Last night we had a dinner to celebrate my eldest sister’s birthday. Mum also wanted to give my cousin and her hubby a good home-cooked meal before they return home with their new baby (they live in the country, and have been in Perth for the birth of the baby, who was born on the […]
I’m a creature of habit…and “when you’re on a good thing, stick with it”.
After that huge pig out (phrase chosen deliberately for this story) at breakfast, I didn’t get hungry for lunch until 2:30pm! Even then, I was just peckish, not starving as I usually am.

On Wednesday morning, I met my sister J for a belated birthday (hers) breakfast. We went to a cafe on her university campus and proceeded to make perfect pigs of ourselves! She had bacon and scrambled eggs, toast and a hash brown. The clump of alfalfa was the garnish (noooooo she didn’t order it!). I […]

Jac is off to her cousin’s 40th birthday party tonight. The costume theme is “Something you should’ve thrown out years ago”. Jac’s wearing this horrible blue and green track suit (top and bottom) with an old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle T-shirt (I confess, the T-shirt is mine!). The party promises to be a big piss-up; […
A few people have asked for the baked cheese cake recipe, and so here it is. Thanks to my Mum for sharing it. She told me a friend gave her this recipe when we were still living in Malaysia, but she only made it after we had immigrated to Australia, where ingredients such as the […]
