I can’t believe just how fast time has gone by. It’s been one month since I last posted and it’s only 3 months left until our wedding! Ahh! In the beginning I really only wanted a simple, no fuss reception but as planning started to unfold, it became more and more complicated. The budget has […]…
There’s one smell that I absolutely cannot resist and that’s freshly toasted nuts. That aromatic earthy smell gets me salivating and I just want to eat whole mouthfuls of whatever nut it is. That’s why I love buying raw nuts, so that I can toast the nuts myself. Most people have obviously heard of peanut […]…
I love eating pears as much as I like eating many other fruits. I like them skin on in all its raw glory, or skin off and poached in many ways. However, even though I love my pears, we don’t actually eat it all that often. Strange isn’t it? Perhaps it’s because I leave it […]…
I’ve always loved the colour of the persimmon. It’s golden orange and its rustic warm feel signals that Autumn is among us. The yellowing of leaves and the arrival of Autumn veggies and fruits are what I love about Autumn. The only thing that inevitably comes with it is the cold temperatures and the unbearable […]…
Have you ever bought a pack of cookies or some other food and thought to yourself, I can make this, possibly even better? Country Ma’am’s matcha soft cookies is a pre-packaged cookie brand that’s very popular in Japan and I’ve even bought them from a Japanese grocery store in Melbourne. As it’s pre-packaged, you’d need […]…
I’ve never really cared much about Anzac Day as a child. The teachers talked about it every year and how we should watch the Dawn Service and read about our great land’s history. For a new migrant from China, I didn’t really understand just what Anzac Day meant. In more recent years though, after meeting […]…
If you haven’t had a chance to watch the first few episodes of MasterChef Australia 2014 yet, you must go to their website right now and catch up! They have had such a crazy and exciting start that I’ve actually already shed a tear or 2. There are truly amazing people on the show but […]…
This post is sponsored by Nuffnang. Finally we’re getting a bit of well deserved sunshine! This beautiful weather makes me feel like I should be eating healthier and getting up earlier in the mornings. Something I haven’t done for quite some time. It came at a great time too as Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy […]…
I hope you all had a great Easter because I did. We were finally able to take a day off together and in good time too as it was Yuye’s birthday last Thursday. Time really flies when you’re busy. It feels like just yesterday when Yuye and I started this liquor shop and it’s now […]…
Hi my lovely readers! Happy 2013! I’m finally back in action. Sorry it’s taken me so long to recover but I’ve really been quite busy while I was in China, plus bad internet connections kept me away. Now I’m desperately trying to adjust to this Melbourne weather and trying not to get heatstroke…I just came […]…
