Blue skies and sunshine. Winter in Perth is a tough gig. Sure the sun doesn’t have the same bite as in summer, but it still does a decent job of providing some warmth if you bask in its rays. GG and I visited Oakover Grounds recently, the rebranded and revamped Oakover Wines. I love the […]

When I heard that Chophouse was going to be opening in Perth I was excited. I’d been to the one in Sydney once before and had memories of it being a lovely night out, so it was welcome news that a west coast addition to this steak house eatery was on the way. GG loves […]

I love pizza. Just so much. I would have it on my list of ‘these are a few of my favourite things’ along with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. But post Europe, GG and I have endeavored to aim to eat a bit healthier with less of an emphasis on carbs, so I’ve […]

Last year Rendezvous in Scarborough underwent a massive refurb and the results are impressive! The rooms all had a modern facelift and the restaurant downstairs previously known as Pines became Straits Cafe. A change is as good as a holiday but along with the name change was a switch from weekend buffets to al a […]

Having just gotten back from a fairly long holiday I’ve quickly been reminded about the hectic pace of a working week. Trying to balance work commitments with exercise, pets, partners, family and friends, not to mention all the other general running around can mean that figuring out what to have for dinner can become something […]

Ain’t two ways about it, Rockingham is a hell of a long drive from home, probably just under an hour from our place. So, when GG and I headed Rocko-ward for a catch up lunch with his parents I had high hopes that the place we had chosen would warrant the slightly longer drive. I’d […]

Holidays. What’s not to love about them? I swear that my recent six week European adventure was a good year and a half in the making. Hours spent planning out which countries to visit and then further refining those plans to where will we stay and finally where will we eat! It was a labour […]

I love to cook. I find it quite relaxing when you have a whole afternoon to potter round the kitchen, like your own personal cooking show, as you chop this and stir that. I also really enjoy cooking up a roast. And sure it can be slightly more work getting it all ready, but one […]

Bigger is apparently better at Dianella burger joint Novembars. Quite the little gem. This burger spot was a fish and chip shop in a previous life and is in a fairly non-descript group of shops hidden away in suburbia. I’d read about it ages ago and I believe a cousin may have also told me […]

I like McDonald’s. Actually that might be understating this lifelong affair. I’d go so far as to say there are things about Maccas that I love. Number one on that list being their cheeseburgers. I love them to bits. Any day of any week I could go a cheeseburger or two. I’d likely also go […]
