Ominvores Hundred
This is a list from the Very Good Taste blog of food that Andrew thinks should be tried at least once in your life. He has asked the following: 1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 3) Cross out any items that you [...]
Cooking Bill Granger – Fortnight 1
As part of my list of things to do for this year I have set myself a task to cook from one of Bill Granger‘s cookbooks once a fortnight (a week was too much!). I like his style of cooking, primarily because he is an australian chef, his recipes are easy to follow and good [...]
Good Food and Wine Show 2007
I took Friday off work as a flex day to attend my first ever Good Food and Wine Show after pre-ordering my tickets at ticketek the day before. I got there around 9.45am since I knew that even though I had booked my 10.30 show with celebrity chef Ben O’Donoghue I still needed to line up [...]
Restaurant II – Degustation Menu
Throughout my teens and twenties I wasn’t too fussed about my birthday since it was on school holidays and it was too hard to organise things then. Apart from a surprise party at age 15, a bittersweet 21st birthday and a karaoke bowling 30th my birthdays have been mostly forgettable. Somehow though I’ve experienced an [...]
Dormant chef
My trip to Adelaide must have awakened a sleeping giant, the dormant chef if you will. Inspired by the markets down there I’ve been on a mission to find all the quality produce I can in Brisbane and kindly document it on a map for one and all. It’s still a work in progress, but [...]
tomber le chariot
To save you a search on babel fish “tomber le chariot” means falling off the wagon in french and “tomber le chariot” is what I did last night. The Tony Ferguson diet has been working well for me so far (5.5 kilos in 4 weeks) but last night I felt like a treat. A quick [...]
Summer cocktail recipe
It’s summer in Queensland and although it’s been a rather mild summer compared to some of the 40 degree celcius xmas’ of the past few years it’s still warm enough for a refreshing cocktail on the deck. My drop of choice is the Mojito. The best one I’ve ever had has been at the Pavilion [...]
Profiteroles are evil
When Pauline said in the store that she wanted to buy profiterole mix I knew from the start that they would be bad news. I said I didn’t want anything to do with it and she would have to make them herself. She readily agreed and then the packet sat around the house for over [...]
Learning the language of McDonalds drive-through
There is a fine art to making an order through the McDonalds drive-through. Hesitation, indecision and pronunciation can all affect what comes through the window at the end. It is good practise to thoroughly prepare your order before you get to the voice box because lets face it, the McDonalds menu is no surprise. So [...]
Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa!
It was Lisa’s birthday on Saturday, so we decided to celebrate it (and include my belated birthday) at The Lab at the Treasury Casino.
My profession is tech geek.
My joy is food and travel.
My tech is cult of apple.
