Finding it difficult to believe that Easter is round the corner and with today being Pancake Today to boot. I cheated with the photo, it was taken on Sunday when one of my housemate decided to cook pancakes for everyone. He did repeat the performance today, cooking a batch of blueberry pancakes for his workmates.… Continue reading Pancake Tuesday and Owl Parliament

Freaky Valentine
What happened when Friday the 13th was the day before Valentine’s Day? Aside from the horror of heart shaped sashimi and (I suspect) a heart shaped axe being sold somewhere by a canny entrepreneur or two somewhere, the two rarely meets. On Friday I wandered down to London Bridge to catch a glimpse of a… Continue reading Freaky Valentine
Bondi Icebergs
Think of Australian beaches and Bondi immediately comes to mind. Although arguably not the best or biggest beach in Sydney, but it is probably the most famous due to quality entertainment such as Bondi Rescue. Popular with the eastern suburb crowd, it easily has the best dressed beach populace in Australia and Paris Hilton will… Continue reading Bondi Icebergs
40 degrees of separation
First real post of the year, although parts of me felt as if it was still left behind in 2008. I left on a scorching Sydney day with temperature of 37 degrees to arrive on a ridicolous winter’s day of minus 3 degrees. In the back of my head I am getting flashback of arriving… Continue reading 40 degrees of separation
Whisk and Laddle and the mysterious phenomenom known as Supperclub
It was a dark and icy night and I was wondering down an unknown street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn wondering what the hell posessed me to do this in the first place. I had not given the oh so secret address to anyone and had this all been a ploy to lure unsuspecting tourist then this… Continue reading Whisk and Laddle and the mysterious phenomenom known as Supperclub
Christmas in the air and peekaboo
It’s finally December and I’m heartily counting down every day for my very short holiday. In the meantime, I have a FO for once! Completed my Peekaboo mittens and rather happy that I managed to do it in time for the finger numbing chilliness that managed to sweep its way into the city. It’s… Continue reading Christmas in the air and peekaboo
Cooking through home sickness
Murtabak or Mutabbaq (Arabic: مطبق) is a dish which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Hejaz region), Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia,Singapore, and Brunei. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means “folded”. I went a little mad in the kitchen last week, not in a knife wielding ala Psycho kind of way, but in… Continue reading Cooking through home sickness
Knitting and baking
Crappy disjointed week and the same is looking the same for next week unfortunately. Trying to finish projects that I have started, but I haven’t had much time to sit down properly do so…Above is an almost complete set of Peekaboo mittens (pattern by Pensive Frog) knitted using Jaeger Roma, shade 020 I picked up… Continue reading Knitting and baking
aMaze-ing – dinner at maze
It’s official, I have November-itis. Sympthoms include feeling sorry myself, not liking the cold and dreading being outside. Expert sources have identified it as a close relative of the Man Flu, but blogging about food is taking the edge of it somewhat. On top of my list of things to do while living in London is… Continue reading aMaze-ing – dinner at maze
European Weekender Part Tre: Torino
A few things that I vaguely know about Turin before I took myself there for the long weekend: Juventus Turin shroud Where chocolate was invented Not much else… Not knowing anything about a place did not worry me as much as missing my plane to reach the said unknown place for the third time… For… Continue reading European Weekender Part Tre: Torino
