An unexpected reaction
I picked up my shirts from the dry cleaners today. Calm down. I know that alone is enough to send us all into conniptions of the crazy kind, but that’s not what I mentioned it for. The little Asian...

I’m getting bored
This damn diet is starting to bore me. To be sure, it’s certainly tasty, but I have a serious hankering for a potato or eight. I tried to jazz this up as much as I could, but nothing was going to work...

A beige existence
It’s not always such a bad thing, beige. Though I swear this outfit looked better in person than it does photographed. Here, it just looks boring, kinda sorta. Your opinion? Shoes – Aquila Jeans –...

Excuse me, Mr & Mrs Scientist.
Can somebody please tell me why we’re wasting money on things like a cure for cancer, child abuse or forced homelessness? Why can’t we focus on what’s important? Like cloning chickens and pigs,...

Is it just me?
I sometimes get the feeling that my shoes are trying to take over. I mean, really. While I wasn’t looking, the Shoeplex had an extension added, without any consultation with or thought to the rest of...

So close…
This dish was so close to being perfection on a plate. But no rice. Tender and moist pieces of corn-fed chicken. But no bloody rice. Beautifully tangy, with a rich and silky sauce. But no stupid,...

The ultimate Shoemanitarian?
Or just ridiculously awesome? Since the recent extension of the Shoeplex, I’ve been looking for a worthy new adoption. I managed to rescue these poor soles the other day. (Get it? Souls? Soles? God,I’m...

Cauliflower cream.
So it may not ever be as satisfying, or even remotely close to as tasty as a mound of creamy, garlic laden mashed potato, but each time I try this, it’s getting slightly better. Plain mashed...

A spoonful of sugar?
Okay, so it might have been slightly cheating on the no-carb diet, but seriously, how much harm could it do? I made a beautiful marinade for the salmon, with lemongrass and wine vinegar being a couple...

Boring shoes.
That’s right. I said it. Boring shoes. There is such a thing. My go-to black work shoes were looking a little scuffed, so it was time for me to go out and look for another pair. After much searching, I...

Thank you, come again!
