Declutterizationing
Yes, I know it’s not a real word but it seems like a better way to express “getting rid of all of your junk before the end of the year”. Declutter is too simple, too neat to express what it actually is. It sounds like a simple process of just tossing out a box or…

Nigella Lawson’s Prosecco and Pomegranate Gelatin
So, even for an event I’m not cooking for, I’m still cooking. Tomorrow we’re having a Seafood Feast- Seared Tuna with Wasabi, Beer Marinated BBQ prawns, oysters, Barbecue Virgin Scallops– don’t ask, it’s a Luke Mangan recipe from last Sunday’s paper…. and of course salads- Nigella’s Red Salad, a Green Salad with Mandarin and Pomegranate,…

So this is Christmas….
And I’m not cooking….. much. Ok, so that’s not true, and the grocery bills from Coles today will attest to that! Traditionally, because Thanksgiving is such a big deal to me, I like to sit back, relax and let someone else deal with Christmas. It’s not that I’m a Scrooge, but I’m just not that…

I’m back?
So it’s been a while since I’ve written anything and I do have to apologise. I haven’t really been myself lately. Sadly I’ve been writing obituaries instead of cooking blogs and talking to people more about death and dying than what I’m cooking this week. In fact, I haven’t really been cooking at all, or…

The last supper
So it’s my last night in DC which brings a flood of emotions but it also brings a last dinner out. Tonight’s last supper was at Lauriol Plaza, Sister restaurant to Cactus Cantina. I love mexican food and cactus/lauriol is the best mexican food. In fact, if I ever wind up on death row I…
