On farm classes
D'you know, my very first post, in May 2009, was a muesli bar recipe. In fact, this one. It was before I'd thought about actually including photos of the food, and unless you are either of my two sisters you probably never read it. So I'm posting it […]
Oh my goodness, this slice. *Respectful silence* My mouth is watering just flicking through the photos. My fingers are itching to go get a piece out of the fridge. And you know what, I CAN'T. Because I had the foresight to give the entire thing away after […]
You know you're a bit saturated in northern hemisphere culture when your Australian kids ask whether it really is Christmas time, like, where's the snow? We don't do fake snow on the trees or windows over here. We embrace a warm Christmas and a cool seafood lunch. More on […]
Adam does not have a sweet tooth in his head. (Pass him the olives and the fetta any time of day.) But some weeks he'll look up from the laptop and say, just ever so slightly folornly, that slice looked nice. Because mostly it's made, photographed and out the door before he's […]
I love apple slice. I judge a bakery on it's apple slice (after it passes the Vanilla Slice test, but that's another Wednesday.) And you know what? I've never made it. Not once. I love Slice of Wednesday. It's a whole new world of baking action. I have eaten […]

Hello middle of the week. Hump day. Midway. SLICE day!!! HOORAY! I made this one up. It's OK, not drop dead to-die-for fabulous, but nice. A nice slice. Quick and easy. Kid-friendly (as long as they are not allergic to peanuts.) It's not the prettiest looking thing, […]
Hello Wednesday lets-make-a-slice day! How I love you. Today, we're veering away from the sticky sweet condensed-milk-heavy fare of recent Wednesdays and attempting something more lunchbox friendly. White Chocolate and Cranberry Oat Slice. I made it up based on the fact I had white chocolate and cranberries sitting […]
Well the BEST news of the week has to be that I found a (traumatised) Isa Brown hiding deep in an enormous bramble bush yesterday. She was very stuck. I put on gloves and with a saw and an axe (and a baby in a backpack!) I got her out. […]
Hi! Hello! Nice to see you! Yep, sorry about the no-show. Remember what I said about being a daily blogger unless that day kicks my arse? Yesterday was a day. Far out. Dreadful headcold. Adam away working. Grouchy children. House a terrible mess. A promised afternoon outing with friends to […]
