They Just Die in the Right Way

May 19, 2010

I come home from the supermarket with a bunch of roses, to brighten the house, to bring Rish a smile when he works from home in the mornings, hiding from the cold of outside. There’s something awesome about the way roses dry up and die. I remember a bunch I kept once from Rish, maybe [...]

Black Cats and Licorice

May 17, 2010

I never really liked licorice and aniseed growing up (or as a grown up), so I surprised myself when I took a piece of licorice (in lieu of the freddo frogs on offer), nibbled on it, and actually enjoyed it. Rish thinks I’m gross now ;)

Great Global Kiss-in

May 15, 2010

Monday marks the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia… and what better way to mark it that with a worldwide kiss-in running in different places around the world from May 14-17. Most of the Australian ones are today to coincide with the Equal Marriage rallies, which will be ongoing I’m sure in the lead up [...]

Bloggers Without Makeup

May 14, 2010

I probably wear makeup about once a fortnight when I’m heading out for dinner and/or drinks, so you’ll usually see me without makeup on this blog, but why not join in the fun of Bloggers without Makeup? :p I’m in the Uni library, on the final day of my semester, writing an essay about modifying [...]

Low-fat Lemon Chicken

May 13, 2010

Gorgeously simple! I wanted something with meat in it the other night. But nothing too sweet or greasy… The recipe I based it on came from from the Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook: 200 Wok Recipes book that I got through the bookclub at work for about $5! Sooo simple, just wish I’d planned ahead and [...]

Lamb Bolognese?

May 12, 2010

How can you go wrong with reduced to clear (lamb) mince, kinky olive oil, red wine and fresh basil? There’s certainly a ‘lamby’ smell to it… Throw in some carrot and zucchini for vege goodness. (oops, forgot mushrooms!) Winter warmers! :)

The Organisational Behaviours of Ants

May 8, 2010

A friend linked to a post about the book Ant Encounters: Interaction Networks and Colony Behavior (Primers in Complex Systems)… the post had the following quote: Every summer, I get calls from people who are puzzled to find a heap of dead Argentine ants in their freezer. The ants are attracted to something, presumably an [...]

Planning, Stress, AWOL, and a little Red Wine.

The organisation of my trip to Germany is taking shape, finally. We have flights to and from Vienna, I have train tickets for once we’re back in Frankfurt to Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin, and have started sorting out / looking at accommodation. Getting there. Still need to get back to Frankfurt from Berlin, but that [...]
