Always nice to give a heads up to a new foodie event heading to the West and this one goes hand in hand with a regular feature on the summer concert calendar – the Big Day Out. Adding an element of foodie flare to this year’s musical extravaganza is Chow Town! While an impressive range of international musical […]

It can be quite lovely when an opportunity presents to visit somewhere new when you weren’t expecting it. Such was the opportunity last week when I went to a meeting in town with Boss B and he fancied a visit to Small Print Baker and Roastery, the newest addition to the ever impressive Brookfield Place […]

There is something just so Aussie about the fact that we lucky folk can partake in eating our national emblem if the mood so takes – I love a sunburnt country! And as Australia Day is just around the corner Grill’d has come to the party with a new burger available for a limited time […]

Only a short post here, but this is basically just an ode to the magic of Smoult’s Continental Deli’s basil pesto.

Christmas Day itself was just a touch under 40 degrees but I’m sure it was north of this figure further inland, for instance in the […]

My Nana hails from Germany and is a little partial to a visit to Elmar’s in the Swan Valley. So given I knew I wasn’t going to be able to see her on Christmas Day I planned for GG and I to take her for lunch at Elmar’s on the Sunday before. The weather was on […]

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 72,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that […]
