Now you all know how much I love my food and appreciate my food! Well, every now and then when I flick through some of my hiking/walking/trekking magazines I see these ads for food tours. I’ve never seriously considered going on one. But now that I’ve started travel sketching (adding another element to my travel […]
Banana & Date Breakfast Frostie
I have been smoothie-ing for years off and on, especially with green smoothies but it never occurred to me that I could make my smoothie without the greens too. Silly I know. I remember in high school we made banana smoothie, with a mashed up banana (using a fork not a blender) with milk. Because […]
Let’s Get Juicy. Today is Beach Orange
Moving to back to the beach has made a massive difference to our lifestyle. We’re a lot more healthy, more active, and more alert and alive….and a lot happier! I took this photo at the local kiosk by the beach. I just love this sign because it’s so true. “Life is GOOD at the Beach“ […]
Raw Chocolate Mousse is My New Foodie Love
As Saturday afternoon was nearing, the usual conversation and question began between me and Rupert : “So do you want to have anyone over tonight?” “Sure!” “Who’d you like over?” “Oh I don’t know” “Who’d you like?” “How about Dan and Hannah? We haven’t seen them for a while. It’ll be nice to see them” […]
Gangnam Style Korean BBQ in Northbridge
Gangnam Style!!! Well, I didn’t expect to be seeing Psy at our dinner at Sun BBQ in Northbridge. In fact I had already forgotten about Psy and his famous Gangnam style phenomena that he started. Even my 79 (soon to be 80 years old) mum knew who Psy is. She even told us about the […]
Deliciously Raw Chocolate Banana Crumble in My Thermomix
Awwwww Yumo!!! I seriously didn’t think I would be making something like this, but I was inspired by my curiousity to be more healthy and eat unprocessed foods, (which I have been in the last few weeks). So, I Googled and YouTubed “raw chocolate cake” but my keyword was “fast” or “easy” . I don’t […]
It’s Momo Time! …..and I’m not in Nepal for this one.
I was meant to be in Nepal right now on my Everest Base Camp Trek. I would have been day two into my trek but ahhh alas it was not to be this time. But that’s another story to be told for another day. So, my consolation of not being in Nepal was to be taken […]
The Night I Met Mario at Gargano in Claremont
He came up and put his arms around me and said “how about this one for a photo?” in his Italian accent! Our Belgian friends who now live in Perth often talk about how they miss the ambience of European restaurants, where a night out for dinner entails going to a restaurant where conversations go […]
How Sweetlips Gave Me $20
We headed off to SweetLips – Fresh Seafood (Fish & Chips) in Leederville (they also have a shop in Fremantle) for an Easter Friday fish and chips meal. Lucky we arrived and got a table when we did because it was about 10 mins after that, the crowds started coming in. It was getting extremely busy! […]
Hainanese Chicken Rice with Condiments in my Thermomix
If you are true South East Asian foodie then you’ll know and love your Hainanese Chicken Rice and you’ll know a good one from an ok one. So, when I came across the Hainanese Chicken Rice recipe for my Thermomix, accompanied with the ginger paste and chilli paste I quietly thought to myself that it wouldn’t be […]
