What We Ate- Feb 5th-12th- Happy Birthday Runner!
So, this week was a big week of birthday celebrations. We kicked off the party on Friday night at a new restaurant in Surry Hills called Master. It was tasty, trendy, and very unconventional. As with most fancy restaurants these days, it was all share plates- which is nice for dinner for two, but…

What We Ate This Week: January 27th- February 4th- the best potatoes ever
So after all the excitement of tennis and tasty food in Melbourne, this week has been a bit, well boring. Boring can be good.

Baking cupcakes was not my best idea ever, but they are The Runners favourite cupcakes- Guinness Chocolate with Bailey’s Irish Cream Frosting (hence the name Irish Cupcakes). I first made them…

Back to life, Back to reality….
So the holiday is over. I’m back at work now, which as a contractor is not such a bad thing, but from next week, real life kicks back in. Laundry will have to be done on the weekends only, meals will have to be planned, groceries bought on Sunday afternoon (don’t ask why, it just…
