Part of the mystery of the hungry house guest has been solved. We have located the entry point. Check out our (defunct, brrrr) heater. Now look down. Look closer. At the fiddlestickin’ HOLE IN THE WALL. It’s a wonder that we haven’t had mice, rats, possums or f’in elephants in here before. (I’d just like [...]
(Shudder) I woke up this morning, ready like Tigger to bounce out of the house and to the gym; I have been slightly appalled at the “fluidity” of my arms in my cooking videos and so I have decided to put a stop to it. Ha! Anyway, as I was walking through the kitchen, I [...]
Popeye should be the international comic strip of the food-obsessed. I mean, first of all, the hero relies on a can of spinach to rescue his girl from hairy situations. And second of all, his girlfriend’s name is Olive Oyl! On the other hand, who likes canned spinach? Blech! And isn’t it funny that SPINACH [...]

I feel quite proud of myself, chaps. A few weeks ago, my friend Laura hired me to bake her a cake for her big milestone birthday this past weekend. To be honest, I was really nervous about it. While I was flattered that Laura trusted me enough to ask me, I hadn’t baked in a [...]
This week’s episode is up! Take a look; I made curried popcorn. -x-aarti
Hey guys! You all are a smart, literary bunch; want some books? We’re still trying to pare down our possessions, and so I have a bunch of good books to give away. I can send them to you too, if you’re willing to pay postage. I already have them up on Bookins and Paperbackswap but [...]
This woman is amazing! Belt-tightening means less parties which means catering businesses are suffering. But this woman’s catering business is booming. Why? Because she is more focused on others (teaching disadvantaged women how to better their lives, and employing them) than in making money for herself. A non-profit catering company. What an idea! She is [...]
