Spoiler Alert!
Spoiler alert: The Runner is running! He’s just started the 20km run and looks pretty good and strong, which means he survived the bike! Hooray! The scariest part of the day (for me at least) is done! He hasn’t crashed his bike or gone flying off over the handlebars. What a relief!! Hopefully I won’t…

On your mark, Get Set, Go!
It’s race day in Husky– right about now The Runner is treading water in anticipation of the starters gun. Drinks have been measured, (non-alcoholic so far, he still has a whole race to get through!), gels have been glued, carbs have been loaded (thanks to a brown rice and chicken dinner last night– I’ve done…

A Tri Festival???
The question of the day or at least the car ride: Is a triathlon a festival? No points for guessing which side The Runner argued and which side I argued. Some background required. This weekend is the Huskisson Triathlon Festival, down in Huskisson (Jervis Bay). It’s a whole weekend of triathlon events. For The Runner,…

In Greek Mythology, Nemesis was the Goddess of Revenge, she’s the one that brings “sorrow to mortals” (according to Wikipedia which doesn’t lie). Nemesis also believed that “no one should ever have too much good, and…

Happy Birthday Runner!!!!!!!!!
We’re celebrating The Runner’s 33rd birthday this weekend! In true style, he’s biking 150 kilometers this morning before his birthday drinks this afternoon. We had dinner at Universal on Thursday night– my advice, go for dessert! Skip the overpriced, undersized entree/mains and go straight for the dessert. I had the Madame Pompadour and it was…

OMG, It’s another Sunday Dinner Party!
So this week’s challenge is from Jane Kennedy’s OMG I Can Eat That?!?. The recipe was the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Piemakin and OMG it was pretty easy and pretty good! So, soon after I picked this recipe, I had a minor freak out—it’s served in Ramekins and I “only” have two sizes of ramekins…

OMG, I Can Eat That??
Is the name of this week’s cooking challenge cookbook. Despite it’s crazy name, it’s actually pretty good and really good for my late summer pre-Ireland and US slim down! Last week I made Lamb loin dusted with dukkah with parsley and red onion salad with spicy roasted pumpkin. It was really good…

Thinking Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Jamesons ganache filling and Bailey’s Frosting, with Guinness Milk Chocolate Ice Cream…
