In our house Dr. Pepper is king when it comes to soft drinks. We don’t drink soft drink very often but when the doctor is in the house it’s a special occasion. Since Schweppes stopped producing Dr. Pepper in Australia several years back we have had to pay premium prices for our beloved cola beverage. [...]
I love coconut macaroons so I have tried many different recipes and this one is by far the best. It’s so easy with so few ingredients they can be whipped up easily when unexpected guests pop round…oh I hate unexpected guests but that’s a blog post for another day.

Yesterday as my husband left for work at 8:30am I gave him $5 and asked if he could pick up some bread on the way home from work. That night at around 8pm he returned with much more than I had expected, the shopping bag was full. He had purchased 12 buns, [...]
As a child I remember sitting at the table with my mother’s scrutinizing glare on me and the way I ate chicken wings.

I was in the city the other day and happened to walk past the new Krispy Kreme donut store. I couldn’t believe my eyes, the store was full and the line up was out the door and around the corner! There were mothers with prams, mothers with crying babies, students, workmen in grubby shorts, office [...]
The other day while preparing dinner my three year old nephew asked “is that red meat?” I answered with a yes and continued slicing. He gave me a filthy look and informed me that his mummy doesn’t eat red meat. He then went on to give me a mini lecture with pointed [...]
Today I had made myself a mayonnaise, chicken, lettuce and sun dried tomato sandwich for lunch. With a chocolate milk on the side all I needed was something to watch over lunch. I’m a big fan of real life crime shows so I picked an episode of “The first 48″ that I [...]
