Lobster – three simple recipes
The Sydney fish markets had beautiful lobsters selling for $20 each. So we bought five of them – excessive much? Contrary to the current economic downturn, lobsters (actually they’re crayfish here) have been breeding like crazy – lowering the price of the usually expensive shellfish....
I feel like… Chicken tonight?
I was online shopping for groceries last week for soup ingredients and I decided to order a whole chicken – a part of it for a chicken soup and roast the legs on a separate night. There are plenty of informative (albeit lame) videos on youtube, and I learnt how to butterfly a chicken by watching...
Potato and Leek Soup with prosciutto
What a better way to post hearty soup recipes, when most of you are approaching winter, and I’m stuck at home with four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. The nurse at the day surgery gave me a guideline for a “soft diet” which I have to maintain for at least 7 days. It includes...

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

My first attempt at Korean
You’re welcome to critique at anything I’ve done wrong – I felt a little lost shopping in the Korean section of the Asian grocer. I couldn’t read nor pronounce anything! All I know, is that I’ve always missed the Galbi Tang from Chosun Galbee in LA… and I’ve...
