Doing the Double
This weekend we managed to pull off not one but two dinner parties- Friday night and Sunday night. I’m not going to lie, I was a little tired on Monday morning. I couldn’t have done it without the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. More specifically, I couldn’t have done it without the Kale salad and the Strawberry…

Oh Vienna, This Means Nothing to Me….Our Austrian Adventure Part 2
aka When I sing Ultravox for two days straight…. So we packed up from Zell Am See and headed East past Salzburg (where we had been the day before) towards Vienna. And I swear, I cannot even hear the word Vienna without thinking of this… The 1981 hit by Ultravox. To be honest, it’s not…

Road trip… Did someone say mountains?
We made it to Zell Am See thanks to The Runner’s excellent driving and trusty German roads and engineering! The autobahn is pretty cool… And Mercedes Benz does make a pretty good car…. I did very little to help other than take pictures from the passenger side of mountains…. So many mountains!!!! But we made…

Guten tag München!!!
Three thoughts immediately hit me as we start our descent into Munich. 1) Thank God! Well that’s the G rated version at least- after exactly 24 hours of flying I’m ready to get out of the air and onto the ground. I don’t mind flying but it’s been 24 hours since I took off from…

Let the adventure begin!
On my way to the airport and we’ve already passed the first hurdle…. The bike fits in the Uber car…. Just!! Fingers crossed the luggage gods smile upon me and I’m under my 30kg allowance…otherwise it’s $100 per kg and I’ll have to wear layers onto the plane!

A Night With Tintilla…
It’s no secret that The Runner and I love wine and LOVE the Hunter Valley. So when one of our favorite Hunter wineries comes to Sydney to do a wine dinner at one hat Sydney restaurant, Ume, in Surry Hills, it’s no surprise that we jumped at the chance to go. Tintilla Estate Winery has…
