How To: Teach Your Partner to Cook

I’m consistently gob-smacked at the number of people I know who do all the cooking in their household because their partner ‘doesn’t know how to cook’.
What the hell?
Maybe I’m biased by a childhood spent learning to cook, but surely – cooking ISN’T rocket science. RIGHT? I firmly believe that just about anyone can learn to [...]

I Hate to be a Critic…

But man, I bought a Cosmo for the first time in years (I was sick, thought it might amuse but not strain my brain). And they’ve got a sex blogger. Holy crap. This person gets PAID for blogging in a mag? And blogging in a mag? What the HELL??

And The Rains Came Tumbling Down

Live blogging through a thunderstorm.
This could take off, yeah?
*cough*
I’m sitting in bed in a house in Ipswich, listening to the grumbles of a double-front storm heading my way.

Whups.

Where the Hell Have I Been?

Puking my guts up, and lying around feeling sorry for myself.

Open Letter to Milton Drivers

1. It is alright – even legal – to indicate more than 1m before a turn.
2. For that matter, it’s alright [...]

Musical Monday

Let’s go back.
RIGHT back.
Back to these days…
Wham – Wake Me Up Before You GoGo

I LOVE this clip. It’s my quintessential 80s music clip. And dear God, George Michael WAS a spunk! I’m drooolin’… no wonder so many women were crushed when they found out he wasn’t interested.
PS. Check out the little [...]

Disambiguation – German Sweet Stuff

I’ve had a few people find this blog recently via searches requesting information about strudel vs streusel. So for the sake of the puzzle, here’s some piccies:
Strudel

Streusel

(now, the streusel doesn’t look the way I make it – I’m a traditionalist, meaning I cook it the way Mum did – as a huge slab cake! But [...]
