Leather Jacket Worn By Angelina Jolie In WANTED

I wonder if it still smells like her.
Does anyone have a spare $8000? I’m a pre-approved bidder!

Gordon Ramsey

At the good food and wine show Sydney!

I always thought I was crazy for chefs (being a bit of a chef groupie), that was, until I went to Gordon’s show. My lord are the middle aged ladies crazy for the guy! Gordon fits extremely well in a live audience setting. His crude and offending humour [...]

Vitamin Water

I’ve always been a keen believer that vitamins should be consumed from its natural source. Hence I have always been a keen believer in organic produce, and I never take vitamin supplements (can something that gives you flurorescent pee really be good for you?).
Vitamin water is presently one very popular product on the market, [...]

Mushroom on toast

I’m always stuck for ideas of what to eat in the office in the mornings. It doesn’t really get past toast or cereal, as the appliances are limited in an office kitchenette.
This is something you can prepare the night before, if you can be bothered. (In my case, I just had a lot of spare [...]

Palm Cove

I headed to tropical North Queenland for Queen’s birthday long weekend and stayed two nights in Palm Cove to catch up on some R&R at the Angsana Resort
The one bedroom suites were more than accomodating in size with fully equipped kitchen (decked out with Miele appliances) and large bedroom upstairs. The sitting room can comfortably [...]

Cafe Sopra – Fratelli Fresh Potts Point

Situated at next to the lobby of the Ikon apartment building on Macleay St (the site of many failed restaurants, including twenty eleven) in Potts Point, comes a breath of fresh air to the neighbourhood. It’s definitely the fail-proof option for such a doomed space. Fratelli Fresh opens the second providore for all the precious [...]

Splurges of the week

I guess there is a reason why I’m flat broke. Not only did I purchase the 1982 Dom, I also bought the 1988 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. They were impeccably cellared from a deceased estate and they would make great additions to my ’secret collection’.

And along with my secret collection… the second reason why I’m flat [...]
