We were guests of InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto for the purposes of this post. The InterContinental hotel chain has recently released their Planet Trekkers menu. This menu was developed by Park Lane InterContinental chef Theo Randall along with leading children’s food expert Annabel Karmel. We were invited along to give it a try and, given our…
The odometer read just over 500 kilometres when we took delivery of the Ford Territory Titanium. As you can see below, the road trip we took bumped that up big time. Now it’s school holidays, I’m looking forward to having a reprieve from the lunch making and uniform ironing and all the other little jobs…
Who needs to hear another ‘oh woe, I’m sick’ tale, I know, but as I’m still wandering around the brain fog that I’m calling “whatever the hell I’ve got” I’ve done a lot of internet consuming lately (without a whole lot of creating).

Do you ever sit down on a Monday morning to have a chat with a friend or write a blog post – such as this – and think back to the weekend that was and wonder to yourself, “Hang on, what did we do again?” That’s how I feel about Saturday. Not a Saturday, six…
Oh boy, this year I think I’ve cleaned out the library’s selection of cookbooks that have any kind of relation to gluten free or paleo or whole foods in general. Some have been too extreme for my liking – although I’m sure they have their fans – and others would come in conflict with what…
This photo was taken in the centre of Macau, while we were travelling overseas at the beginning of 2013. For new readers: we went over to Hong Kong – where Riley proceeded to break his arm! – as a sort of pilgrimage. Adam’s 98 year-old grandfather lived there in the 1930s, smack in the…
