Did you know that Japanese people eat their watermelon with salt? Apparently it’s quite a common occurrence there because their summers are scorching and as a result of the heat and sweat, people lose sodium and eating watermelon with salt will both add flavour to the cold watermelon and replenish a bit of the lost […]…
It was difficult to finish that huge pineapple we bought a couple of weeks ago. Even though it only cost $2.50AUD for the whole thing, I didn’t want to waste such a good ingredient so I decided to make pina coladas with it. In the end I didn’t really use up all that much of […]…
I know I said I was going to try writing one post a day. That was part of my 2012 New Years resolution. Just 2 weeks after New Years, I’ve already missed 2 days and will be missing another one tomorrow. Feeling a bit ashamed at my lack of endurance, I hope you can forgive […]…
