So Many Dates

February 7, 2010

The food festival day of the National Multicultural Festival was yesterday. Since I wasn’t there for the beer, unlike much of Canberra who drank their way through the day, I busied myself in the Middle East – working my way through the samples of coffee and dates that Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Iraq, Kuwait, the Emirates [...]

Icing Biscuits for Therapy

November 13, 2009

There are so many language goals you can target by simply playing with milk arrowroots, icing, food colours and some lollies. I tend to have the kids requesting the items them want into order to make the iced biscuits of their dreams. Practising question forms, descriptions, listening skills, clear speech, and sequencing (you know, so [...]

Zambrero *crunch*

October 2, 2009

Went in to meet Rish for lunch a couple of times this week, to relieve the boredom (I promise you, this was enough exertion for one day)… and Wednesday finally got to try Zambrero, the taco place on a corner at the Civic bus interchange. We’ve passed it a few times on a Sunday when [...]

Easy Chicken

September 30, 2009

I love anything that involves throwing things in a pot, putting it in the oven, and showing up 1-1.5 hours later to eat it! Let’s call it a “Taste test” with the eyes. What are the ingredients to this dinner?

Rish's Gourmet Salad

August 5, 2009

Ahh we love to go “gourmet” around here. That means few ingredients, minimal chopping and impressive results. Like this mushroom, rocket and romano cheese salad. Dress with Balsamic vinegar. Nice.

August 2, 2009

12 stalks of rhubarb juice and grated zest of one lemon 2 tablespoons orange juice (fresh or bottled is fine) Tablespoon sugar (the recipe reckons artificial sweetener, like Splenda, but I don’t have any, and don’t think it’s worth it!)

Depot, Darby Street

July 15, 2009

While I was in Newcastle, I went to The Depot, a new cafe on Darby St, twice for lunch. Mostly because I hadn’t been there yet, and the first time because I was by myself on Saturday and it looked like I could tuck away at a table with a magazine and eat without being [...]

Playing with Fire

July 10, 2009

I’m up in Newcastle for the next few days, seeing friends and family… Tonight I’m out at Honeysuckle … Because the council has funded a ‘livesite’ with a band and lots of fires, presumably to serve the dual purposes of looking awesome and keeping people warm. Photos will of course follow on my return to [...]

Looking up

May 24, 2009

Barely a sniffle these past few days, aside from battling with a red curry last night :) Went with friends for dinner and then to see Gomorrah at Dendy. I can’t believe I’ve not been to Dendy in the Canberra Centre until now – the seats are so comfy! And wide! :) The movie was [...]

Wanting my Nutella!

May 1, 2009

The plan is to go back to work next week, fit as a fiddle! I’m down to a few coughing fits (had one at 5am this morning) and woke up with a sore throat… and some other semi-related pains due to antibiotics messing with my pill and getting an extra period. *grumbles* Such is life. [...]

Porridge = a big warm hug?

April 15, 2009

Pocky Review: Milk Flavour

March 18, 2009

Got these pocky sticks for $1.49 from the HUB Asian grocery in Belconnen when I was up there for a meeting last week… Cute little cow on the front, and $2 cheaper than the Hello Kitty Strawberry and Thomas the Tank Engine chocolate pocky they had! A little bit grey in colour, but harmless and [...]
