I have signed up for National Novel Writing Month. If I can hardly ever blog, how ever will I manage to write 50,000 words in a month? November will be a busy month with renovations, work, a long weekend away and 50,000 words to write. I don't even have a topic. Oh dear. Nothing to…
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…
Santiago Chile – 3 May 2009
We are in Santiago and getting ready to fly to San Pedro de Atacama (Calama) this arvo. Our flight from Mendoza to here was canceled as it is a small airport with no health screening facilities for the Swine Flu. So we had a fantastic bus ride during daylight hours over the Andes! It was…
Mendoza Argentina – 29 April 2009
First let me apologise for my typing on a spanish keyboard with different characters and some of the letters worn off! Greetings from Mendoza Argentina, wine country. The vuelta de empanada continues. We would like to say we have not had a day without an empanada but that would probably be false. However some days…
Buenos Aires – 20 April 2009
Just a very jet lagged message to say we have arrived in Buenos Aires. Our Culinary Vuelta de Empanadas officially began today soon after our arrival. Empanadas are the South American equivalent of pasties with different savoury fillings! So many choices! We tried three types today. Flight was just bloody long but met a few…
