Remembering Louise Pergolini Tucker
Tomorrow, the 10th of April will be seven years since we lost our mother Louise and I know we all think of her daily. More often than not I think of her in the kitchen. The place where she prepared so many meals for her six children and anyone we brought home with us. The room with…
The Market Shed on Holland Street
Another Sunday market in Adelaide city -- The Market Shed on Holland Street. I discovered it today but only had time for a quick look and a small purchase or two. But I'll be back, I promise. Published via Pressgram
A glimpse of my Adelaide in Festival mode
It's not officially March, but March Madness has officially begun. Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Festival of the Arts, Womadelaide and a motor race all happening at once. Today I strolled through the Central Market on my way to an exhibition and spotted yummy foods and Fringe performers giving a taste of their upcoming show. I love…
A belated wish for 2014
Greetings from my desk, complete with my new fit ball/desk chair. The year 2014 and I have gotten off to a rocky start. Already we've had some ups and downs.

Living by the low food miles philosophy is possible here. Sometimes I break from the philosophy,…
I primi di settembre
In Australia, early September bring spring with it. And Adelaide is putting on a spectacular display this year after a long wet winter. The lovely green patch of grass out the back of our house is perfect for spending time with the cats - who are full of energy in the gentle sunshine. Our front garden…

L'ultima di queste riunioni è stata alla casa di campagna della compagna di banco Maura e suo marito Vic. La loro casa di compagna si trova nella splendida penisola di…
Homemade Pizza ~ Fleurieu Style
For three years now I have been studying Italian with the same group of people and the same teacher. From time to time different members of the group get together socially. The latest such gathering was at the country house of fellow student Maura and her husband Vic. The property is on the beautiful Fleurieu…
Summer, where did you go?
Oh dear, I hope that three months between posts is not the new normal. But it has been a full three months as expected back in my January post. A frantic pace was maintained by Roo, Giulia (la cugina) and I with performances and events galore during the March Madness season in Adelaide. Giulia's two…
