Another Sunday, Another Dinner!
Yup, another Sunday Dinner party tonight. I’m looking forward to using our new red wine glasses and also our new salt and pepper shaker… Our engagement party was like Christmas I tell you! This week it’s a roast pork recipe that The Runner found during the week on Goodfood.com.au. The link is here if you…

A Thank You Post/Tuesday Night Dinner
So…. as you may have heard on the grapevine, The Runner and I got engaged a few months ago… don’t laugh, I did apparently have 1 Facebook friend who somehow hadn’t heard last week. Weird. Very weird– and actually it’s more of a Facebook acquaintance, but I digress. So, we had our engagement party last…

Do you Fondue??
We do! Or at least we will be shortly. You may remember from my post on chili con carne that fondue is one of my absolute all time favourite foods, and one of the foods that according to my mother is a “winter only” food. Well, seeing as we only have 5 more…

Chili!!!!!
It’s chili night in the He Runs, I Cook household– YAY! If you’re Australian, you’d say Chili Con Carne (or pronounced carnie– weird!), if you’re American, it’s just plain Chili, according to the The Runner, the Irish say it both ways…. whatever way you say it, tonight it’s Chili night in our house. Chili is…

Lions, the Tour, and the tennis…

The first dish I learned to cook….
Or that I remember learning how to cook at least, is Veal Marsala. I couldn’t have been very old, but I remember cooking it at maybe 10, 11 or 12, or even 13. Twenty years later and the memory is a bit fuzzy on dates/years. I can’t actually remember how I learned to cook Veal…

The Rain in Sydney
is absolutely torrential this weekend! It’s a great excuse to put the ugg boots on and have a lazy Sunday- which is exactly what we’re doing! Lucky for me, I don’t have to leave the house today. The Runner did the the grocery shopping yesterday to celebrate the joy of our new discovery in…

Where does the time go?
Seriously, this year is flying by! It’s halfway through June and I keep thinking it’s only March or April at the latest. Very strange, and of course with the days flying by, I’m feeling quite behind. I’ve been cooking lots– chocolate chip banana pancakes this morning, shepherd’s pie, 4 cheese mac and cheese, buffalo…

Taking the long way home…
I’ll spare you all of the details from the memorial service but it was fun, touching, funny, heart wrenching and basically everything a funeral should be. I’m now on my way back to Sydney, but trust me kids, I’m taking the scenic route. Tampa to Washington to Boston to Dublin to Abu Dhabi to Sydney.…
