Microgreens in the office – yes, do it!

Doug is my deskmate at work. We’ve been trying to level up our gardening skills because plants are cool and working with computers is soul-sucking if you don’t have other hobbies to keep you sane. Inspired by the cress postcarden from Swee, we took to growing microgreens. Microgreens are germinated seeds that are allowed to…

Will we have shark’s fin soup this year?

Chinese New Year is this Sunday. Usually, we have noodles, meat & rice, low hai and sometimes shark’s fin soup. But my family are umming and ahhing this year because of the sad, sad shark video we saw today. Not gory, but – wow – how difficult to watch. Even if you try not to think…

Lapa – a desire for meat

A dinner at Lapa, as we would learn, consists of meat. Lots of meat. Joe told us about this place just before Christmas, selling us on their $49 all you can eat deal. Yeah, you heard me. I was skeptical at first, picturing a Sizzler-esque buffet chamber – or maybe $49 was a special Scoopon…

Guineafowl egg, poached, with soy sauce

This is the egg of a Guinea Fowl, poached and drizzled with soy sauce. It tastes like a normal chicken egg with the added novelty of eating an egg produced by another game bird. The guineafowl diet covers a very wide range of insects, which includes mosquitoes (my archnemeses!) and evil, evil wasps. I feel like…

Another fine Caturday

This was possibly the first Saturday in ages where I’ve gotten up before noon. Came home early last night to set up my greenhouse and play League of Legends. I’m worried i’ve become boring; not been up for long haul drinking lately, and its nice to have something constructive to obsess over constructively.

Yummy chocolate brownie

This was unexpected. Decided on a salad and dessert for Village lunch today. I had my eye on the apple & rhubarb crumble when Luke, one of the owners, sprung his personal recommendation of the warm chocolate brownie. OH MY GOD. I’m pretty sure this has ruined other brownies for me forever. It’s so gooey…

Delicious meat pie

The meat pie has remained my favourite low budget, low effort Australian cuisine since my family moved here 17 years ago. I know it cops a lot of flack in this country for being a mass produced “snouts and arseholes” dish, but you know, in some cultures, snout and arsehole are delicacies. Throughout uni, my…
