In my last post, I talked about the trip Mr WM and I recently took to NZ. The trip coincided with a whole lot of holiday adventures for my colleagues at work, with three out of my peer group here in Sydney on holidays in the same week. While I was off gallivanting around the South Island, another was exploring Taiwan and a third was off having wonderful adventures in Europe.

Woolly Mammals in NZ!
Woolly Mammals in NZ!
Mitre Peak, Milford Sound
There are some things in life that I don’t think you appreciate enough until they are scarce. Holidays, I think, are a prime example.
As a child, I loved school. So much so that I recall spending one school holidays working on a “surprise” for my Mum – a school project on dolphins that I set for myself. I’m not sure if she was more impressed by my enthusiasm or…

Most of the time, I love what we eat at WM HQ. It’s fresh and light and healthy and tasty… but every so often I just really crave something packed with all the things Mr WM has to avoid. Things like garlic bread, or spaghetti bolognese, or bruschetta. Pad thai or massaman curry, or Chinese, or a hamburger…
Sometimes, an upside to travelling for work or…

Let me begin with an apology for my recent silence. The last few weekends have been pretty crazy; Mr WM went interstate to one wedding, I went interstate to another, and we both went away for a retreat weekend. Adding this to my travelling for work, I basically have not actually unpacked my little suitcase for about two months. But I do love a good wedding, and was…

There are certain foods that just have really weird names. Mostly British foods, to be honest, although “arugula” never fails to make me laugh (it’s just fun to say!). But really, who came up with some of these names? Bangers and mash, bubble and squeak, spotted dick, and – my personal favourite – toad in the hole. I recently discovered that here in Australia, toad in the hole…

I’ve been a little quiet on the crochet front lately. But there is a good reason! As regular readers would remember, I’ve been working on my first commission crochet piece. A lovely friend from work recently gave birth to her first little one – a beautiful baby girl – and I’ve been working on a blanket for the new arrival. I ordered the wool a few days after the birth and…

Spring planting
Spring planting (in pots)
Well after a few horrible weeks of endless rain, it seems spring has sprung here in Sydney! I have been able to escape most of the foul weather down in cold but beautiful Canberra, but Sydney has been miserable of late. It just seemed to rain and rain! Just when you thought the rain might have stopped and there’d be a sunny day, you’d throw a load of washing on, hang it…

I know a lot of people are over it now but I still love Masterchef. I still love seeing the amazing things they cook, the interesting ways they combine different flavours, the incredible gadgets they use that I would LOVE to have but could never justify buying (Thermomix, anyone? Commercial ice cream machine?) I still love the guest chefs – both the hilarity of the…

Mr WM and I play this game at the supermarket where we try and guess how much our weekly grocery shop will cost. The one with the closest guess, obviously, is the winner. You wouldn’t think it would change that much from week to week, as we tend to eat fairly similar meals. But I suppose all the specials and the stocking up on this, that or the other thing makes it vary quite a…

They say that your taste buds change as you get older. I’ve known some kids that love “exotic” foods like olives or sushi but most are quite happy with sausages and chicken nuggets. Yet somewhere along the line we develop an appreciation for a perfectly cooked rib eye steak. We pretend to like coffee as we think that drinking it makes us seem older and more sophisticated – and…

Mr WM loves his porridge. So much so, in fact, that he has a serve for breakfast every morning and then a muesli-style serve of oats and cold milk when he gets home from work in the afternoon. Personally, I’m not a fan – while I could be convinced by the addition of delicious things like honey and berries, I can’t get behind the mushy, gloopy texture. Oddly enough, I love…

People are always complaining about Sydney trains. Public transport always seems to get a rise out of people, but since I moved to Sydney it seems like I hear someone complaining about the trains every second day. Personally, I don’t really get what all the fuss is about as in my opinion, the trains in Melbourne are MUCH worse!
I know, I know, it really is a first world…

SO many recipes need stock. Seriously. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been like OH I COULD MAKE THIS FOR MR WM- oh wait, it needs stock. Initially I tried simply replacing stock with water but most of the time, if a recipe calls for stock, it really needs stock and is very bland without it.
You see, the problem with stock is that it always involves vegetables.…

Crochet flowers
It must be said that I am not the most coordinated of individuals. My throwing and catching skills are such that when someone tosses me an object and I actually catch it I exclaim in shock and awe, “Did you see that? Did you? I caught it!!!” I’m constantly discovering little bruises from running into furniture and last time I went ice skating, I thought I had got the hang of it…

It’s Sunday and that means cooking day! Especially as my mum is visiting this weekend, so that gives me an excuse to commit a few more hours to making lunch.
Pulled pork is one of those things that like salted caramel and smashed avocado has suddenly started appearing on every menu in every cafe and restaurant. As I have recently been in possession of a slow cooker, lent by…

Have you ever noticed that significant events tend to come in waves? Engagements, weddings, babies… it always seems like as soon as I hear about one, suddenly there are another five! A number of people have recently expressed a similar sentiment to me – although often more along the lines of wishing everyone would stop it! Personally, I am a huge fan of Momentous Life…
