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’ve always loved the classic BLT (that’s bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwiches, even if they can be a little boring. There’s something special about that combination of slightly fatty but so delicious bacon and the freshness of the lettuce and tomato that makes this a favourite for many people. But of course, doesn’t matter how […]…
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.

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 […]…
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 […]…
It’s been a hectic few weeks with some very exciting and slightly scary happenings in my life. Yuye and I have purchased a business! A liquor retail business to be specific. So for those of you who like to drink, be jealous. Be very jealous. 😛…
I have this tendency to buy a lot of ingredients on a whim without much thought as to what I will use it for and whether I’d even have time. This is a very bad habit as I constantly see perfectly good produce looking sad and not fresh then having to make things in a […]…
I have a confession to make. I love shopping at Costco. My heart starts to pound when I see 1.5kgs of butter and my palms get itchy walking by the 1kg peanut butter jars and 2kg cream cheese blocks. I could often be seen at the front of the line when a new batch of […]…
I’ve been craving for sugary things a lot more lately. I never used to. Savoury was always my option although desserts were welcomed as a post-dinner cleanser or accompaniment to tea and coffee. There were however, more of an eye candy for me. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been mentally and physically drained lately (can you […]…
