Well, I've been really bad at blogging about stuff (as I warned Mark I might be), but today I thought to myself I should write about the topic that excites me every day - and that's FOOD. I love the stuff. I love to cook and I've recently discovered I like to grow it, too. If I could talk the other people in our apartment building into it, I'd have chickens
Sounds yummy... can I recommend Jalebis for dessert? Basically an excuse to eat fat and sugar! A thin batter is deep-fried in spirals, then soaked in sugar syrup. Link cheers Toni
Another trip to Canberra approaches .. out nation's capital and the location of most of my in-laws and my parents, too. As usual the prospect of spending time with my mother sends apprehension through me - even though I only have to make it through lunch. Everyone always chimed in when I used to say "My mother's strange" - all claiming their parents were th
Honey pie, I'm sure the camera's in one of the drawers in the coffee table. But where are the batteries? Hee hee
First of all- apologies for taking so long to blog again... looking for a new home and being sick (only a cold) left me uninspired. And then, an email arrives and I'm struck with thoughts and feelings. My very first ever boyfriend, who I stayed friends with for years but who then dropped off the face of the earth, has reappeared! He left a message for my f
Thanks for the comments, people! The best cure for a speeder is to not let him/her drive for awhile. I actually hadn't thought about this - but yes I used to be faster on the roads till I had to take a 6 month break for reasons I won't go into here *blush*. But chiefly I think its because this
I'm here to tell the government - those TV ads telling motorists there's no such thing as safe speeding just aren't working. And while I haven't been side-swiped by a speeder just yet (large amounts of touch wood here) I'm almost certain it's just a matter of time. What really cheeses me off is how many people just take it for granted. In a conversation
Hey San! Thanks for the hint, I know I can do it using the "link" button too. Used to be a web-thingy but have recently forgotten all my HTML! DrGuy, 11 Nephews and nieces? I think your family has done their duty for god and Country. It's actually 10 of them total (Mitch brought his
Mmmfh, should have known better than to attempt to debate with someone who doesn't even know how to spell Palestinians. And I'm not "laminate" about them - at a guess you mean lament? OK my last news report shows the score is Israel - killed 230 Lebanese civilians while Hizbollah - killed 13 Israeli civilians. I'm guessing the relatives of those 230 Lebanese number far more than the 377 Israelis you say have been wounded. Now I'm not on Hizbollah's side! And I do thi
So dynamaso and I had our nephew and his friend as house guests for the past few days. (gotta figure out how to link to his blog) Anyhoo - two 14-year-old boys in the house of a childless-by-choice couple could have been a little scary, but I'm pleased to report we had a ball. No doubt you'll get photos from Mark, but I thought I'd just give my perspective.
According to a news report I've read, Israeli planes have killed more than 150 people - retaliating for Hizbollah rocket attacks and the capture of two soldiers on Wednesday. The UN's called for an end to the "disproportionate" response, and I can't help but agree. This aint no eye-for-an-eye retaliation. Israel has bombed the airport, the port, electricity infrastructure and many other targets. And now Hizbollah is calling on the other Mus
Me-oh-my, what a delightful response to my debut on JU. Thank you to all for your kind words... Sally luckily enough I am a mouthy little thing, and said something SO glad to hear that! DrG <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-T
Dictionary.com defines frottage as: the act of rubbing against the body of another person, as in a crowd, to attain sexual gratification. And since I gave up the mosh-pit - years ago - I thought I was fairly safe from this embarrassing, invasive, and generally icky practice. But after boarding a crowded train at Sydney's Wynyard station on a recent Frida
Thanks to you all - Sally, DrG and Nicky. Just about to post my first article and hope you all like it!
It's not my first time on here, as I've posted on my husband's blog recently (dynamaso). But now I'm going to leap into it myself. Whooeee this water's cold! Keep swimming, girl... Cheers to all and I'll post a real article real soon.
