On farm classes
What is going ON? I cannot seem to remember my own name. So, first, last week, I rock up to work without my laptop. This equipment is kinda crucial to my role. I couldn't even pretend. I had to look blank-faced at my boss and tell him I was going […]
A gorgeous visit to my sister Suze's house… they have chooks! (Check out this pen my brother in law built, clever dude.) The euphoria of a fresh laid egg! gorgeous nephew another gorgeous nephew and another gorgeous nephew. Blessed, we are. People with three small boys shouldn't look this good. […]
You'd never believe it, after sitting around looking over my left-hand-side new-things-to-do list for how long now? I'm finally plowing through it. Today: awesome hummus!! I've made hummus before, probably most of you have, it's pretty straightforward. I was once responsible for making the condiments at a café in Glebe about […]
You mean I need to stop eating these long enough to write a post? Naaah. I can multi-task. Yoghurt maple balls. *sigh*. You know I'm pretty finicky about recipe provenance. I always try to credit anyone and any recipe that has influenced one of mine. This one is a wee […]

Began pretty well, no therapies this morning (2 mornings a week I juggle breakfast/ getdressed/ lunchesmade/ getpackedup followed by daycare drop-off and then Henry's occupational therapy or speech therapy and then school dropoff and then get myself across the city to work. Actually […]
Another super-quick and totally easy dinner that your kids might eat: Oodles of Noodles with Ham and Cheese. A couple of years ago when I told my truly excellent mother in law that I had taken a job cooking for a hundred children at a big preschool in Brisbane, she sent […]
Something else I love about the farm: the trees. A very old fig. Hard to get the scale without a person standing at its base, but they're cattle yards behind. This tree is enormous. I love it. These too, just cool looking trees on the driveway up to the house. […]
If you ever see panettone on special, often any time other than Christmas, you should buy it. Personally I don't love it just as a cake-briochy-bready thing, but like this, it is heaven: Toasted, spread with butter and sprinkled with icing sugar isn't my brilliant original idea. Adam and I […]
