On farm classes
Guess where we went this weekend? All the following photos of Mum and Dad's farm (our escape-hatch) taken by Adam. (For the record, I haven't messed with the colour or light in any of these. It really is that green. And the light was really that amazing on Sunday afternoon. […]
While she napped ~ ~ I sat at my new desk (thanks, babe) ~ ~ and calculated the cost per cupcake of a small catering job I'm doing tomorrow for a friend's business (my favourite kind of work). I didn't look at the mess behind me. I ignored the chaos of […]
It's hard, right? And anyone with children under six who says * oh my children eat absolutely everything * dinnertime is always such a relaxing time of day * I satisfy my creativeness in the kitchen and my children play quietly somewhere else while I'm cooking is a cyborg. Really, […]
Hey I made something! (Other than a child – still a highlight.) A sewing project! I am on fire. Just a wee one, honestly, took about as long to choose the fabric (while constantly picking Tilly up off the floor who decided to "sleep" in the middle of an aisle […]
OK so the David Lebovitz icecream was very good, but a little fiddly. Having a dedicated tendency to err on the simpler side of things, I remembered a friend talking about icecream made with condensed milk. Mmmmm, condensed milk. Another good reason to have it in your pantry, right! So […]

To be hereby named the 'lapse in judgement' cake. It is in fact the very easy orange cake (one of my favourites), iced and also filled with good old butter cream (not the white chocolate icing I've made previously) and due to time pressures, iced and filled while still warm […]
Would you believe in blog-land there's such a thing as a blogiversary? And that I completely missed mine? I've been posting to Inner Pickle for over a year now! May 4th last year was my first post. Never being one to turn down an opportunity for cake, here's to a […]
Yuuuuuummmm. Ever made your own icecream? I've made it a few times, including a semifreddo phase I went through in the early nineties. THAT one was bad for my bum. But I've never made a 'custard' based icecream. I wanted to try this because being pregnant I can't eat anything […]
…seven years ago, I married the most excellent man I've ever met. We'd already been together six years, moved to London together for two of those, backpacked for another eight months and bought an apartment back in Sydney together. And had actually decided not to get married. I'd even broken […]
