The Christmas that just went…
So there it was. Christmas. It came as quickly as a teenage boy… and then left feeling just as ashamed. The Optimus Prime-esque light displays that were clearly trying to signal another culture from the depths of a very distant solar system will soon yield to the weight of more consumerism in the form of…

Chelsea Buns with a Nutty Twist (from Ginger and Bread)
It is 1:07am, a time that would usually be considered somewhere between well past my bedtime and way to early to be waking up. There was a time in my life when this would be the time that the party was just getting started, but now with the responsibility of having a family, working the…

Gimme Some Sugar, Baby… Or Not
I’ll keep this short and sweet. Heheh. We live in a world that is slowly turning it’s collective nose to the use of refined sugars. One big, fat nose the size of South America being scrunched up so it looks like it belongs to a bulldog, and the noise of an almighty “hmph” from just…

Almost healthy rocky road type thing
Do you like a bit of chocolate on the odd occasion? I like a bit of chocolate on the odd occasion. I don’t like to admit it though. I actually have some kind of phobia in my sub-conscious that prevents me from admitting I like chocolate (or anything sweet, really), hence the lack of sweet…

Another day, another cook-off part 3… and the winner is…
So it has finally happened. Jennee has produced the recipes of the dishes Sarah and she prepared at our last “Stockdale vs Cootes cook-off”. Just as I have been able to at last put that last crippling defeat of cookery at the hands of my dear wife and her family out of my mind and…

Another day, another cook-off
Another day, another cook-off That’s right, another cook-off in our humble home. Something different, right? Although a good cook-off may be a regular occurrence around these here parts, we have altered the terms with a slight global twist. Or quite literally a twist of the globe. Yes, I had another brilliant idea; we would close…
