We’ve been baking tonight! Well, Jac did the baking, I made the mocha icing and decorated the chocolate mini muffins. I’m taking a batch of mini muffins to work for afternoon tea tomorrow – more on that soon! :D EDIT: See Chocolate mini muffins, Part 2 – it’s my birthday!
When I got home from work Jac gave me a cold drink and told me to take off my shoes, get into my home clothes and relax – she would be serving the starter very shortly. I sniffed the air and I thought I could smell mustard. As it turned out, it was mustard! She’d […]
Jac and I went to the Massive Attack concert in Kings Park, Perth on 12 March. We met up with my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay (Juji and I had bought the tickets for the concert together) and we shared a lovely picnic on the grass. I much prefer the more relaxed outdoor concert […]

My niece Zoe (younger sister of Ruby) turned 1 year old at the end of February. Jac was away in Denmark that weekend but I went along to Zoe’s first birthday party, a barbecue lunch with family and friends. It was quite a feast! Here’s the birthday girl! She had a great time. There were […]
I’d heard a lot about Mamak, a Malaysian restaurant in Sydney, long before this recent trip. It’s my sister Jaded and her hubby JM’s favourite Malaysian restaurant.
