and just reflecting
I am a twitterer and am probably more suited to the short format. Whether it's finding time for a concentrated bout of writing, short attention span or just my nature, I am not sure. Most of my work day I spend at a screen and keyboard so I am probably a bit averse to logging…
January things
Locally grown avocados and stone fruits at the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmer's Market, my husband's birthday (he just turned 50, young thing), Tour Down Under and the Big Day Out. These are the January things that have me talking this year. I dusted off my old Avanti bicycle today and rode over to the Adelaide Showgrounds…
And now for some photos
I usually write here but would like to introduce some photos from our daily life. Well, when you have a cat or two, they really do rule the house. Speedy and Jose Gonzalez are two amazing brothers who came into our lives via the local vet who had rescued them. After nearly a year with…
MasterChef is over for now
It's over but I am not convinced that the right person won. I am one of those oddballs who liked Chris. But since it's 'reality TV' I am not going to get too worried about it. I do think however, that if it gets people into the kitchen making real food with real fresh ingredients,…
Melbourne was Fab
Our 24 hours in Melbourne were heaps fun. We did the very early flight over which gave us time to drop off bags at hotel in CBD, cruise the shops and lanes of Melbourne, grab a quick lunch and head off to the National Gallery of Victoria for the Salvador Dali exhibition before heading to…
Imagine my excitement
The Tour de France and MasterChef are on TV. World's top men in Lycra battling it out in the Pyrenees, six amateur chefs going head to head in the MasterChef kitchen. Things are hotting up in our living room! Then we are off to Melbourne for an exciting day of Dali at the gallery and…
Buenos Aires – 25 May 2009
Hola chicos, Excuse typing errors - very worn out keyboard...We are back in Buenos Aires and I must say, this could be the undisputed capital of empanadas. Today we went to a place called Ña Serapia, Las Heras, Av. 3357, and the empanadas were fragrant, delicate and so very delicious. http://www.guiaoleo.com.ar/detail.php?ID=917 As well as the…
Ollantaytambo, Peru – 21 May 2009
Hola Amigos! Due to a transport strike we are stuck in Ollantaytambo Peru...but we can think of worse places to be stuck. The scenery here is stunning and there are Inca Ruins. And we are in a comfortable hotel with good food! Not an empanada in sight though, sadly. We made a mad dash via…
San Pedro de Atacama, Peru – 6 May 2009
Hola Chicos! Well, we got to San Pedro de Atacama on Sunday night and checked into a quite unexpectedly cool accommodation...A mud brick little private cottage! The town is all made of adobe and with no measurable rain in the last few years is unlikely to wash away. We are at 2400 metres altitude in…
