Sydney a post apocalyptic preview
There are many reasons to love Sydney, like its constant blue sky. On the other hand today’s orange start gave an early preview of a post apocalyptic Sydney. I am waiting for the dust storm to come back later on in the afternoon, hoping to catch a glimpse of a very red sun set across… Continue reading Sydney a post apocalyptic preview

Among all the excitement, some friends are holding an exhibition as part of the festival on the 18th of October.

Let the good food year start!
The 2010 SMH Good Food Guide is out and it’s nice to see a number of new restaurants newly hatted. Restaurant of the year is Quay with Chef of the year going to Mark Best from Marque.

Creative Sydney
The last 10 weeks of enforced waiting in Sydney reminded me of how much I love Sydney. I love the way the sun is always out, its beautiful harbour, its amazing food, the unholy mess of urban planning and best of all for the friends and family that will always make it home for me.… Continue reading Creative Sydney

Speaking of the former and not the latter, a good friend of mine brought my… Continue reading Contemplating my stomach – Fratelli Fresh

The zine fair was a lot of fun and I picked up a number of zines and walked away feeling rather inspired. I’ll blog about in a while once I finish downloading some… Continue reading Nippon Club
Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
There are very few times in life when armed with a spoon or fork or both that I fail to tackle a vulnerable looking dessert, but when confronted with this baseball size dessert appropriately named Nuts and Ball created as a homage to a snicker bar I had to admit defeat. It was a Tuesday… Continue reading Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
From dusk till dawn
Four weeks into the waiting period and although I wish I could say time is flying by, but I am mentally crossing each day rather like Sal from The Secret River by Kate Grenville. Even with email, phone and modern convenience the concept of London is becoming vaguer each day. I am missing people, the… Continue reading From dusk till dawn
Sydney Growers Market or why waking up early is good for your stomach
For the past goodness know how many years, I have managed to commit the cardinal sin of sleeping through the first Saturday of the month and not go to the Sydney Growers Market. In my defence, the market is open only between the indecent hours of 7 – 11 Am. So unless you are a… Continue reading Sydney Growers Market or why waking up early is good for your stomach
