Banishing Seitan

53 1
I know I post a lot of seitan-centric meals on this blog.  It's not that Andy and I worship seitan or anything - it's just that we always have some in the freezer, as it's a good way to use up okara, which we produce in droves from making[...]

Cashew Seitan

We've recently had a regular and large stash of broccoli in the fridge, thanks to cheap prices.  We've also recently had some very tiring work days, and come home with no real desire to make a gourmet, three-course menu.  On one of these[...]

Poop-tastic

53 1
Mostly on this blog, I talk about food.  But today I'm going to talk about the by-product of that food -- poop.  Not human poop, but worm poop.  That shit (ha!) is awesome. We live in a unit, with a very small, paved back[...]

Lazy Crafternoons

Now that it's a bit cooler, I have picked up my crocheting again - having it in my lap keeps me warm, instead of making me unbearably hot.  I have a few unfinished projects leftover from last year, but instead of working on those I decided to[...]

Noodles. Oodles of them.

When I was a kid there was a poem that me and my sister *loved*.  I can't remember exactly how it goes; I've found this version by googling but something tells me it's not quite right - for one thing, I'm fairly certain our noodles poem was much[...]

Loooong weekend.

53 1
Last weekend in Australia was a 5 day weekend - 5! That's as long as a typical work week!  Although I'm not religious, and observe neither Good Friday nor Easter, and although I have yet to attend a dawn service or otherwise make a big deal out[...]

World Kitchen

Andy and I are planning an exciting international trip later in the year.  We haven't booked flights yet, so I don't want to make any pronouncements here - because as soon as I do, something is bound to change.  But we did get some travel[...]

Sweet Tart

I've been on a bit of a caramel apple kick lately, manifested in my graduation party caramel-apple upside down cake .  The start of the caramel apple theme started a week earlier, though, with a Friday night dinner.  Andy suggested we have[...]

Graduated

Hey, so remember how last year I submitted my PhD thesis ?  Well, after 6 months of examination, then a few corrections, I made it through!  My thesis was officially passed at the end of February, about 2 days before the deadline to attend[...]

Bogan Pizza, Boutique Pizza

53 1
One of the things I love so much about pizza (aside from the delicious, delicious crust) is how versatile it is. Case in point: This cheeseburger pizza is probably the biggest bogan of the pizza world (though my frank & beans pizza might[...]
