Heavens! It’s been a tad too long since I’ve updated this blog and I admit that in the past few weeks, it simply slipped down the list of priorities. The Jewish holidays really got the better of me. I guess that’s the general idea (!), but with all the cooking, entertaining, decorating, dancing, introspection, walking, … Continue reading
It’s the eve of the Jewish New Year. I can’t quite believe that another year has flown by. I’m struggling to recall where I was or what I was doing this time last year . . . I do know that we were not yet living in our new housie and that I wasn’t cooking … Continue reading
As I downloaded yet another useful photography tool onto my iPhone, I stopped to think about all the amazing resources I use on a daily basis. All the websites, apps and portals that help me create, file, share and learn. It’s honestly mind boggling to contemplate the sheer number of inspirational, credible and FREE online … Continue reading
Allow me to step back in time here, if you will. The following images have been languishing in my “still to be edited” folder for almost 8 months. And through no fault of their own, mind you. The establishment they depict is one of my favourite Cape Winelands locations. Given the competition, that’s top marks! … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of the (supposedly fresh) supermarket produce here. The fruit and vegetables just aren’t up to scratch. The duopoly of supermarkets can sing about their so-called “fresh” until they are, quite frankly, blue in the face, but you’re not going to convince me that it is. Bland, frozen, … Continue reading
Melbourne. You beauty. You constantly surprise and amuse me. On a recent trip, I decided to try out a new coffee place. Okay, so no surprises there. Switchboard Cafe, the website suggested. Sounded interesting. Architecturally tempting. On Collins St. Located in an old building? Ah yes, the Manchester Unity building. The description read “small enough to miss”. … Continue reading
My gluten-free baking friend is so darn talented, hard-working, prolific and passionate about The Gluten Free Challenge, that I felt the need to blog about her gluten-free goodness once again. Seriously people, even if you’re a wheat-eater you’d no doubt find yourself exclaiming: “I can’t believe these are gluten-free!” Orly hosted another tasting session a few … Continue reading
A few months ago, a little bee in my bonnet starting buzzing . . . I’d read a travel article about road tripping down the New South Wales South Coast. As often happens, when the spirit of a place resonates with me, the spark of inspiration can often turn into a mild obsession. Then, as often happens, … Continue reading
If I told you that all the delectable goodies below were gluten-free, would you believe me? Hmmmm . . . didn’t think so. They sure are. AND they taste amazing. My very talented friend Orly is developing a range of gluten-free goodies and lucky for me – unlucky for my waistline – I sample her … Continue reading
As you’ll see, I’ve done a spot of mixing and matching this past week. Aside from my sheer love of the game, I do like to pour through my archived shots. I’m reminded of some of the utterly fabulous places and spaces I’ve been fortunate enough to visit in the past few years. It also … Continue reading
