A Date With Disney

April 26, 2012

As a blogger, I receive a fair few PR requests in the inbox. For the most part, I pass on them because I’m not interested in the products, or I don’t think they will be a good fit for my blog. Really, are you interested in reading about mops and candles? I know I’m not. [...]

In With The New

April 9, 2012

A lot of you have been asking about progress on the kitchen, and I’m finally ready to share. Truthfully, it only took 5 days to deconstruct the old kitchen (before photos here) and build a new one. It took me another few days to get it organized again. So, why has it taken me so long [...]

Out With The Old

March 19, 2012

As I told y’all last week, I am getting a new kitchen. I thought I’d share some before pictures with you. It’s hard to get a picture of the whole thing, but our kitchen is a U shape. The photo above is of one side. The servery above the sink is a real waste of [...]

March 12, 2012

Where’s Waldo? Where’s Wally (as he’s known in Australia)? Where’s Cajun? Image Source Like Waldo, I’ve been hiding in plain sight.

Cajun Porn 2: Pulled Pork Tostadas – Day 3

December 7, 2011

Day 3 was a day of rest, recovery, and visiting with family, but we still had to eat. No one felt like going out, so we dug out that left over pulled pork and created the Pulled Pork Tostada. While I am a big fan of both Mexican food and barbeque, I had never thought [...]

6 Weeks

November 15, 2011

As you may remember, I have been alcohol free for the last 6 weeks. No wine. No Martini’s. Not a single solitary drop of anything fun has passed these lips in 6 weeks. Well, I did get a little wild and have a Coke Zero on Melbourne Cup day, but that doesn’t really count. Surprisingly, [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Why?

November 9, 2011

Why in the world do lizards feel the need to do this in my presence? Is it good luck or something that I keep stumbling upon lizards in compromising positions? You may remember that I witnessed a similar spectacle a few months ago on my mom’s back porch. This time though, I was not even [...]

A Tale Of Two Pies

November 1, 2011

In case you missed it here is the post I wrote last week over at Snap Crackle Pop. I was asked to compare Cajun’ness to Aussie’ness, and I decided to do that by writing about my favorite topic – FOOD! I offer you a comparison between the icon of Australian cuisine, The Meat Pie, and [...]
