I had booked a stunning degustation dinner for GG and I to celebrate their being an entire month of Spring in the Valley activities this year, but sadly it wasn’t meant be and it was cancelled, so we decided that after enjoying some UFC action in the morning that we would head to Riverbank for […]

Saturday was a total clur – so many little jobs to do and already the added challenge of having to wake up early and go and pick up my car from work after a glass and a half more of vino than I should have on Friday. So I managed to set off at about […]

Was a lovely way to spent my last Sunday in Australia before my big 5-week holiday to the US, by heading out for breakie with my favourite Lamberts – Kris and Kerryn for Breakie! We headed to Coode Street Cafe, one of those many places that I’ve wanted to go for a while and finally made […]

I was super lucky at the 2010 Diggers & Dealers conference this year and was invited to the Focus Minerals dinner, which was on site in Coolgardie, right near their tailings pit and was a very impressive evening. They had fires set up, which given the weather I was huddling around, hell to the consequences, […]

Was great to have some cousins around and try my hand at a Christmas in July dinner. Leonards chicken lent a hand and I picked up two of their chicken mini roasts, with herb and garlic stuffing. Super easy to cook is a massive bonus. I finally got to use some of the Christmas plates […]

GG and I decided that as a special treat for running the 8km around the block that we’d head out to lunch on Sunday and try our luck at Yum Cha again. We visited the same place as last time in Northbridge for some tasty treat. I loved that the bowl of chilli they gave […]

One of GG and my favourite purchases is the Margaret Fulton food encyclopedia, its very extensive, with hundreds and thousands of recipe ideas. So GG decided he wanted to try out the chicken and mushroom pie recipe. Mushrooms – yummo So it was quite a long process, and you had to make chicken stock from […]

I headed out for End of Financial Year dinner at Christinas in Vic Park on Friday night with my work crew. I was completely exhausted by the end of the week, so I wasn’t really feeling it, but the food was all pretty tasty. For starters we shared some tasting plates – garlic bread, chorizo, […]

One of my favourite days of the year is the Sitella Seafood and Shiraz long lunch. A blissful afternoon with my GG in the wintertime sunshine. Last year I pulled up a little dusty after my work’s end of financial year dinner the night before but I was very well behaved this year and felt […]

I caught up with my good friend Maree the other day and we decided we try out a new addition to the Beaufort Street strip, burger joint – Grill’d. I thought the burgers were pretty tasty. There’s such a growing list of burger’ys in Perth these days and I have yet to try many others, but […]
