This doesn’t seem right…
The Tour de France is one and one of us is snoring and the other is watching…. And guess who is doing what! Time to change the channel I think!!!!

Lions, the Tour, and the tennis…
It’s a busy, busy time in the He Runs, I Cook household. We’ve been cooking, eating, pinning, and watching sports. The Runner is in the midst of a late night sportsapalooza of Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Add in the British & Irish Lions Rugby tour and it’s been a pretty sports filled couple…

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.…

Memorial Day/ I dream of dresses
So the last week of my trip has been pretty much all wedding colours (nearly picked), venue (sorted!), and dresses. Ball gown vs a line vs mermaid vs trumpet. I’m quite lucky to be a sample size so it’s pretty easy to shop but I haven’t decided on anything– yet. All week I’ve been waiting…

Ireland– Princesses wanted!
It’s hard to believe it’s only been a week since we were in Sydney! It literally feels like it’s been a month or even longer that we’ve been away! I leave Ireland in less than 36 hours and it’s been an amazing week! The Runner and I have been in Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Wicklow, and…

And we’re off!
Watch out Ireland, here we come! As if we hadn’t been busy enough in the past 6 weeks, today we’re leaving for an overseas adventure! 2 weddings, a week of wedding planning and my Dad’s memorial service in Florida. 4 cities, 3 continents (including our stopover in Abu Dhabi), all in 20 days. I…

You are an Ironman!!!!
Well, it’s all over except for the drinking, dancing and sore muscles tomorrow! The Runner finished about 5pm today with a time of 10 hours and 20 minutes. Not too shabby! He was 126 to finish overall (out of 1600 entrants) and 25th in his age group (but who is counting!). He also finished first…
